Just mere hours after getting home last night, I was back on a train early this morning to get back to Radio City Music hall for day 2 of the NFL draft. Today rounds three through seven will be picked and the Eagles have seven selections to make.
Round 3: Pick 85
Round 5: Pick 141
Round 5: Pick 153
Round 5: Pick 157
Round 5: Pick 159
Round 6: Pick 194
Round 7: Pick 230
We'll be analyzing each pick and of course reporting on the goings on here at Radio City. Follow me on twitter for even more draft goodness!
[Note by JasonB, 04/26/09 10:11 AM EDT ] Roger Goodell welcomes us to day 2 of the NFL draft with news of a trade. The Jets are on the clock and choose RB Shonn Greene. Good pick.
[Note by JasonB, 04/26/09 10:28 AM EDT ] Major boos and "Dallas sucks" chants as Roger Goodell announces their first pick in this draft. Goodell couldn't help but smile at all the boos.
[Note by JasonB, 04/26/09 10:31 AM EDT ] There's little doubt that the two most hated teams by the fans here in Radio City are the New England Patriots and the Dallas Cowboys. Both are generally hated by most fans, but in a crowd made up of mostly Jets. Giants, and Eagles fans those two will get it extra bad.
[Note by JasonB, 04/26/09 10:51 AM EDT ] Roger Goodell prevents another chorus of boos for the Dallas pick by having a Marine announce the pick. Well played Goodell. Well played....
[Note by JasonB, 04/26/09 11:10 AM EDT ] It appears like every top TE left on the board will fall to the Eagles in their 3rd round. They should have their pick of 3 or 4 really promising TEs.
[Note by JasonB, 04/26/09 11:12 AM EDT ] EAGLES ON THE CLOCK

How do people feel about yesterday's haul?
For my money – I think the Eagles have some magicians on staff. Good stuff.
Back office to die for
There may be ups and downs, and the odd frustration, but overall the Eagles back office does a cracking job.
Yesterday’s picks & trade moves were smokin!

So far so good. We needed offensive playmakers and we got some.
The more I learn about Maclin, the more excited I get. In two years, this guy broke Larry Fitzgerald’s scoring records. He could be very special.
did the Eagles have him in for a workout?
I recall LeSean McCoy came in, but don’t remember Maclin.
by cavortingEagle on Apr 26, 2009 9:52 AM EDT up reply actions
No, Andy Reid, in his press conference after drafting Maclin, said that he only saw him in the combine but really liked what he saw. They didn’t bring him in because they didn’t expect to be on the board at 21. So by getting him really was a steal. Nice!
by Mitchell Green on Apr 26, 2009 9:55 AM EDT up reply actions
Nope
The only contact they ever had with him was conversation at the combine. They never thought they had a shot at him.
Hopefully their pre-draft assessment was spot on then. A real value pick.

jason...
any insight on the eagles plans in round 3? are they planning on trading up, down, or sticking with the pick?
I don’t think they’ll trade because there’s bound to be a good TE there at the #85 pick. I think it’s possible they use one of those 5ths to jump if there’s a TE they really like.
Otherwise I’d expect them to grab a DB or two…
Any TEs we should pay attention to that will probably still be on the board by the time the Eagles pick at #85? If they can grab a solid TE I will just be so pumped considering the first two picks.

I’d be stoked if they snaffled up James Casey

Wait...
didnt we have 4 5th rounders? theres only three posted on the front page…..did i miss a trade or something?
anyone else think
that this second day espn crew is much better. keyshawn and young were terrible. but now we got jaws, herm edwards, and mort at the table.
plus trey wingo is so underrated.
ugh
steve young sucks. him yesterday as crabtree was celebrating about to be picked by san fran:
“This team is all about defense and running the ball.” What an ass.
I like Steve Young a lot more on gameday than I do in a situation like this. I get the feeling like he hasnt really bothered to learn a lot about these players.
That said, I didn’t get to watch it this year so I don;t know.
Agreed. I def. like Steve Young on gameday.
by Mitchell Green on Apr 26, 2009 10:18 AM EDT up reply actions
I can’t stand Keyshawn. He just sounds like such an idiot . . . I’ll take Jaws, Mort and Trey any day though.
by Mitchell Green on Apr 26, 2009 10:14 AM EDT up reply actions
you know what the difference is
professionalism.
these guys won’t be out-shouting each other, just giving informed thoughts from their areas.
If there is TE on the board that he likes I don’t think he has any other choice does he?
by Mitchell Green on Apr 26, 2009 10:18 AM EDT up reply actions
But...
…what if the Jets call and offer him a lifetime supply of free cheesesteaks? Does he have any other choice THEN?
Hopefully Al Davis Jerry Jones destroys the franchise and in 5 years the bandwagon will be abandoned

