A) think what you want but no he doesn't. reid can put names out there that he wants but howie roseman has final say this year and i trust the sources i have on this and no they aren't working at WIP. that fact may actually in the end may prove you right if they go LB in the 1st round. B) that may be the case C)true on LB but there are better options available via FA. if lofton is not tagged by the falcons he is the better option. he's young, experienced and proven. if they can get him the team on paper fills a giant hole. michael floyd ? why do you suddenly think that ? you argued for a week that the eagles wouldn't miss a beat if they lost desean jackson because of the weapons they'd still have. now you think they should go WR @ #15 ?
stevenson sylvester is not bad, i could see him as a starter for us. MLB can be addressed in round 2, oline and NT are bigger needs. I have hightower as a solid second round guy, id be thrilled with him in round 2....but taze is the only MLB id like in round 1. I think hightower will run too slow to be a first rounder personally. i love his size and versatility but taze is what we need more as a MLB next to timmons. Konz at center and pouncey at guard would be sweet sexual magic on turf and poe at NT and all over the dline rotating with keisel, hood, and cam heyward at DE....just magical, espeically since all of them are big bodies that can hold blocks in a 34 (except that cat hood) but all can generate a pass rush (especially keisel and that cat hood). Poe could potentially be a ngata type dline player and theres a dozen teams out there hating passing on ngata back then. Just dont like the value of higtower there, at least not until after the combine...if he runs a 4.5 im sold, but realistically im expecting him in the 4.9-5 range with the likes of spikes and maualuga (both of whom really liked as prospect in a 34 too) but something i notice about hightower is how painfully slow he CAN be off the snaps, not all the time but enough
If it helps Hightower has gotten faster the more he recovers from his injury. From everything I've read the team is considering moving Hood to NT which I'm sure you'll love LOL
I think we'll take Jenkins over Dre In the first, I think the Eagles will either go Poe or Floyd. I think Bockers will be long gone, and he wont slip past us Poe works much better with Cullen Jenkins then Bockers does
If at 15 we have the option for Blackmon, Brockers, DeCastro, Floyd, Burfict, or Hightower, I'd be pissed off if we didn't pick one and trade some of our multiple picks in the next couple rounds to move up Right behind 15 and get another one of these heckers.
