Who will have the biggest impact

The title says it all. Who is your vote

Will it be the speedy Jeremy Maclin? Helping in either the return game or the pass game or even both. Perhaps the heir apparent to Brian Westbrook LeSean "Shady" McCoy finally giving the Eagles a back that can match Westbrook production when spelling him? May be even Cornelious Ingram? Will this super athletic tight end finally give us the one-two punch with Brent Celeck that we have been craving. Posiably even Victor "Macho" Harris? Can this physical deffensive back mannage to contribute in a very deep secondray at either the corner of saftey spots or even on special teams. Could it posiably even be one of the HUGH Samoan offensive lineman? Can they push there way into a back up position and help in the chance of an injury? What about Brandon Gibson? Andy Reid even said "He was one of the better rout runners in the draft." Could it posiably be our last pick? Can Moises Fokou push his way into a back up spot in this linebacking corps. and some how win the WILL linebacker position that seems to be a some what open competition at?

Ingram

Just because he is gonna make plays in the red zone.

ingram

he creates mis matches and can split out wide … weve never had a TE of his ability

I agree

Tight End was our biggest offensive need. McCoy will see limited time behind Westy, Maclin has a good chance to make an immediate impact, but I’m not crossing my fingers and expecting another rookie performance like DJax last year. I expect to see a lot of Ingram that’s why he got my vote.

I voted McCoy. I have a feeling Westbrook is going to miss significant playing time, moreso than in the past.

I voted for him too

not because I think Bwest will be injured but because I think he can be westbrook esque and will play a lot this year

voted for McCoy for the same reason. He has the most realistic chances of starting this season if Westbrook gets injured.

maclin works his way on the field

and benefits from djax and curtis lined up along side him

Voted for Ingram

Maclin and McCoy will be contribute I think, but McCoy is going to be supporting Westbrook and Maclin is going to be just getting his bearings with Jackson, Curtis and Avant -

Ingram on the other hand, may totally bring back TE to the offense, maybe even help with some run blocking

If Ingram is completely healthy, he could got lots of time on the field to be the biggest impact rookie.

Maclin is a better prospect than Jackson, so potentially he could put up similar or better rookie numbers, however he might not get as much playing time as we need Jackson to play last season.

I hope its not McCoy, because they most likely means bad things for Westbrook.

I voted for Fokou

DeSEAN JACKSON THE 10NE

I Said McCoy

because while he may put up less numbers than Maclin, the fact that he’s getting touches allows for a healthier Westbrook to put up better stats. Therefore, since he’s helping us personally and through Westbrook, his role is important.

Maclin

because im positive he will be returning punts and kickoffs to get himself started and then contribute in the receiving area. Just like Djax last year.

I went with Maclin, too

I think he can really contribute in the return game. I like how we brought two good return guys in with Maclin and Hobbs.

I really don’t see anyone from this draft class being penciled in as a starter. The health of the starters will have an influence on who makes an impact as well. DJax got in last year due to a Curtis and Brown being banged up.

I want Ingram to do well

But I’m really really afraid he’s LJ Smith pt. 2

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

if it makes you feel any better,

ingram’s not gonna be used in anywhere near the same way. he’s at his best when split out wide, so you’re much more likely to see him lined up outside of kevin curtis, or in the slot next to desean jackson. he’s not the kind of guy who you’re gonna see in the trenches, like LJ smith.