While Pettigrew was still there I would have gone in that order as he was such a standout, now CB may come first
NFL Network coverage *vastly* better than espn
Best part? Only talking about picks/players. No “dallas” nonsense
Yes, well, we here in IND are about to lose it anyway
Thanks to Comcast taking over out here, this is the last I get to see it—unless I go satellite.
So, I’m enjoying it while it lasts…
Yea i still go back and forth but NFL network is def better
looking go for a nice TE to fall to us

Keyshawn sucks...
…but can you imagine Emmitt Smith or Michael Irvin doing this ESPN broadcast? I’d honestly kill myself.
do you guys think the eagles are the preseason favorites to win the east? i would say with the failures of the giants and the cowboys to get a big name receiver, we should be the favorites.
Giants did lose a big part of their running attack and their whole vertical game, unless they get big-time production from Nicks or Britt in their rookie seasons
They get Osi back, which can only be considered a boon, but I feel wonderful about our team in comparison to them.
Yeah we have to be… but you know espn will not be saying that

Skins will garner a LOT of "potent D" talk
…with requisite “D wins championships” chatter. So for media, no, Birds won’t be faves. As for real talent? I want to see minicamp first.
Pettigrew is the...
Pettigrew is hte only TE taken so far in the draft whereas there have been like 6 or so WR — that in itself suggests the Eagles made the right move getting Maclin — The TE depth is still about the same whereas WR depth has gone done a bit I am sure
Still some decent RBs out there — anyone think the Eagles should grab another one — I do! haha, it may mess with someone’s psyche, but honestly, all the guys can run well enough uually it is just that some guys fumble — and that is hard to know whether a guy will fumble in the Pro level or not
not an important position for most teams
i could see the eagles thinking their guy would drop to another round
yeah but
“there’s a glut of talent in the fifth”
otherwise why would we have so many picks? right? it couldn’t be just because of a fetish for 5th round picks? right?
Actually....
Think about it:
2005: Trent Cole
2006: Omar Gaither
2007: Brent Celek
We’ve done very, very well in the fifth round.
also --
also there is osmething to be said about 5th rounder guys just being good and doing their jobs — I think a lot of the first round busts fail because of the hype and the crazy amounts of money they get — I would have a hard time keeping my head in the game if I had 30 million guaranteed etc.
how many 5th rounders do you think the eagles actually take?
i’d guess 2, but that may be too agressive
I feel sorry for the Raiders
Hopefully those guys turn out okay, but look at this from the Silver and Black blog:
“As much as Al likes to trip the light fantastic, I believe that this draft may be the worst of All-Time. Heyward-Bey and Mr. Mitchell may prove me wrong, but this has GOT to be the Worst draft in NFL History.”
Which teams ahead of the Eagles need a TE now? How many of the choices will be left?

Would they pick Gates’ backup in the 3rd?
by cavortingEagle on Apr 26, 2009 10:44 AM EDT up reply actions
Not a bad choice
Gates was iffy with injuries this year; not a bad idea to groom a potential starter given that fact
I hate Dallas
But they had a good draft last year: Jenkins, Jones, Choice, Bennett…a lot of talent there.
I think...
There won’t be a TE drafted before we pick at 21

