I'll take Knowshon Moreno with the 13th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft!

I think the Eagles will take an OL and a S with their first round picks. 1. Duke Robinson-OG(Oklahoma) and Kam Chancellor(Virginia Tech).

Yeah, they need an OT like Eugene Monroe or Michael Oher. But if they can't grab either of them, they have to go Knowshon (if available) at the 13th spot.

dont you think they will take a tackle instead of a guard though? Since we have guards cole, gilles, andrews, herramans.

Here is how I will execute (follow link at end on how this can be done):

I'm not buying the whole big back, small back stuff. Look at the DeAngelo Williams and Johnathan Stewart situation. Stewart is a bit big, but the bottom line is that he's explosive. Moreno is explosive. Beanie Wells is OK, but Moreno, I think, will be a much better player. Moreno is like Adrian Peterson. He's a game changer. A complete athletic freak. Watch his highlights.

Stewarts a big back, not as big as Jacobs but who is? Give me Shonn Green anyday to take some of the workload off Westbrook. He won't cost a 1st round pick so if it doesnt work out...its no big deal. Oh and Knowshons pretty damn good...but hes no Shady!

First of all we won't be drafting that high. Second Moreno would be a waste of a pick at that slot. We need a physical running back, not another speed and finesse back. We all know we're getting at least ONE lineman. Oher, Monroe, and Andre Smith = no chance in hell (all top 10.) Ciron Black COULD slip to us, but I doubt it. Jason Smith, Robinson and Loadholt all seem much more likely for us. I'd love to see them take a TE, but there are none worth a 1st round pick. Keep in mind we also need a safety, but William Moore would be the only guy available to us (and worth the 1st round pick) available to us. Maybe they'll shock us all and trade both picks to move up...but I doubt it.

How about adding a kicker to your list? akers has been hitting from 40 in but it would be nice to have someone that could at least try a fifty yarder. maybe Colt David, Thomas Weber ot Daniel Lincoln...

I agree we need a tight end that can do some damage blocking. How about Jermaine Gresham, Travis Beckim or Brandon Pettigrew?

Beckum doesn't have the size and Greshams pretty soft. I love Pettigrew though. I didn't mention a kicker because I was talking about the 1st round and we wouldnt see a kicker taken til round 5, if then.

knowing the eagles front office they would draft a kicker in the 1st round.

I think Pettigrew would be the best option at TE.

See my comments below! Moreno is no waste!

yea i love that kid and im predicting Tra Thomas staying, and us getting a RB and a TE, not to mention Dez Bryant (God willing), and if we have that team with McNabb it will be a great season probably the season we were hoping for this season

I highly doubt the G-men will let Jacobs get away.

Why would you invest a high first round pick on a running back? Hasn't the past decade shown over and over again that you can find high value in the 3rd round and beyond with RBs? Their shelf life is usually about 4 years or so. I would rather have a physical specimen to replace Thomas and Runyan on the O line and a scare the bejesus out of you safety to take over for B Dawk with my first rounders and then use a second or third on a running back. Brandon Jacobs was a third rounder, Marion Barber was a 3rd rounder as well.....the list goes on and on (not to mention B West)

All valid point. I'm just saying if the value at OL isn't there, Moreno has to be worth a mid-teen pick. Maybe the Eagles end up at 17. If he's around at 17 and the top 3 OL are off the board, you have to go Moreno.

I could really care less who the Eagles draft in the 1st round as long as they draft someone.

Now that's funny I don't care who you are (as Larry the Cable guy would say).

If you want a running back, look no further than Jersey's own Shonn Green. He should be available in the 3rd round and the dude is just what we need. A hard nosed physical runner who offers a change of pace from Westbrook.

HERE IT IS FOLKS, STRAIGHT FROM THE BOTTOM LINE:
No on Knowshon. Reasons? 1) They guy is running through holes the size of my livingroom. He won't see that in the pros. 2) Show me ONE highlight where he one-on-one runs OVER a guy. Westbrook runs through arm tackles but,we lack a real bruiser (e.g. Bettis, Jacobs, remember Duce Staley?) who can convert 3rd and 3 routinely.

DTRIK19, I'll give you one very good reason not to pass on fast smallish backs: CHRIS JOHNSON! Moreno will be in the same class as Adrian Peterson, Reggie Bush, Cadillac Williams (before getting injured), Warrick Dunn, Marshall Faulk, Brian Westbrook, and LaDainian Tomlinson.

The guy is 207 lbs. That's about 10-15 lbs. less than Adrian Peterson and LaDainian Tomlinson ie at 21-years-old!

This guy is going to be a SPECIAL player. The Eagles thought Hunt would be a pound-it back in the 3rd round and how did that turn out? They can't let this opportunity slip away from them.

