As always, hit up the original. Now, onto the story... Knowshon Moreno went much higher than anticipated. He went #12 to the Broncos. Eagles had to come up with Plan B. They obviously wanted to boost the offense. They're not sold on Beanie Wells (thank goodness), it was too early to take Donald Brown or LeSean McCoy, so why not add another playmaker to the receiving corp?Brandon Pettigrew was on the board, but I'm not sold on him as the Eagles pick: he's more of a premier blocker than a premier receiver and the Eagles like their TEs to be receivers and I still think the Eagles want Jared Cook or Chase Coffman in round 2. The Eagles traded up from 21 to 19 to take Maclin, so they must have been sold on him. I don't know what the Eagles had to throw in: maybe a 5th or 6th rounder? We have four 5th rounders, so they might as well spend them.I expected Maclin to be taken between 10 and 15. I rated him much higher than Darrius Heyward-Bey, who the Raiders foolishly drafted at 7,...

hes god but i dont think he will make a difference for us
-
good* he aint god

Wow, I thought we were going to trade out of the first, but I am happy with the pick.
-
personally I would keep Demps as the Kick returner, because hopefully Maclin will become to valuable to use as a Kick returner

Im just tired of this BS they pull of gambling on the future, mcnabb and westbrook deserve a ring and most of all this fanbase derserves it, ive never been around more passionate fans and it just seems we get bamboozled, we buy their merchandise we buy their game tickets and in my case we buy sunday ticket to get their games, i think its about time they give the fans what they want...
Rashad Jennings....What happened to him??
I remember not too long ago, Rashad Jennings was considered a top 10 RB and projected to go anywhere from the late 2nd to late 4th round. He has been listed as Mel Kiper's #1 prospect for about 80 picks now and nobody seems to be interested. I thought the Eagles would be thrilled to get him with one of their 5ths, and they passed on all 4 of them. Then when he was sitting there...
Knowshon Moreno almost a reality in Philadelphia
Ok...So maybe we won't get the "big" name receiver. Hey maybe Reggie finally has his breakout year. Maybe Desean becomes the Steve Smith of the NFC EAST. BUT...we just may get the future running back we need in Philly. With the offensive line we now have I have gotta think the front office wants to put some talent behind them. Between our front line and a stud like...

Crabtree on Eagles' radar?
Last year I worked with a guy who is friends with someone in the front office. He told me that Michael Crabtree was on the Eagles' radar and that Big Red was in love with this guy. I was watching highlights of him on you tube and the first thing I thought of was 2004 when the Eagles had Owens and how good McNabb and the offense was then. Now, with Desean Jackson, Curtis, and...
HOPE ONE OF THESE GOES DOWN!
I HOPE THE EAGLES PICK ONE OF THESE THINGS! 1 PICK BRANDON AT TE OR TRADE FOR A BIG TIME WR!
Can we now go a whole day without hearing the word Boldin?
We picked a good WR. Between him and D Jack, we have a solid, fast core. So, no more Boldin, let us all move on gracefully.
Maclin’s wait ends, finds a home in Philly
After yet another trade by the Cleveland Browns - this time swapping with the Philadelphia Eagles - Jeremy Maclin has fianlly heard his name called by Roger Goodell.
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 [...]
Can you smellllllllllllllllll what the Eagles are COOK'n?
The Eagles first day was fantastic and I could not have asked for more this off season. Everyone including myself has doubted the Eagles FO this off season wondering what the hell they were doing. If you were told at the beginning of this off season that the Eagles were going to land arguably the best LT in the league, Weaver, Jones, Maclin and McCoy people would think you are...
Unusual First-Round for the Philadelphia Eagles
In a predictable move, the Philadelphia Eagles traded their first-round NFL draft pick. However, unlike most years the Eagles actually traded up! Did they trade up for a running back or a tight end? Nope, they traded up for wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. Would I be a hypocrite to complain?
Eagles acquire CB Ellis Hobbs from Patriots

April 26, 2009
In a move that may be insurance in case disgruntled cornerback Sheldon Brown holds out,
the Eagles acquired cornerback Ellis Hobbs from the Patriots for two
5th round picks, choices 137 and 141 overall. Hobbs has been a starter
for the Patriots the last two seasons, picking up 4 interceptions in
that time. He is entering the last year of his deal so he will likely
be an Eagle...

I think it was a good draft for the EAGLES but, I would've like to see more depth @ DT. I.E., Ricky Jean Francis(DT) LSU.