He *owned* McShay during wrap-up last night
“That’s not an answer to the question.That’s just more mock drafting. What’s the answer to the question I asked?”
Scouting report in him?
It highlights his GPA and “overall intelligence”. After that, it gets to some vague football-related analysis.
I said it above
This is the guy who moved up to take Q Carter—Rounds before teams had him ranked. JJ isn’t a GM. He just plays one on tv.
anyone else
want the espn sound of draft pick made to acompany your life every time something happens? that little jingling sound is great. where’d it come from?
It’s starting to look like we might get the pick of the litter – perhaps a deal with tampa – move up a couple picks…?
by cavortingEagle on Apr 26, 2009 10:55 AM EDT up reply actions
I trust Tommy Lawlor a lot
And he mentioned that Nelson is not a product. We drafted Maclin and McCoy, both of whom are 20. They could be instant contributors, but they’re really young. Nelson is a senior and should be ready to go immediately.
If the Birds don't take one of the higher-ranked TE's here
I’ll be okay with it. Just so long as they get that kid from Rice at worst.
Wow
49ers go WR and RB with their first two picks. Do they not know they led the NFL in sacks allowed last year?
Alternatively
they really can’t stand either Hill or Smith and want them to get Killed
by cavortingEagle on Apr 26, 2009 11:00 AM EDT up reply actions
A good guard.
Talent, strength, and fits their system. (With scat backs, they don’t really need a drive blocker, just an occupying obstruction.)
Their offense is bad
"Someone created the box score," Morey says, "and he should be shot."
Blocked shots — they look great, but unless you secure the ball afterward, you haven’t helped your team all that much.
by jemagee on Apr 26, 2009 11:58 AM EDT up reply actions
Wow. A bit high, but he could be a real player.
Kinda sucks, since he’s stuck in the city where football dies
That was the pick Dallas gave up to get Roy Williams
Let’s hope Derrick Williams turn out to be dominant.
I'll just put this out there...
It’s entirely possible that all the stud TE’s are available, and the Eagles take a complete head scratcher.
B'c I'm an Eagles fan. We've seen it before. Almost every year.
Plus, naming the devil takes away his power. I hope…
We hope. We hope. We hope.
This can NOT be one of those Andy Reid “smartest guy in the room” moments
just like RB
they have an open spot, which is rare for them. they have to draft someone, doesn’t have to be here, but it makes sense.
Hurm. Quietly great pick
Just watch. I saw some of this kid’s games. He will turn into another “NE drafts so well” picks.
And a CB. And some backup O Line.
After this offseason, they’re not as fat and happy as some other SB winners
thing about Tes though
TEs all look about the same — similar to running backs after Kownon — it seems like weird stuff like character, passion, and work ethic are going to determine who will end up being the best TE from these guys so it makes sense to be reluctant to pick one here
GREAT line from Mosley
“The Cowboys are currently having a great fifth round. Only problem is we’re still in the third.”
i am watching….howd you see that already??
by GreenInBaltimore on Apr 26, 2009 11:20 AM EDT up reply actions
to the giants…?
we must be working on some kind of player trade. do we really need more picks?? no way….something is up
by GreenInBaltimore on Apr 26, 2009 11:21 AM EDT reply actions
so now we have 5 fifth rounders
we going for a record?
TE's
Giants must know who they want, while the Birds are undecided, that’s if they’re going TE in this round
Yeah, it's a size WR
Great. Eagles just gave the Giants a guy who can eat peanuts off their DB’s heads. Again.
Doesn't have to be
The Giants know how to call and run the “fade pattern” in the red zone. He just needs to get into the endzone and jump. Oh, and he has the size advantage on every Birds DB
4 WR's in a row (in the third)
will Minn make it 5?
he could be a 6"6" kicker and the analysts would compare him to Plax if the giants drafted him
by GreenInBaltimore on Apr 26, 2009 11:26 AM EDT reply actions
4th round
Maybe they trade up and grab a DE or CB?
i say we take every remaining TE and have a tryout to ensure we get the guy. lol

too many 5th rounders
maybe they can trade 1 or 2 of them for a 3rd rounder next year. or 1 for a 4th
11 CBs off the board,10 DEs

gotta think
the eagles could jump up at any point in the late 3rd or early 4th with all of their 5th rounders
NFL network just said they're
working on “giving the Raiders draft some love” after the break. How long a break are they taking?

by IgglesFanDeployd on Apr 26, 2009 11:37 AM EDT reply actions
Assuming the player the Eagles are targeting hasn’t come off the board between 85 and 91, that means we basically got a free 5th rounder to pick the same guy we were going to get anyway.

watch the Birds either
not go TE or trade back again
TE
well the Eagles can just take Nelson if they wanted (I think that is his name) and they got a 5th rounder out of it - that wouldnt be so bad -
after all — so much of the draft has toss up guys and so going first is really a waste
let's go for 6...

As soon as a guy they want is about to be taken, they will trade back up in front to get him,.

