And so it begins, the biggest day of the NFL offseason the 2008 NFL Draft. I'm at the Eagles draft party at the Linc where I'll be taking lots of pictures and video that I will be sharing when I get back.
Until then, use this as your open thread to discuss all picks/trades/anything. Later on I'll have full scouting reports and analysis on whoever the Eagles bring in.

the Rams took
Chris Long. what happened to dorsey i thought they wanted him, or they were going to try to swap with the falcons so the falcons could take him. i gues it was a ploy to posibly get more picks

Bills
First pick that affects the Eagles coming up

McKelvin
Good for the Eagles. WRs drop, and CB becomes more of a commodity.

surprise at how fast this is moving … good thing cause the Flyers are on tonight.

OTAH
Take Otah and trade up for Sweed.

Well Williams and Albert are gone…will Otah hang on til 19?
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 4:47 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
no WR are taken yet...
we could probably get one of the top ones in the second it looks like…
by eagleyosh on Apr 26, 2008 4:49 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Well I don’t think we’re moving up at this point. Maybe WR? Devin Thomas!
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 4:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
No WR
If they can get Otah and then trade up later to get a good WR this will be an outstanding first day.
by PhillyfanintheBurgh on Apr 26, 2008 4:55 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah I’d be okay with Otah. God Detroit is stupid: Cherilus at 17! Give me a break!

Detroit
A reach for Detroit taking Gosder Cherilus.

No doubt we got GREAT value for the pick. We’ve got the 43 and 49 pick in the 2nd round now apparently. Who do we pick?

too many picks/something wrong with Otah
This seemed like a year that they needed fewer, better picks. We’ll see how it shakes out. Maybe something’s wrong with Otah. Both Detroit and Houston passed could had OT as a position of need and passed on him, too.

pretty sweet draft this year … a lot better than last year. It’s possible the birds are stock piling picks to sweeten a deal for one of the recievers … would have to be Roy or Anquan Cincy won’t trade chad until after June 1st
by Whodie126 on Apr 26, 2008 5:30 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Why June 1st? They can trade him now and designate it post-June 1st. However they don’t need – the Bengals would love to count money already spent against the cap this year – saves them a ton!

Nobody wants these wideouts. Chris Johnson is good, but if I were Vince Young I’d be pissed. The cowgirls might get a WR here, too. I hope they take Malcolm Kelly.

Jackson from Cal would give the eagles a KR (sorry Mahe) and a good WR. I personally would like to see Limas Sweed. Good hands and Plax size

Lots of options with Lito and two 1sts next year. He could return kicks for us, he’s played it pretty straight. If we keep him we probably do some kind of incentive deal based on games active or something.

Personally I don’t think Jackson is who we want and Malcolm Kelly scares me a little. Hardy’s character issues make me nervous and Sweed’s durability scares me. I don’t know what I want.

by 700 Level on Apr 26, 2008 6:56 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I think so
We’d have four RBs going into camp. I think they would bump Buckhalter if they needed to.

does anyone know anything about booker? what type of player is he?
by SilkPhantom on Apr 26, 2008 7:01 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
On the Inquirer they are saying he’s a classic West Coast Offense RB. He’s a good receiver. He apparently won’t fit into Miami’s new offense.
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 7:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
WRs
I can’t believe Sweed, Jackson, Hardy, Kelly and Doucet are ALL still on the board!
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 7:01 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I’m predicting a WR and a Safety with our two picks. You heard it here first. If that doesn’t happen, you didn’t hear it from me.
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 7:05 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Lito?
If he doesn’t go soon I think he stays.

never really like Spadaro he was a prick to people that called in during the Asante signing and Clemons signing. I think the Eagles pay him to give crazy false information.

ummmm, i am now starting to beleive that there is something BIG in the works for after the draft. There must be…right? i mean Big Red is clearly sitting in the back room with that little “i know something you don’t know” smirk on his face. Because he LOVES torturing the fans and media with slight of hand.
Either that or nothing happens and he thinks sweed lasts to our next pick and then scarfs down a bucket of KFC is sadness when sweed gets picked

we should trade our entire draft to the dalphins for Ricky Williams

This just in....
The Eagles were looking to move entirely out of the 2008 draft, because Andy Reid was hungry and wanted to go home. Unfortunately, the other teams ran out of 2009 picks to trade them.
