Here is my in-depth analysis on what the Eagles approach may be at adding a left tackle. They could trade for Bills LT Jason Peters or trade up for a guy like Michael Oher. What I found more interesting is the Eagles options at RB. The Eagles have about a half-dozen options at RB. I used to be a Knowshon Moreno fanatic and I'd also be happy with Beanie Wells, but the Eagles can find a diamond-in-the-rough RB in the 2nd or 3rd round. I love Texas A&M's Mike Goodson! He is very much like Brian Westbrook and I say the Eagles should jump on him as early as the 2nd round assuming those first two picks of theirs net Michael Oher and Brandon Pettigrew. You have to see this higlight video at the end of the article.

    I'm sure they are weighing their options. If Andre Smith or Oher are within grasp I think the Eagles will pull the trigger. Oher is projected as a RT at the NFL level, and I'm not sure if they will be interested enough to move up to get him. Possibly slide him over to RG if they feel comfortable moving Shawn Andrews to LT? I think Andre Smith would be a better choice at LT, but is he THAT much better than Britton? (who we could probably take at pick 21). I think we are going to take full advantage of this years surplus (OL, RB, WR) and go for the best value picks. I like the thought of taking the best OL (Oher, A. Smith or Britton) and TE (Pettigrew) with our first two picks and selecting a RB in the second (McCoy out of PItt). Then moving back up in the second round (via trade with our multitude of 5th rounders) to take WR Kenny Britt. The best available safety in the third round, then best available player thereafter.

    We could probably snag a player like RB DeMarco Murray in the third round. He has added value since he has KR ability (if Demps is going to be full time FS and we don't want to get DeSean killed, it might be a good idea to add another KR/PR). This kid looks pretty quick and is fairly aggressive for his size. Check out the video:

  • Maybe its because he went to high school near me, maybe its because he is a beast, but all I want is RB McCoy from Pitt