Here's some consolation
If the Lito situation works out perfectly, we’ll have a 1st, two 2nds and two 3rds next year…
With the Entire Fifth Round in the 2009 NFL Draft
The Eagles take BYU’s seniors and eligible juniors.
But if we play our cards right...
…we can deal those picks for 30 picks in 2011!
Eagles will not draft another player until 2025 when they own every pick in the draft.
Deon Butler ran a 4.31
why didn’t Oakland take him instead of Heyward-Bey

if they really wanted cook
they’d have taken him there

Tenn. just took another
It apparent that the Eagles FO are not fond of the TEs in this draft
and neither is the rest of the league. 2 TEs taken in 3 rounds.
think were trying to catch dallas in draft picks
they have twelve 2nd day
The Eagles like to think they're smarter than everyone else
they think that with enough draft picks they’ll find diamonds in the rough that only the Gold Standard can spot.
(Although judging from their record under Reid—and the Patriots’ similar strategy—I can’t really criticize them for this approach)

Cosby
So what do you guys think of quan cosby???
Per Matt Mosley
“I don’t think Hobbs really emerged like the Pats thought he might after Samuel signed with the Eagles in free agency. He was a better player when he had Samuel back there next to him. I’m not sure what the mental impact on him was after giving up the game-winning TD in Super Bowl XLII. But the Pats are ready to move on without him. And the Eagles had six fifth-rounders. They could afford to use a couple of them on a solid player like Hobbs, who’s coming off a down season.”
Let's face it
We were going to draft a CB anyways. Hobbs is probably a better shot than anyone we could’ve drafted.

Colts take Terrence Taylor DT MIchigan
Thank you Jon Gruden
“I think Mayock likes everything the Patriots do. They trade down three spots and he gets excited”

Hope he’s not taken before the eagles 153rd pick……………
Ingram is Mike Mayocks #2 overall tight end. I don’t know about you guys but I like Mayock a lot better than Kiper and Mcshay.
It's amazing that we had 10 picks going into the draft
And here we are in Round 5 and we’ve only drafted two players…
We have added 4 players though..
Maclin, McCoy, Peters, and Hobbs
I like that

and still have 6 picks left
can’t imagine they don’t trade one or two for next year.
That is pretty crazy, but yeah we did get Hobbs, and since we’re only going to have some many rosters spots, the 3rd next year is nice.
Maybe this speaks to how they feel about some of those redshirt type guys from last year.
hopefully
it looks like they’re going depth, with the hobbs trade & trading down for future picks

What else could they do with them
We dont need to fill up many other positions.
Yea i guess ur right
But i mean people that will actually get playing time.
WR not so much
We have a great wide receiving corps especially with the addition of maclin.
Have to be a little annoyed...
…that we didn’t select in the third or fourth round. You can’t tell me the Eagles didn’t want ONE of those 64 players.
Reid's had a good offseason so far
so i im gonna assume he knows what he’s doing…
yeah
can’t find for what, i think future draft picks
by sports00fan00 on Apr 26, 2009 2:18 PM EDT up reply actions
we have 4
153, 157, 159, & 164
TE, S, Trade Down, don’t we have Chris Clemons? (That’d be weird)
Casey or Ingram, Duke Robinson? & maybe a QB

Reggie
Is it getting the point where we just release him instead of trading him?
bust
the Eagles expected to much out of him
by sports00fan00 on Apr 26, 2009 2:24 PM EDT up reply actions
They-We
Expected him to be better than he is….
How many trades have there been?
is this a record?
And 4 hours later....
only two more picks!!
by Iggles Fan 4 Life on Apr 26, 2009 2:45 PM EDT reply actions
They better not trade the next pick
I am gonna kill andy if he trades the next pick!!!!!!!!
Well we traded to the Giants
so i guess anything is possible
Giants take a Qb
Rhett Bomar from Sam Houston, previously Oklahoma i believe
Rhett Bomar? He’s the dude who got booted from Oklahoma?

Blocked shots — they look great, but unless you secure the ball afterward, you haven’t helped your team all that much.

Ingram or Scheffler? Would you be mad if we got either one?
Houston takes Casey
Ingram is still available

you just want him
so we’ll have two on the roster
how do u know they just got on the clock
according to draft cast
now who should we take at 159 & 164
Duke Robinson?
That or i would trade for more picks next year
I’d rather take Robinson than trade for next year
ESPN
Ingram brings excellent athleticism and fluidity. He’s a smooth route-runner who can be a mismatch when lined up against most Sam linebackers. He needs major improvement as a run-blocker.

