Now it’s time to talk about what I want Andy Reid, Howie Roseman and the Eagles to do in this draft. In other words, the following is going to be about what I think they should do rather than what they will do.
Hopefully, what they should do and what they will do will coincide with each other…at least to some extent.

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Florida Running Back Chris Rainey

The Philadelphia Eagles’ Course Correction May Yield Huge Results
Last year was supposed to be the year for the Philadelphia Eagles. You had to feel good about it.

The Philadelphia Eagles are in a different position than they have ever really been in under Andy Reid. The team is coming off a failure of a season, but interestingly they don’t exactly have many needs to fill and possess a wealth of talent.
Even more interesting, that talent is spread around on both sides of the ball.
The Eagles have a good offensive...
