Time to build our draft board
![]() |
I'm happy to announce that we will be doing the second annual SBN bloggers mock draft starting next Monday. The draft will be two rounds for sure, but could stretch into a 3rd round if time permits.
So what I'd like to do is get the community here to help build our Eagles draft board. In the comments I'd like you to give me your top 5-10 picks you'd like to see the Eagles make in the first round and second round. If you aren't a big draftnik and don't know tons of college players, you can also just give a list of positions you'd like in either round. The idea is that you rank the players in the order you'd like to see them picked if they are still on the board. Remember to be reasonable, obviously Jake Long or Darren McFadden won't be there at #19 so there's really no need to put them on your board.
When we go on clock with the Eagles #19 pick sometime late next week, hopefully we'll have a solid consensus as to who the right guy to take will be. The event will be hosted at our new draft site Mocking the draft. So be sure to check that out in the coming weeks as New Era scouting's draft guru Matt Miller announces all the picks and gives his analysis. Should be fun!

Draft
Jeff Otah - OT
Chris Williams - OT
Liams Sweed - WR
Kenny Phillips - S
Reggie Smith - S
Round 2:
Reggie Smith - S (assuming we take an OT, and Phillips is already gone)
James Hardy - WR (assuming we didn't take a WR in 1st round)
Patrick Lee - CB
Antoine Caison - CB (if we end up trading Lito, we need a CB, if not, this position won't be addressed this high, if at all)
Devin Thomas - WR
Round 3:
Eddie Royal - WR (assuming we haven't gotten one yet)
Thomas DeCloud - S (assuming we haven't gotten one yet)
Brandon Flowers - CB
Justin King - CB
Dustin Keller - TE
I know there's alot of position (sometimes player) overlap there...

Round 2
As for the second round, the best OT available or perhaps DaJuan Morgan. Either that or a WR if we didn't take one yet. I seriously doubt James Hardy will be there by the time our second pick rolls around.

my top 10
if these two receiver are available, i'd like to pick L. Sweed or M. Kelly. Hardy is also interesting but too raw to be a 1st round talent.
if they're all gone, then go the corner route with players like (upon availability once again) Jenkins, Cason or Brandon Flowers
if eagles want to go the O-line route again, Jeff Otah from Pitt seem most realistic at this point.
2nd round:
this one is bit of a reach, but if Jonathan Stewart's stock drops a lot due to his recent surgery and somehow becomes available, the eagles should definitely select him.
also, there are pretty interesting TE prospects available in the 2nd round. Martellus Bennett and John Carlson are intriguing players for the 2nd pick.
if the eagles pick a corner or an OT in the 1st round, eddie royal may be a "need" pick as a top return guy in the 2nd round that may blossom into a good receiver in the pros.
CB and WR positions are two of the stronger positions in this draft so I'd rather see the eagles focus on those positions in the top rounds.
i know we're doing only rounds 1 and 2, but i just wanted to let the eagles' front office (in case they read this) to keep an eye on Tom Zbikowski from Notre Dame with our 3rd round pick if he's available.

draft
I don't know if we could trade but if we can trade up for Gholston. Beyond that here it goes.
- WR Limas Sweed
- S Kenny Phillips
- WR James Hardy
- OT Jeff Otah
- OT best one on the board.

Here Goes
1st Rnd Rankings:
OT Chris Williams
CB Mike Jenkins
OT Jeff Otah
FS Kenny Phillips
WR Malcolm Kelly
2nd Rnd Rankings:
CB/S Reggie Smith
S Dujuan Morgan
WR Early Doucet
OT Anthony Collins
The one thing I really want the Eagles to do in the early rounds is add depth in the secondary -- beyond that, O-Line insurance and a playmaker on the edges would be nice.

1st round wishlist
- Jeff Otah
- DeSean Jackson
- Malcolm Kelly
- Kenny Phillips
Players I DON'T want to see:
- Chris Williams (not sold on him)
- Limas Sweed, James Hardy, Devin Thomas, and any other WR's (to me these guys are all 2nd rounders)
- LB, G, TE or QB

Kelly has injury problems too...
I think Kelley is a more fluid runner. You can really notice how well his hips move and how effortlessly he turns and cuts.
I think Sweed is a more physical player and plays with a bit more attitude. He also strikes me as a guy with more of a knack for the great play.
I'd be cool with either...

Correction...
Suffered a concussion in '06, cartilage damage in knee in '06, required surgery. In '07 suffered hip pointer. Suffered leg contusion in Fiesta Bowl.
