2010 Eagles Draft Discussion Thread

Isn't Dominique Franks still out there? He would be good value and I'm pretty sure he's a high character guy (don't quote me on that, I could be completely wrong)

Brandon Graham will wear #94 and Nate Allen will wear #29

Franks is a high character guy, but doesn't fit the Eagles defense. He isn't physical, doesn't support the run well, and isn't known to jam WRs.

Reid said Te'o-Nesheim's coach described him as the DT version of Troy Polamalu - quiet and softspoken off field, a beast on it. -Geoff Mosher

That's pretty much how I'd describe him, on the field anyway. Of the games I saw and his highlight films, he flies around, is a beast. (An unrefined beast) He has strength, sometimes doesn't use it as well as he could, and has quickness. He uses leverage well, but not GREAT, he will benefit from learning. I was a little confused by the pick at first, but I like it a good bit.

I wouldn't be surprised if the eagles pick up a veteran or 2 tomorrow as well.

[eaglesfan605]

I really dislike the pick for Daniel Te'o-Nesheim. He is a good prospect, with good upside (sackSEER), but I don't think he will be on the field enough to make a high enough impact. There is a lot of depth at DE now, so it seems like Abiamiri or Parker are going to be to odd men/man out.

Now onto some prospects we could attempt to get tomorrow.

QB - John Skelton, Jarrett Brown, Jevan Snead

HB - LeGarrette Blount, Anthony Dixon, Jonathan Dwyer

WR - Carlton Mitchell, Dezmon Briscoe, Danario Alexander

TE - Dennis Pitta (BYU connection with Reid), Aaron Hernandez, Andrew Quarless, Colin Peek

C - Eric Olsen, Matt Tennant

DT - Cam Thomas, Arthur Jones, Geno Atkins

OLB - Eric Norwood, AJ Edds

CB - Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, Alterraun Verner, Donovan Warren

P - Zoltan Mesko

Literally every quality CB has been picked. Our only hope is Akwasi Owusu-Ansah or Donovan Warren.

Or trade one of the fourths for a 3rd next year (or a fifth for a 4th next year, you get the idea)

+ Zoltan Mesko would result in a flood of Sniper's... fluids...

Reid said that they might try Nate Allen at CB. I hope we just keep him at safety though. I think that, assuming Nate is a serviceable starting FS, we should just move Macho back to CB. Anyone's better than Ellis Hobbs.

I see Harris or Jackson sliding back in to CB, honestly, and will at least push Hobbs, if not take over the starting spot.

Macho was a questionable college CB, I dont think he could last at CB.

Wasn't he an All-American? I think he could be a very good nickleback, don't see him as a starter though.

No, he was a questionable NFL CB, and depending how he is used, I can see him at CB next year, though I honestly think sliding Jackson over would be the better idea.

[eaglesalltheway]

I'm going to bed, I have been sleep deprived over this last week, and need to be up to play football at 8:30 tomorrow morning, so I will hit the hay andwait in anticipation for what will surely be an exciting start to the draft tomorrow.

[colide]

Time for eagles day for day 3 with 9 picks I'm pumped
Time for a wishlist

1 Mardy Gilyard next desean and another play maker and will fill our last hole at wr I don't have a clue why he's still our there
2 Joe McKnight same as marty but could give us explosion in the run game
3 Eric Noorwood he will fill the SLB hole perfectly
4 Aj Edds same as Noorwood
5 Cox from ok state
6 Rashad Jones how's he still there
7 Dorin Dickerson he's explosive
8 Kevin Bapsed he my sleeper
9 Thaddeus Gibson SLB!
10 Akwasi Owusu-Ansah
11 Trindad Holiday
12 Selvish Capers

If the Eagles dont acquire a veteran CB, we will have Hobbs in as our starter. I have a sweet and sour taste to all this.

Nate Allen seems like a great person, just listening to the way he talks, he is articulate, he is happy, he is thankful and he is humble. I'm excited the Eagles are bringing in high character lunch pail players, I was clamoring for these kind of players. I'm not sure if you guys all remember my post about how the Eagles were soft, they're not going to be as soft now with these tough additions. Graham, Allen and DTN are all hard workers. I'm excited.

DTN is weird as hell, this is a quote from his interview, Daniel said he wasn't watching the draft. When asked what he was doing instead he said... "I was laying down looking at the ceiling". What the hell? Hahaha.

[Thumper]

Haha well DTN sure won't be a quote machine, most boring interview I've ever heard.

[frubulubu]

How about the circus the Cowboys will have in Bryant? The guy has character issues, and the way he and his friends and family acted, when he got drafted, was just plainly stupid.

[Bigp5437]

Still unsure what character issues the guy has lol..and I don't remember what happened when he got drafted, somehow I feel like I didn't watch right after the pick

[Thumper]

I think DTN may have been high while being interviewed... Check it out on PE.com

[brat316]

Jackson will end up playing nickleback more now. Even if they draft a corner, you still need someone physical, and Jackson can fit the nickle spot perfectly. With Allen added, it allows Jackson to play both spots.

My man, went from hitting that Cush, to doing a interview. He will fit right in Parker and Patterson.