Do the Titans regret drafting Chris Johnson? Do the Vikings regret drafting Peterson? Do the Dolphins regret drafting Ronnie Brown? Do the Saints regret drafting Reggie Bush? Do the Chargers regret drafting LT? Do the Bears regret drafting Matt Forte (same weight as Knowshon, but 3" taller)? Do the Cowboys regret drafting Felix Jones? NO!!!!!

DRAFT KNOWSHON IF AVAILABLE!!!!

Well keep your hardon for him...I don't want him in an Eagles jersey. Shonn Green would be a MUCH better fit. I'm not saying Moreno isn't talented because he is...he just wouldnt fit here. and Tony Hunt? haha I said from draft day he wouldn't be anything...he's from Penn State.

The Eagles have too many holes on the O-line to consider a running back in the first round. That running back needs lanes to run through no matter who he is. There's plenty of talented running backs that'll probably be available then. Shon Greene, Rashad Jennings out of Liberty, Javon Ringer(Michigan St) and James Davis(Clemson) to name a few. You have two fossils at tackle and your right guard, which may be the best in the league, is a head case. The other two linemen could be replaced by better players if they become available.....Running back is far from a 1st round priority on this squad.

Javon Ringer may not be alive come draft day. Hes too little to be used as hard as he is, gotta wonder how long he can hold up.

Well we all know what Andy will do he will trade his first pick for a large NY style cheese pizza, and his second first round pick for a platter of buffalo wings. So once again all we are @$$ed out in the draft. Personally I agree Knowshon Moreno will be a good fit in the back field. With their 2nd pick in the first round they should draft one of these two WRs if available Deon Butler or Jordan Shipley. I have been watching Shipley this season and he would be perfect as a #2 to DeSean Jackson or a good slot man, as for a TE the Eagles should send a package deal of Sheppard and Brown to San Fran for Vernon Davis.

Neither Shipley nor Butler are 1st round picks so why waste one on either of them? Butler sucks anyway, he just has the fortune of playing with Williams. That being said why add another 6' or 5'10 WR? Don't we have enough small speedy guys???? That won't help us much in the red zone now will it? Also I'm pretty sure there si no chance in hell of prying V Davis away from SF.

How is Ringer the best RB in college football? Anybody can have great numbers when they carry the ball 30 times a game. All of his big games were against horrible teams (EMU, FAU, ND, IU, Mich.) He did great against Iowa, Ohio State, and Penn State, and Wisconsin didn't he? The career of a running back is shortened with every carry. How long of a career can this guy possibly have???

He's barely averaging 4 yards a carry this year. I believe its 4.3 if my memory serves me correct. This kid is nothing special.

Unfortunately even if the Giants don't re-sign Jacobs he will likely be Franchised and you know this Group at the helm will never pay the going rate for a player as far as picks go. But could you imagine we finally get the big back we have never had. But hey Reid and crew only listen to themselves about WR,FB,TE's and RB's. Hell look how long it took to get above average LB's. FANS do not matter to this organization simple as that.

"FANS do not matter to this organization" Why would you expect the FO of ANY team to listen to it's fan base? Sports fans are such a wide mix of people who varying opinions and every one of them thinks they know best. And I won't even get into the various level of "education" a majority of NFL fans possess. The only thing they should care about is fan attendance and merchandise/food sales. Last time I checked theres a long, long waiting for season tickets, beers are $7 with very long lines and Eagles are one of the top merchandising teams in the league. Its a business, plain and simple. They seemingly gave into the fan's requests a couple of times (T.O and Kearse.) How'd that work out??? So sorry to break it to ya but your opion doesn't matter to them and nor should it.

The fans wanted DeSean Jackson! How did that one work out? I was calling for him in December 2007.
Check the archives of my site: www.allphiladelphiasports.com

haha you honestly believe they drafted Desean because some fans were clamouring for him? Don't kid yourself, they drafted him because Andy liked him. If the Eagles drafted players WE wanted, we would have had Ricky Williams.

Just saying the fans sometimes know what they're talking about. And without the fans yelling "look at DeSean Jackson," he might have been looked over by the Eagles. You just think you know everything, don't you?

The funny thing is the fans are sometimes a bit smarter than some of those owners and coaches all around sports

No thats just what you like to tell yourself. They've done something right to get themselves into that position in most cases (exception --> a Rooney or 2.) If the Eagles were run by half the fans on here...the franchise would cease to exist.

dude i am joking calm down, i know that but i am just making fun of what the coaches decisions are sometimes their play calling is just completely horrible u know what i mean

no, please no Kolb he sucks

please did Ryan or Flacco look good after a week of practice and reps with a first team O, Hell no! Give him a few games. He's going to be a stud

About time somebody sticks up for the guy. He had 1 game against the best defense in the league and because he threw 2 INTs he's automatically a bust. Some peoples expectations are way too high, thinking he'll come in the second half and instantly play like Dan Marino.
