REPOST: UPDATED 2012 WISHLIST

MLB Vontaze Burfict:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1664141/vontaze-burfict

(I take him on a reach in Round ONE. I think the Eagles locker room can handle him)

*CB Stephon Gilmore:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1664166/stephon-gilmore

(Round TWO pick ONE. Asante gets traded and this guy gets the Nickel assignment)

WLB Nigel Bradham:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1619567/nigel-bradham

(Round TWO pick TWO. A hitter who’s speed off the edge will kill drives)

OT Brandon Mosley:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1749916/brandon-mosley

(Round THREE. Safe pick for depth. May even be useful at TE in “Jumbo” packages)

*DT Josh Chapman:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1273325/josh-chapman

(Round FOUR pick ONE reach. Raw power is a commodity we have precious little of)

C Quentin Saulsberry: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1632352/quentin-saulsberry

(Round FOUR pick TWO. Versatile and mean. Should push others in camp. More depth)

RB Bobby Rainey:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1278228/bobby-rainey

(Round FIVE. Runs, catches, returns, and blocks. BWest 2.0 with better knees at draft)

*QB Russell Wilson:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1272242/russell-wilson

(Round SIX pick ONE. Seriously! Take a look at this guy)

WR T.J. Graham:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1630354/tj-graham

(Round SIX pick TWO. KR/PR with 4.3 speed, who also plays the slot (i.e. the middle))

*OG Joe Looney:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1619668/joe-looney

(Round SIX pick THREE. This guy was designed for Howard Mudd’s system)

*Changes:

DT Chapman’s ranking changed, so I moved him down from Rd2 to Rd5 (I know right?)

FA Billy Bajema seems a better way to go if a blocking TE is needed. Weak class.

QB was inserted for FB.

  • I think we fans need to be more patient with Allen. This season he'll be a year removed from his surgery and should be more confident. I do think he needs someone to push him. As a rookie he was the anointed one, so he never had the pressure of truly EARNING a starting NFL position.

    We still have yet to see what Jarrett has to offer.

    I don't see the point of spending another high pick just yet. That said, click the link on Gilmore up there. He may offer the ability to swing the Nickle and FS. Seriously. Look under TACKLING.

  • I like a lot of your picks here and I agree drafting another S isn't the answer. I think it comes via FA by bringing in a solid veteran who will push these guys to play better. My only question is if you think we should draft a TE in maybe the 3rd or 4th round. With the Ingram experiment over and the league starting to play with two talented TEs (i.e. NE) wouldn't it be smart to try and boost our depth. I love Celek but if he goes down what then?

  • I think we're good with Clay Harbor, and Garrett Celek (Brent's brother) is slotted as a post draft FA, so we could always sign and get a look at him in camp. He is primarily a blocker though (used to play Tackle in HS).

    I also mentioned at the end maybe grabbing St. Louis FA Billy Bajema. He's blocked for both Frank Gore and Steven Jackson. LeSean wouldn't mind the help I think.

  • I think when you talk about starters on offense we're set (assuming we bring back Mathis and DJ) but I think the back up spots are where we are really going to be able to improve. Getting a compliment to Shady, a solid #2 for Vick, another TE to get that threat that NE has, obviously O-Line in case someone gets injured, and possibly a WR (maybe Plaxio for the right price) cause while I like Avant I don't think Cooper has been everything we expected. He's a good WR but we need to start finding guys like the Giants do where no names are making spectacular plays.

  • I dunno.

    In his only 3 starts this year, Cooper averaged 4 catches and 80 yards per game, while leading the team with 19.7 ypc this season. Nothing about his play indicated that he couldn't do it over a 16 game span. And keep in mind, this was with an erratic Vince Young at QB.

    I have a RB and a QB on the Wishlist. Check out those links to scouting reports, based on games not Combines.

  • Looks like Trent Edwards is going to be an Eagle. At least he should be cheaper than Vince Young. I still think they should look to the mid to late rounds to draft a quarterback. Someone who could push Kafka and Edwards for a roster spot.

  • Oh and Edwards better be given another number. Nobody should wear 5 in Philly again.
    by EazyEagleZ   February 23, 2012   Reply   Options  
  • yea he should change it n my guess is he will. but he hasnt been much better than feeley in his career im hoping playing for reid n marty they can make him better like they hhave been able to do with so many QBs since reid has been here

  • I'm not a big fan of this move, but this is the direction they decided to go in.
