Eagles Draft

i agree with u regarding the wr

If he becomes a Wes Welker type player in the slot I'll be happy with the selection. The guy is a pure speed burner and has probably the best moves in the open field. Slats/bubble screen/go route/comebacks are what he is going to excel at. A lot of ppl are comparing his upside to Carolinas Steve Smith (I actually posted this video before the draft):

and I don't think any of us would disagree that Steve Smith is a #1 receiver in the NFL. He has a lot of the same attributes when it comes to height (a little taller than Steve), quickness, trash talker, aggressiveness and exceptional hands. He has been making a conscious effort in gaining weight (up to 175 from 169lbs) so that is a good thing. Come training camp I figure him to be about 180-182 sopping wet. His punt returning skills are top notch and he could very well be the next Dante Hall (I refuse to make Devin Hester comparisons since it would be like comparing a top WR rookie wideout to Jerry Rice). So if he adds up to the "playmaker" he is thought to be, we all will be very happy to have him on our team (yet I'm still smashing my computer desk about us not drafting Limas Sweed haha). Overall I think the birds did a great job in finding good "football players" and time will tell how good of a draft we had.
