I just wanted to throw out some draft
scenarios that the Eagles could go. The main focus of Eagles fans has
been on offensive tackle, but most of the best tackles will be taken by
the time the Eagles are on the clock at 21, so why not take the best
offensive guard in the draft: Duke Robinson? We all know Andy Reid loves his big linemen and at 6′5″, 335 pounds, Duke must make Andy’s mouth water.
Even better is the fact that he should be available to the Eagles at
28. Most mock drafts have Robinson going in the late first-round or
early second-round, so he would be a great target for the Eagles at
28. If the Eagles like him enough, they could throw in a 5th rounder
to move up a few spots if they think he’s about to be snagged. This
could help Shawn Andrews move over to tackle if that’s necessary. A
starting line of The Duke, The Andrews Brothers, Jamaal Jackson, and
Jean-Gilles? That’s a lot of beef. And the Eagles still have that
21st pick to grab an elite offensive weapon like a Brandon Pettigrew,
Knowshon Moreno, Darrius-Heyward Bey, or LeSean McCoy.
The fact that The Duke could be available at 28 makes the draft more
exciting for me because instead of having to trade both first-round
picks to move up to grab an elite tackle, the Eagles can fill 3
positions of need (OL, RB, and TE) with their first three picks without
having to trade up in the first round of the draft.
So I ask you, what draft scenario do you like best and why?
Leave some comments on my site please. The draft scenarios I outlined are listed on the original article URL.
