If staley sucks Reid can still say he wasn't his worst first round pick.

That's why I'm a bit skeptical of Dorsey. It's fine if he's just saying shit like, "You take the best player at the top of your board no matter what" to make it sound like he's not just throwing poo chunks at a dartboard. But if strict BPA really is all he does, that's almost as bad as Pioli's "can never go wrong drafting team captains and try hard nobodies."
BPA has been used to justify some of the most idiotic draft picks in history. When it works, it works. But when it doesn't work, it's pretty terrible. |

Both Matthews and Lewan look like near elite level picks. If Fisher is actually able to play at the NFL level, we could trade both Albert and Stephenson, who, as stated by most people here, should be playing guard or who suck, respectively, and have two first round, top ten offensive tackles on this team. Think about the awesome that would be. We'd be only two guards and a center away from building the perfect line. |

Not sure if serious.
Yes our DL may suck but we have been spending our first round picks on them so ****ing bull shit if we spend another top pick on DL next year and neglect the quarterback yet another season.

It's kind of cruel that the weakest unit on our team is the defensive line, and it's the unit that has been flooded with first-round picks for years.

CP is unbelievable sometimes. 1) Reid did not pick Watkins, his personnel guys did; 2) 23 is a little high for a Guard, but it's not ridiculous; 3) He was drafted in a draft with pretty poor talent at that spot. You'll recall that we took Jonathan Baldwin and most of us couldn't really think of who better was out there.

Our defense was close to being elite if we stayed in a 4-3 until Pioli force-fitted his system in. It's absolutely crazy to think about how things would be different if we fired Gunther and Peterson didn't idiotically chase Jared Allen away. We could have had Allen-Dorsey-Raji-Hali or with the Allen trade Orakpo-Dorsey-Tank Bailey-Hali. |

Anybody who knows Philly knows that Joe Banner was calling all the shots, that he was pissing a lot of people off, and that he and Andy Reid were definitely not on the same page. You'll also note that the Eagles went from a great drafting team to holding shitty drafts starting in 2011 once Howie Roseman came on board (probably to be a lackey for Banner).
Blaming this draft on Reid is just plain ig'nant. There's been a lot of smoke that Reid was not happy at where the front office was taking his roster the past few years. |

Hopefully we can set up a trade scenario each offseason leading up to the draft whereby we can constantly use our round one pick to keep fresh fatties coming on both sides of the ball.

Awesome just ****ing awesome...
When the Philadelphia Eagles burned their first-round draft pick on Danny Watkins two Aprils ago, he was projected to slide in at right guard and stick there deep into the future. After making 12 uneven starts as a rookie in 2011, Watkins eventually was benched last season and now looms as a potential cut, according to Vaughn Johnson of Philly.com

Guys, if you're going to take a chance high, it really, REALLY needs to be a lineman. Those positions define eras and are the key factor in post season success.

Spending a first round pick on a 27 year old guard isn't rediculous?
WTF? What could be worse than that? |
