The Eagles, in a bit of a head scratcher, selected the Missouri receiver with the 19th pick of round one. One has to wonder: What does Maclin give [...]

WOW!! I can’t believe they did it. The Eagles drafted a wide receiver in the FIRST ROUND!! Never saw this coming. I didn’t think Jeremy Maclin would drop all the way the the 19th pick. Birds traded up with the Browns and all they gave up was a 6th round pick. Great deal to add [...]

Mark Sanchez the best pick in the draft? No. You don't package up and wound your defense to get a player who cannot provide an instant impact. Cripes. You stay at 17 and you would have had the explosive receiver you really needed in Jeremy Maclin.I mean really. I know Day 2 is running long, but stop trying to be the USC Football Channel. You don't have the Pac-10 under contract...

Most Eagles fans didn't have Missouri wide receiver Jeremy Maclin on their radar due to the simple reason he was projected to be a top ten pick. Maclin fell into the Eagles laps at 19 and it was time to get to know the electric player who may need a little polish.
Bob Ford educated us on Maclin's tough upbringing that was facilitated by another great family that...

The Eagles have certainly made offense a priority. After taking wide receiver Jeremy Maclin in the first round,
the Birds took another speedy skill position player for the offense:
running back LeSean McCoy from Pittsburgh. McCoy is a shifty back with
great hands who can make big plays out of the backfield. Seems like the
perfect backup for Brian Westbrook, and...

The Cleveland Browns have traded the 19th pick to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Browns receive the 21st overall pick and the 195th overall pick.
The Eagles selected WR Jeremy Maclin.
I have to say, I still like this move. Beanie Wells, Ray Maulaluga, Brandon Pettigrew, and Clay Matthews all still on the board. I think the Browns would be happy with any of them, and we’ve been...

A couple of observations that occurred to me while I was on a drive from New Jersey back home Saturday (it was a bar mitzvah this time; I've consumed my weight in whitefish salad over the past two weeks):So who's the more provincial in radio coverage of the NFL draft, Philadelphia or Baltimore?I was listening to Philadelphia's all-sports station, WIP, after the Eagles had picked...

In an unexpected selection, the Eagles decided to add a wide receiver with their first pick in today's NFL draft. They like Jeremy Maclin out of Missouri so much that they moved up two spots to get him. Maclin will join a speedy group of Philadelphia pass catchers that includes last year's prized pick, DeSean Jackson. Knowshon Moreno was long gone having gone to Denver at...

First things first. I think a thank you note from the 49ers to the Raiders is in order. Don’t you?The Raiders chose Maryland wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey with the seventh pick in the first round, taking the fastest receiver in the draft but leaving Texas Tech’s Michael Crabtree, arguably the most skilled receiver, for the 49ers.This actually worked out perfectly for both...
