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.
by Whodie126 on Apr 26, 2008 4:23 PM EDT 0 recs
Well Williams and Albert are gone…will Otah hang on til 19?
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 4:47 PM EDT 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 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 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 0 recs
Yeah I’d be okay with Otah. God Detroit is stupid: Cherilus at 17! Give me a break!
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 4:59 PM EDT 0 recs
Why make that trade? Who was going to take him? TB?
by PhillyfanintheBurgh on Apr 26, 2008 5:01 PM EDT 0 recs
Joe Flacco at 18 to Baltimore? Another reach. We can get Otah now.
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 5:02 PM EDT 0 recs
I was out of the house for a few mins… we still have Lito?

Show time!!!
Time to see what the Eagles are going to do.

This is insane they better have gotten a great deal … who the hell do the Panthers even have besides picks
by Whodie126 on Apr 26, 2008 5:11 PM EDT 0 recs
They traded down to get Felix Jones so now McNabb AND BWes can be pissed off. You have to be kidding me.
by PhillyfanintheBurgh on Apr 26, 2008 5:11 PM EDT 0 recs
We get a 2 and a 4 this year and a 1st rounder next year.
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 5:12 PM EDT 0 recs
GREAT TRADE
wow they got a 1 from next year and a 2 and a 4
by PhillyfanintheBurgh on Apr 26, 2008 5:13 PM EDT 0 recs
That's fine
I’m sure we’ll trade them again next year too.
by thwalls on Apr 26, 2008 5:13 PM EDT 0 recs
Ugh
I don’t care if they get two #1s next year. What about this year?
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 5:13 PM EDT 0 recs
that is a good deal-two ones next year-NOW do we trade our next year pic for a premier wr?
by SaxManNate on Apr 26, 2008 5:14 PM EDT 0 recs
i like it
Its worth it because next year should be a good draft year

yeah
I;ve been loving the E-a-g-l-e-s chants too

by 700 Level on Apr 26, 2008 5:15 PM EDT 0 recs
I could’ve sworn they loved Otah. What is going on today?

thats actually a sweet trade just hope we can get some good players in the second rounder

by 700 Level on Apr 26, 2008 5:16 PM EDT 0 recs
I think they loved Albert and then traded down
by PhillyfanintheBurgh on Apr 26, 2008 5:16 PM EDT 0 recs
Brilliant
I love it. Andy and Jeff at their best. 2 and a 4 now and two number ones next year. plus all the wideouts are not off the board. And the safetys are still there…this years draft will be great.
by anuj on Apr 26, 2008 5:16 PM EDT 0 recs
Yeah
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?
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 5:17 PM EDT 0 recs
I have faith...
Usually Reid has our best interests in mind and I’m sure he knows what he’s doing.
by thwalls on Apr 26, 2008 5:17 PM EDT 0 recs
Trades
You know there’s a ton of trades coming for the birds because they have waaaay too many picks
by PhillyfanintheBurgh on Apr 26, 2008 5:18 PM EDT 0 recs
yeah
and we wont be able to keep all of them so we just might trade them off for something

13 now … guess they are making a play to move up in the second. No one has taken Lito off of our hands … good or bad do you guys think?

tonight is gonna be fun
I may need more beer

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.

KEYSHAWNS OUTFIT LOOKS RIDICULOUS

So I have a dilemma: I have tickets to the PIrates Phills tonight but the draft is gonna be nuts AND the flyers are playing. What do you guys think?
by PhillyfanintheBurgh on Apr 26, 2008 5:20 PM EDT 0 recs
quick question
What makes up the fan pick rating? Cuz Otah was an F

by 700 Level on Apr 26, 2008 5:21 PM EDT 0 recs
I think it’s the mock draft ESPN did this past month we rated players and picks for the first round of the draft for each team.

Trade your baseball tickets for a 2nd and 4th round pick :-)

hahaha – i’m thinking i might go to the game and then be that annoying guy that’s constantly checking my phone.
by PhillyfanintheBurgh on Apr 26, 2008 5:22 PM EDT 0 recs
yeah seriosuly...
is there any chance we’ll get a wr that we want ?

by 700 Level on Apr 26, 2008 5:24 PM EDT 0 recs
So by my count this is what we have:
2 second rounders, a third, 2 fourths, a fifth, 4 sixths and a seventh.

lito
Tampa takes Talib. What does that tell us about Lito?
by dave in san mateo on Apr 26, 2008 5:25 PM EDT 0 recs
So we traded DOWN instead of up and we still have Lito. Either everything is wrong or something big is going to happen.
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 5:26 PM EDT 0 recs
and if he does... we have arguably the best secondary in the NFL

by 700 Level on Apr 26, 2008 5:26 PM EDT 0 recs
But Lito is unhappy. I don’t want guys like that in the locker room/
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 5:27 PM EDT 0 recs
he hasn’t really been a problem and maybe they’ll throw more money his way.

ok.... so
which WR do we want?

by 700 Level on Apr 26, 2008 5:28 PM EDT 0 recs
Dude
do you think we’ll trade back into the first round? We could do that without giving up both 2nd rounders.
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 5:28 PM EDT 0 recs
What do you think BDawk’s reaction to Lito whining will be? No way he can split the locker room. He’s no TO
by PhillyfanintheBurgh on Apr 26, 2008 5:28 PM EDT 0 recs
What if DThomas is still available at the end of the first rounder? We could move up to get him.
by ajay on Apr 26, 2008 5:29 PM EDT 0 recs
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 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!
