This guy thinks the book "Invincible" is better than the movie "Invincible." Probably true, but it doesn't sound like the book would make for a compelling wide release movie. (Eagles Eye)
Is the reason the Eagles organization always under fire simply an image problem? (Eagles Gab)

Hey Jason
I love that value chart for the draft. Can you tell me how to read it. Its chinese to me?
City of Champions!
the chart is showing the value of the picks if coupled together. The bottom two sections with the highlighted points is reference to show you how much the picks are worth. Here is a full value chart (not sure the accuracy.)
So when you follow the picks from both axis you will get the value of that package. 21 and 28 = 1460 or 800 + 660 = 1460. 21 and 53 = 1170 or 800 + 370 = 1170.

Thats correct. I actually thought the new chart made alot more sense. It stil weights the top of the draft much higher than rounds 2 1/2 and on, but the difference between picks in the first round weren’t quite as pronounced.
On the new chart the Eagles could trade 21 and 28 for #2, which makes alot more sense to me.

After looking at this chart, I can see the Eagles trading the #28 + #53 to get to that #17
And drafting the Tackle they like, Michael Oher should be there at that point. We can dump some 6 picks to move up in the forth later. He would just consider that trade of Otah last year as a way of trading up this year and aquiring Laws. I prefer for us to sit tight, but I beleive we trade up for Oher @ 17.

I got it, I know how to read it.
So if we package both #1, that puts us at number 3 or 4 pick, correct?
Wow, could literally have what ever person they want. Thats amazing.
City of Champions!
the thing is the Eagles are smarter then that. It would be irresponsible for us to trade both number 1s to get to the top of this years draft.
If they were to move up they would use 1 of the firsts this year and their first next year. This unbalances the equation because you don’t know what value that will be and we can work that in our favor. Then you trade the other first this year for a first next year and move down the board.
You move up to get the guy you want, and get your first back for the next year.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
yeah, I agree,
I noticed that your value sheet difers from that one I made reference to origionally. Your show us with a maximun value at around the 7 pick, (if we traded both first rounders), the other shows us as about 3.
I know the Eagles like Oher, I hope they stay away and draft to our needs. What would you prefer, Michael Oher, or (Britton and a Safety)? I’ll take Britton and the safety, I hope we sit tight and just draft. To be honest, I am not in love with a Boldin deal at this point, just get a good RB, TE, T, S, that would be good enough. To be honest, Matt Jones (for the pig of a person he is) may be worth a look due to his size. I could care less because he would come off the bench in my opinion.
City of Champions!
Inside the Iggles “Age Matters” article was real good.
Anytime someone proves Florio wrong or to be an idiot I’m a fan so I liked “The Wayne Fontes Experience”
Final thought … that guy in the picture should have thought twice about the whole place kicker/holder tattoo because there is some ambiguity as to what is really going on.
