I DIG Tapp. Really like the move.

 

Great move here by Philly

 

Please update us when you know what pick the Eagles gave. Any pick between a 4th-7th is a freaking steal for the iggles.

 

The Eagles traded a fourth round draft choice along with Chris Clemons for Darryl Tapp.

Thats a good deal for both sides. We were being bogged down with defensive ends - Kerney, Jackson, Tapp and Reed were all rotaationg without any continuity. You know Carroll wants to draft his own pass rusher, so I though we would unload one. I thought it would be Kerney though, not Tapp.

 

I agree, good deal for both sides....Clemons will be a good backup and the 4th gives seattle some more flexibility to move up in the draft.

 

Clemons will be playing in Carroll's "Elephant" package.

 

I can't honestly say that I know enough about Tapp to love or hate this move, but from what I've read about him, it seems to make sense.
