What will Eagles do?

Now im no GM, nor do I play one on the internet, unless it’s fanatasy sports but I want a few things from my favortie sports team in all the land.  I’m not objective when it comes to the draft I am a true blue Eagles fan and my wings sprout this time of year.  Just to give you a little back round I was the guy who made 17 trade in 8 weeks in fantasy football.  So I am a little insane.  A few of the things on my “resonable” wish list are Eric Berry, Maurice Pouncey, Jason Pierre Paul, Earl Thomas, Derrick Morgan, and last but not least Rolando McClain.  That’s just my first round.  In all seriousness I would love to trade up and get Berry, but I wont get my hopes up because it will cost a lot to move up that far.  I am fine with Earl Thomas though.  Maurice Pouncey would be a great pick as well.  In a draft when Olineman are a little scarce, maybe it’s the direction to go.  Unfortunatly Rolando McClain probably wont be pick by the Birds.  Seeing how they just traded for Ernie Sims.  I am exstatic that the Birds got Sims for a 5th Round pick.  I love Jason Pierre Paul.  Everyone is saying he played at a small school, but he has a motor and speed like a CB.  Also there was the guy the Eagles had play DE from a small school with a crazy motor and he was pretty good.  Eh hem Hugh Douglass eh hem.  Plus it’s not like South Florida doesn’t play good schools.

Let me just say Tyson Alualu I want you in Philly.  This kid looks like a beast.  Having watched a ton of Pac-10 games.  You know late at night or just when I should have been doing work around the house and I wasn’t.  I have seen him play a few times and thought “I wouldn’t want to have to block that guy”.  This should be a defense heavy draft, but dont count out Andy’s need for Oline and his love of drafting players who where hurt or have questions but tremendous talent.  Maybe Jermaine Gresham, or do they countinue the spin that Cornelius Ingram is just like another draft pick this year.  Getting Ernie Sims is like a second first round pick this year.  I still think another LB is necessary.  As well as CB, S, and DE.  Also the Birds need Oline help.  We will see what happens tomorow night, and I have a strong feeling that Andy will trade up in the first round maybe twice early and late.

On a seperate note, I am sickened by McNabb’s politicing for TO.  Mcnabb let this man and the fued destroy the team for a year.  I loved TO and wanted McNabb to go and not him but for Mcnabb to come and make a plea for him angers me to no avail.  Maybe they will get him and TO will cry for McNabb, that’s my teammate, that my Quaterback.  I know I come across as a angry Philly fan, but this isn’t the norm.  This is McNabb playing his cute little games to take shots at the Philadelphia sports nation.  Lastly I cant wait to see how the Washington fans react to 3 and 8 when Donny throws it 5 yards and the punt team runs on.  Or 3rd and 3 and he throws it at the feet of one the three running backs on Mike Shanahan’s revamped team.
