What will the Eagles do in the draft?

This might be the most important draft in the Andy Reid era. The Eagles have a total of 10 picks and 5 of them are in the top 100.  With all of these picks the team is sitting in a pretty good position if they decide to move up for a player that they like. The Eagles need to address the defense side of the ball; needing help at every position. If I was the GM I would be praying that somehow Eric Berry would slip past the Browns at pick number 7  and would then package up picks to try and move up to anywhere from 10-15 and grab either Eric Berry or Earl Thomas whichever one is still on the board . Both of the choices would be instant impact players for this defense that is in need of a few good play makers; my preference would be Berry.  After hopefully picking up Berry or Thomas the team should then try for Carlos Dunlap for their 2nd round choice with the 37th overall pick; Dunlap is a top 10 talent but will end up falling in the draft due to his off the field problems. So how would everyone feel if the Eagles first two draft picks were Eric Berry and Carlos Dunlap?  Feel free to discuss

    i think they stay put or move up a couple spots and pick Maurkice Pouncey. Not only does Andy have a history of taking OL with his first pick but they need help. Especially with a Jackson being a ? for the start of the season. This guy can play both C and G so i wouldnt mind if this happened.

    Maybe the could still steal dunlap in the second. I would also like to see them go after a saftey.

    The only thing left after the Donovan McNabb-Andy Reid era is Andy Reid. The team won’t go all the way with him regardless of who we get. He’s a guy who knows how to be good, but never great.

Got something to say?
