Preparing for Disappointment...

Heres my gut feeling on how things will go in this draft...be prepared BGN...it could get ugly. 

 

Knowshon will be drafted before spot 21.....

Eagles will not Draft Pettigrew(not that I am psyched about him anyway)

Eagles have an opportunity at 21 to draft Donald Brown at 21 but dont think hes worth it so they  trade down to the 2nd round to save some money and get an extra 3rd rounder... 

By the time they are ready to pick in the 2nd round another team already takes brown. 

Lesean Mccoy is their pick.  

Andy Reid: "we always thought Lesean was the top back in the draft"

Between 2nd and 3rd round...Boldin gets traded to the Ravens for a 2nd round pick and todd heap. Eagles were reported to be right there but didnt want to give up a 2nd. They offered a 3rd and a 2nd in 2012...

Banner on Satellite: "We thought we made a fair offer for Boldin...."

 

Between the 3rd and 4th rounds Braylon edwards signs wiht the giants for a 2nd round pick. Eagles were reported to have offered a 3rd rounder.  

Andy Reid: "There was some interest in Braylon but when Patrick Turner from USC slipped to the 4th round we knew he could give us the same type of big target as Braylon"

 

Between the 4th and 5th round Chad Johnson goes to the titans for a 4th rounder. 

Eagles were reported to have offered two 5th round picks but again fall short. 

Andy Reid: "We had some interest in Chad...hes a pro bowl wideout and that doesnt fit with what we like to do here, we enjoy having 5 number two receivers"

 

The Eagles at the end of day one and day two  wind up drafting one of the Tight ends that cant block to save his life and a bunch of largely unheard of safeties/corners and defensive lineman. and another unheard of  Wideout for good measure that will never make it onto the field.
