Eagles have one of, if not the best, draft/off-season since 1998. With the free agency additions of Asante Samuel, Chris Clemons, and Rocky Boiman, the Eagles address the defense quickly.
It looks like the franchise is going to keep CBs Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Browb; seems that there will be no trade. With that said, the Eagles probably have the best secondary in the NFL.
The Eagles also added some offensive players in the free agency period, including TE Kris Wilson and FB Dan Klecko who will help at the team's depth. Keeping L.J Smith will help us in the Red Zone, if he can keep healthy.
In the draft the Eagles brought in 10 rookies: DT Trevor Laws, WR DeSean Jacksoin, DE Bryan Smith, OT Mike McGlynn, FS Quinten Demps, CB Jack Ikeguonu, LB Joe Mays, OT Make Gibson, OT King Dunlap, and DE Andrew Studebaker.
DeSean will have an immediate impact on the special teams, and is listed at the third WR at the slot position. DT Trevor Laws I believe is listed at the third DT behind Mike Patterson and Broderick Bunkley. The DEs will help out depth and so will the OTs, hopefully one of them is a diamond in the rough. FS Quintin Demps was most likely drafted because Brian Dawkins is at that point where he's starting to lose some of his skill.
But wait. They aren't the only rookies the Eagles picked up. 10 more rookies were signed to the Eagles, seven of them the day after the draft and three more on May 14. Three WR, a QB, an OT, CB, three LBs, and one FB. The WRs pop out because all of them are six feet or taller. The LBs once again will help our depth and make the LB crew even younger.
short, sweet & to the point, I LOVE bleacher bloggers, speaking of which ;0 !!!
rock it!
