KNOWSHON!!! KNOWSHON!!!! KNOWSHON!!!!!!!

1.Offensive line, in particular OT, specifically LT, but if there is a really good OG we could move one of our current starting guards(most likely Shawn Andrews) out to LT.

2.It is my opinion that we have so many picks in this draft so we can trade up for one of the top LT in this years draft so yes.

3.We would want some one in a Westbrook mold, Knowshon, McCoy, Brown for example, some may want a big back like Wells but I don’t think we would draft him and I’m not sure how well he would do here.

4. Maybe in the Second Rd but probably wont draft and of the border line first rounders in the first round.

OL/RB/TE … in that order … I personally think Pettigrew is a reach in the first but I also really like our current TE Celek.

We need to at least attempt to get a starting tackle lineman if we choose to move one of our current OGs to OT we will need to replace him. The current roster is capable of this but then we lack depth.

We desperately need a top notch RB, Westbrook is amazing but he is often injured and is winding down his career.

WR isn’t a pressing need to use a top pick on but I wouldn’t flinch to see one in the 2nd or 3rd round, especially after we pretty much locked up the safety position.

I think if Knowshon slips we take him at 21 and top OL at 28. If he doesn’t I think we take top OL at 21 and top RB at 28. Lots will disagree saying Andy won’t take a RB in the first but, in all honesty he has never needed to even consider this because of Westy.

I think they’ll take a RB. It would have to be a back that can catch the ball.

So far, I’ve got as targets Knowshon Moreno at #21 and Eben Britton or Williams Beatty at #28. If I can get a top OT at #21 or by trading up somewhat (Oher?), then I’d look at Donald Brown at #28. Does that sound about right?

Any chance the Iggles want him at #21 if he’s there?

Would Philly consider trading up to snag a falling top OT or Crabtree? Maybe package both first rounders to catch Eugene Monroe at #7 or Crabtree at that same spot?

What the heck does complementary back mean? I want a back who can play well in the West Coast system. If you’re a good back, you’re a good back; you compliment the system and team.

1) In no particular order OT/RB/TE/CB. In the very least, we need to replenish our vacancies along the offensive line. We signed Stacy Andrews, but that leaves us an opening, either a starter or for depth. I would look to pick up an OT. Reid drafts OTs, has them play guard to get their feet wet and then can bump them out to tackle. As for a RB, Moreno and Brown are the two I’d be targeting. I’ll address more in my response to your third question. We lost LJ Smith (our fanbase sheds a tear) and I would be surprised if Shoebel is still on the roster after camp. I would look to draft 2 TEs actually, and one of them early. Athough, I would really want a blocking TE, the only one available is Pettigrew and I don’t think he’s worth the 21st pick, and I’m sure the Falcons will scoop him up right after us. Yes, I put CB on the list. When Taylor and Vincent were fixtures in Philly, we drafted Sheppard and Brown to be their replacements. Who here realizes that Brown is now older than Taylor was when we drafted Brown. We have no idea what we have in Jack Ikegwuonu. Sheldon is signed through 2012, but after the 2009 season he can be cut with no cap hit. We should be looking for insurance incase Ikegwuonu doesn’t pan out.

2) I think the talent base in the draft is poorly distributed. You have a small % of players who are clearly head and shoulders above the rest. After that, there’s a fairly substantial drop off to the next tier of player. I think picks 1-5 or 1-8 deserve to go that high, but the next 30 picks are actually all players who deserve to be taken between picks 20 and 35. If someone who should be going in the top 8 falls into the 15-17 range, I’d package the #21 pick and a third round pick to grab them. That’s the only way I trade up in this draft.

3) Westbrook is 30. Can he still be productive? Sure, but I don’t know for how long. At this point, we need to draft his future replacement. I wouldn’t even look at Wells. He’s a poor blocker, can’t pick up the blitz, shows no ambition to learn, is a poor film student, and can’t catch the ball. We need our backs to do those things. Moreno and Brown are the only two that I see that fit what we need.

4) If, by our premium pick, you mean the #21 pick… I doubt it.

I’m not sure how many rounds you’re going here. If it were me, I’d take Moreno at #21. If he’s not availabe, Brown. #28 is going to be a tough one to call. I think the OT is very deep in this draft, and I think we’re looking for depth, so it can be addressed in round 3. I’m assuming Pettigrew is already off the board at this point (if not he is a possibility), and the TE I’m looking at will come next round. This is a spot where I could see a wildcard pick… WR/CB/LB. If Pettigrew is gone, I’d honestly say to take the best available player out of those three positions. I like Chase Coffman out of Missouri @ TE with the #53 pick in the second round. If you hit the third round, best available OT with the #85 pick.

Pick 21. Knowshon

Pick 28. Draft Alex mack,
Slide Jamal Jackson to Lt Guard and Herremens to LT Tackle.
Upgrade at at least 2 positions.
