RB Picture Becoming Clearer?

It's true I could be reading too much into this or maybe the report isn't 100% accurate. ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that Chris Wells will be visiting several NFL teams in the upcoming weeks. The list of reported teams includes the Broncos, Bengals, Cardinals, Chargers, and Seahawks. Absent from this initial list are our Philadelphia Eagles.
Again the report might not be including all of the visits, but it could it also mean that the Eagles' choice for drafting a RB has been narrowed to Moreno and Donald Brown?
Based on Reid's comments earlier this week that he wants 2 or 3 RBs (if Booker rode the bench last year he isn't one of them) and he needs a back to complement Westbrook I don't see today's report as meaning that the Eagles are shying away from drafting a RB.
Moreno and Brown just fit better in the Eagles' backfield. I could be wrong in my evaluation, but at this point I see Brown and Moreno as more complete backs...each can run, block, and catch out of the backfield.
Sure Wells would be a welcome addition to the Eagles. But I think Wells' true value to the Eagles, as a big, bruising back for those short yards, was diminished greatly by the Weaver signing.
Honestly, the NFL needs to move up the draft to March. There is way too much time for speculation on picks!
