PLAYERS: Eugene Monroe, Brandon Pettigrew, Mike Goodson, Brian Westbrook, Hakeem Nicks, Calvin Johnson
In my last article,
I addressed the possibility of the Eagles drafting Maryland’s Darrius
Heyward-Bey. I think the possibility of that happening is very slim.
The Eagles could have their eyes set on Virginia OT Eugene Monroe,
who is a lock to go in the top 10. However, according to the draft
value chart, the Eagles could trade both first-round picks and a
fifth-round pick to trade into the top 10 if they find a willing trade
partner (Cincinnati at 6 and San Fransisco at 10 are possible trading
partners). If the Eagles can make the move, I think they should do
it. All the top tackles will be long gone by the time the Eagles are
on the clock at 21 and they desperately need to find Tra Thomas’s
replacement.
If the Eagles are forced to stay put, Darrius Heyward-Bey may go to
the Bucs, Jets, or Bears, so it’s time to look at other some other
options the Eagles have to boost the offense. Brandon Pettigrew would
be ideal, but let’s go a bit deeper in the draft. Who could the Eagles
target in rounds 2 and 3? I already posted an article praising the
skills of Texas A&M runningback Mike Goodson, who reminds me very much of Brian Westbrook with his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.
Another guy you should get familiar with is North Carolina WR Hakeem Nicks.
Nicks is 6′1″ 212 lbs. He’s not as explosive as Heyward-Bey, so he’s
not really a vertical threat, but he reminds me a bit of Calvin Johnson
with his long arms, leaping ability, and great route running. He’s
just a tremendous option for the Eagles in the 2nd round and possibly
the 3rd.