4 picks away
think we go Robinson, DE, or something else
we have a bunch
Demps, Jones, Baker, Harris, Mikell is a solid S corps
How many kick/punt returners do the Eagles need?
By my count we’ve got DJax, Demps, Maclin, Hobbs, and Macho (and 36 West to fill in if all five of those guys get hurt). I guess Reid REALLY regrets his decision to let Michael Lewis return those kicks and punts against Green Bay a couple years ago.
Who do you think
McCoy or Booker as second string
And what about Maclin
5th
we got their 5th next year and 13th pick in the 7th this year…

Spadaro tried to call Cornelius Ingram and got the wrong number. Some confused woman picked up.

Also didn't give up any homers
I think that’s the first time all year.
i was wrong celtics still have a chance
if allen or eddie house can score a 3
Draft-Offseason Grade
so overall how would everyone draft the offseason/draft
i give an A for both
6th round
Nate Davis goes to SF
Cowgirls take a Kicker
Titans take a RB
Wingo: "Did you try to get Boldin?"
Andy: “We inquired.”
Wingo: “So the asking price was too steep or what?”
Andy: “Well…we inquired.”
they like Booker, i'm not familar with Jennings

Brandon Gibson is a fantastic athlete that really understands how to use his talent on the football field. As a wide receiver he can make the tough catches over the middle, times the ball well for jump balls, and can take the short routes making a move for a long gain all along showing superb hands. He is not a burner but his acceleration is very quick and he is smooth in running allowing him to keep his full speed going through arm tackles.
one is the loneliest number
not the only one, but ur def. postin the most….

Not to sound like too much of a homer
But every one of these interviews with our guys are fantastic – they’re all extremely well-spoken, smart, not arrogant, etc.
Agree..

Teams left to pick before 213
Indianapolis – QB Painter
Carolina
Tennessee
Arizona
Pittsburgh
Tennessee
New England
Dallas
Cincinnati
Atlanta
St. Louis
Kansas City
Cinci is the only team i think who'd take a rb, maybe KC
by sports00fan00 on Apr 26, 2009 5:13 PM EDT up reply actions
It could really be anyone
Even teams stocked with RBs might take a flyer on a guy like Jennings. He was a potential 2nd-round pick!
hahahaha
I love Chris McPherson
CM: “Why is Jennings on the board?”
Scout.com guy: “I don’t know. Maybe it’s the Liberty thing. Maybe it’s an injury?”
CM: “Or…is he a dummy?”
Alright I'm back.
Eagles really got it done in my absence. The only move I didn’t like was drafting the possession receiver in Gibson. I’m only fine with the Toupu pick if he can replace Winston Justice.
Love Macho. Love Hobbs. Love Ingram. Andy and Tom are earning their paychecks! I just want an OLB now.
Taking Chiefs a while to pick...
… hopefully not working out a trade so someone can snatch Jennings.
come on Rashad Jenning's!!!!
he’s def worth a 7th 222 or 230?
i'm wouldn't be surprised if it was himself
this is getting ridiculous, someone has to put him out of his misery

Jennings
Height: 6’1"
Weight: 231 lbs
Overall Rank: 116
Position Rank: 12
19 rb’s taken already
nah
if he did something wrong mkshay wouldnt have had him at the top of the best RB’s left..

Seriously guys
The banner at the top should say: “Bleeding Green Nation: We specialize in late-round draft picks”
They're lauding our offseason on NFLN
Mayock: Without question, the best offseason in the NFC East and one of the best in the league.
Gruden was fawning over our MONSTROUS offensive line and backfield (Westy/McCoy/Weaver).
I've been watching Macho Harris highlights
This guy looks like a stud. I heard he had a 2nd round grade from some scouts.
Prediction
Tom Heckert: “Rashad Jennings is on the board…”
Andy Reid: “Yeah, but that would make the local media happy.”
Tom Heckert: “Yeah, you’re right. There are still some good corners available…”
all the CB's are gone
they’re flying off the shelf
by sports00fan00 on Apr 26, 2009 6:20 PM EDT up reply actions
So with our last pick
Rashad Jenning’s, QB, K, LB?
Let's trade our 7th next year to KC & get Jenning's
as Mr. Irrelevent
d.j. boldin...
anyone draft Q’s brother??
