Around SBN: Pacquiao vs Bradley: Potential Undercard Fighters

I think, as I examine the Jason Peters deal -- first-, fourth- and sixth-round picks, with the first-rounder the 28th pick in Saturday's draft -- I think the Eagles got the major edge. "Other than Anthony Munoz, this is the most devastating blocker and pass-protector I've ever coached,'' said the retired and well-respected former NFL line coach Jim McNally, who mentored Peters from being a college tight end to one of the premier tackles in the game. "He's a terrific player and a good kid. What happened to him in Buffalo, I think, is he saw two linemen come in and make a lot of money [Derrick Dockery, Langston Walker], and he looked at them and said, 'I'm better than they are; why aren't I making that money?' And it really affected him. I think he'll be a dominating player in Philadelphia, and I don't think the money will affect him.'' We'll see.

Yeah I read this...

…and in typical Peter King contradictory fashion, he also seemed to pan Reid’s statement that Peters is the best LT in football. He’s hedging his bets no matter what happens.

That's a pretty strong endorsement ...

… from the line coach, and those guys are not often the type to BS.

I saw a lot of Eagle-haters throwing the money argument out there, but if you think like a normal person for a moment, you perform better at work when you feel wanted, you are given important tasks to complete and your boss lets you know that your contributions are appreciated. I actually think locking this guy up long-term, even to a hefty contract, might have been the smartest thing they could have done.

With Juan Castillo and Reid working with this guy, the sky’s the limit, is it not?

Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
