Now let me give you my perspective on this offseason.............
Trade Reggie Brown to a team that needs a solid number four Wideout that could compete for a number two or three job. Teams that would be interested would be Minnesota,Miami,Oakland,Chicago would kill for him, and you madden nerds out there Reggie Brown has a higher overall than all bears wideouts, can't trade him to the browns because they're lineup next year will be Edwards,Joe J.,and Stallworth and they feel happy with that, Detriot would take him IFFF they don't sign Shaun MacDonald. All these teams would trade at most a fifth round pick for him but Reggie Will not be Released because he can still get value and the eagles don't wanna just get rid of him without something.
Get rid of Booker, they put him in, and it didn't work out. I won't complain but i'm a little upset because the eagles draft so well outside of the first round. And Second round sometimes.
Re-Sign Bucky, he is clearly in his prime and as a Buckhalter fan i'd say Bucky leave sign somewhere else where you'll get touches cause you can clearly power run and you have speed man.
I think we can all agree, Re-Sign Dawk for two years, so if he does wanna hang it up he can retire with a year left and feel proud and not feel like the eagles organization is making the decision for him. And you sign Dawk back for two more years the worst he can do is mentor Demps and blossum Demps into his own and help MIkell take that next level as a fearful saftey, and for you madden nerds out there, Mikell's new rating is an 89 in madden, RESPECT. Oh and by the way, the reason Dawk started commanding the feild again half way through the season is becuase they turned the defense basically over to Bradley and Mikell and told Dawk you have three choices if its a coverage play just run back don't let the ball over you, if they see run formation have Dawk run blitz, and pass blitz. That is when Dawk is beast and that's why he really improved and looked like a 28 year old CRAZY Free Saftey.
Get a real Fullback and put my man KLECKO back in the rotation with the DT's because he had 2 sacks in the first 6 games of the season before getting place back into the FB spot. He avg. 1 sack every three games, do the math thats a little over 5 sacks for the season.
I love Greg Lewis but the Wide Reciever core really needs to be shortened and Marty Morhinweg has been talking about doing that. His special teams play isn't anything a fourth spot corner couldn't do. Cut him.
Sign Baskett to a 3 year deal, lets see how he does this offseason.
The eagles CANNOT RE-SIGN L.J. SMITH!!! THEY CANNOT!! That's that!! No more talk about L.J. Smith
The eagles have to address the tackle spots, I say sign Tra on a two year deal that if he wants to retire after the first year then he can atleast feel he went out on his terms and with Jon Runyan I really like the guy and thats why I say we'll miss his play but the guy is banged up and I really want him to retire while he can still walk by himself. If you guys don't believe me wow, you really have to hear him talk and see him limpin around it's really bad, so as a fan I say come on sign one more year but as a friend i'd say come on man, you've had a great career, DEF. underrated but no-one in philly or anywhere would ever say you didn't give it your all, and for that i say thanks.
NOW FOR MY WISHES IN THE DRAFT AND A LITTLE HISTORY OF MY DRAFT OVERVIEW
If you go back to my articles last year I wrote one called Draft Wishes, look at the date it was all about a month before the draft and I said i WANTED desean jackson. I'm trying to pull a Brandon Lang and go on a streak here.
This could be a realstic trade.
Trade away Omar Gaither, he'd shine in a 3-4 defense but he'd be a starter in a 4-3 also. Now you sign Sheppard for a three year deal to make him happy. Make a package of Gaither,Sheppard,both first round draft picks to St.Louis for their first round.
Draft Michael Crabtree. If you don't know college football and don't know who he is all i can say is look him up i'm not goin to make a case for him but the eagles have realized the difference a Number 1 guy can do in that big game. Listen to Joe Banners interview with Derrick Gunn You'll realize what he's talking about.
So with our first round draft pick from St.Louis we select Michael Crabtree, with our second round pick we select the best possible OT on the board.
With our third round draft pick and our fourth round pick and a fifth round pick acquired for reggie brown we trade with the browns 3/4/5 round picks for kellen winslow jr.
With our other fifth round draft pick we should draft the FB out of Georgia Brannan Southerland.
Then the rest of the picks JUST GO CRAZY!!
Our starting lineup would be
Mcnabb
Westbrook
SoutherLand
Thomas
Herremans
Jackson
Andrews
Runyan
Crabtree
Jackson
Curtis
Winslow Jr.
Cole
Patterson
Bunkley
Parker/Clemons/Abiarmiri
Jordan
Bradley
Gocong
Samuel
Brown
Mikell
Dawkins
