Eagles Offeason Prediction (updated and detailed)
I'm bored on this Sunday afternoon so I am going to give an updated prediction of the Eagles offseason. Thisoffseason really isn't that bad. Peppers and Kampman both had questions surrounding them and I wouldn't want to overpay for Rolle ever. The Rhodes trade was nice for the Cards for the price but Rhodes isn't anything special. Trust me I live in New York and Jets fans are whining about him all the time.
Now here are a few predictions...
1. Eagles sign Kirk Morrison who is tendered with a third round pick. This is a heck of a bargain for a talented linebacker who is only 28. This signing would slide Stewart Bradley to an OLBposition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnXf842DjU8&feature=fvw (thats a lil video with some highlights of him
2. This was brought up in a recent fanpost and it definitely caught my eye. The Bills want rid of Whitner. That's awesome. I would love to see the Eagles trade Vick and a late pick (probably a sixth). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2et43CNc1yo
3. The Eagles are going to sign Marlin Jackson to a deal. He is a talented corner who is only 26 years old. The story is hot off the press that he will be visiting the NovaCare Complex soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu_0JY2oAxY
4. Jason Avant will definitely be back along with Nick Cole, Ellis Hobbs, and Akeem Jordan. I guess I have to say the Eagles will bring back Gocong since they tendered him with a third but it really hurts to say that. I hate him at outside linebacker. Hopefully they try to bring him back to defensive end and if all else fails they just cut him.
5. As much as I want Donovan out of here, I just can't see him being traded.
And now for the mock draft:
Round 1: The Eagles need another outside linebacker now that the Eagles cut Will Witherspoon. With that said I see the Eagles taking the vocal and athletic outside linebacker from Mizzou. Who is that? Sean Weatherspoon. This guy plays great and has great character. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyafsfciih8
Round 2: The Eagles draft Greg Hardy, the defensive end from Ole Miss. With the right mentor Hardy will EASILY become a star. He was once benched for lack of effort in 2008 but I have confidence that this guy will continue to stay on the right track. This kid has so much talent and it's obvious he just needs the proper push to get him going. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dhol5aFg8Y
Round 3: The Eagles had two picks in this round but after they signed Kirk Morrison, they had to give one to the Raiders. With their now lone third round pick I see the Eagles taking either Toby Gerhart or Anthony Dixon. I personally like Anthony Dixon because he runs with more power and would compliment McCoy well but since I predicted this in my last post and got ripped for it, I'm going to say that Gerhart could be drafted as well.'
Round 4: The Eagles have two pick in this round. With their first pick of the round I see them getting another linebacker to provide depth (this is necessary because I dont see the Eagles bring back Tracy White). This linebacker will likely be named AJ Edds or Micah Johnson. With their second pick the Eagles will take an interior offensive lineman. Mitch Petrus from Arkansas and Brandon Carter from Texas Tech would be available there.
Round 5: The Eagles have no picks in the fifth round
Round 6: The Eagles will trade their lone sixth round pick to the Bills along with Michael Vick for Donte Whitner(Safety)
Round 7: The Eagles have no picks in the seventh round.
And that concludes my mock draft...but not my offseason.
The Eagles will sign undrafted rookie free agent, Kenny Alfred to fight for the starting center spot for the Eagles which will be really up for grabs. The competition will be between him, Mike McGlynn, and Nick Cole in my opinion.
What do you think? I really think this would solve all of our holes and is really really realistic

Well written
Good job. You’re predictions also seem very viable.

Good Stuff
i wouldnt mind Donte Whitner but i wouldnt want to give up vick for just him. maybe another player/pick. dont know
We have two 3rds? i didnt know that lol. deff go after Capt Kirk…the guys the man.
im not gonna lie i really wanna see Taylor Mays in midnight green. I know the guys questionable in coverage and that matters obv. but he hits harder than a mack truck. we need physicallity like that…(R.I.P Dawk)
In 20 We Trust
I like Taylor Mays as well
I just like Sean Weatherspoon better and if the Eagles were to get Whitner (like in my prediction) they most likely wouldnt take mays. And I understand you would want more for Vick but Whitner still has upside at his age and that would prob be what it would take to get him. The guy was a top ten pick I believe. I rele rele like him.
Gerg Hardy is injury prone and he doesn't put enough effort in some games
He didn’t play this past year because he was injured.
eff you we winning anyway
A.I. IS BACKKKKKKK
those are or were both true
I have faith in this guy and his immense talent. You gotta believe. People can definitely mentor him. And if not, I’m sure some money incentives can get him going.
Nope, Bradley's a MLB, nobody's going to unseed him there.

Yeah but why take him away from what he does best?

we dont rele know
what he does best. He played well his rookie year at OLB then he went to MLB and started to emerge as a star. He COULD have done the same at OLB. We can never rele prove that. Im not saying he would have emerged at OLB im just he could have. And alcatraz0109 just pointed out that Morrison can play SAM so the signing still makes sense
I'd rather keep bradley in the Middle.

Morrison wouldn’t play MLB, he’d be the strong side starter if he came
but overall, pretty solid predictions
You don’t seem to understand that a third round pick is not just a throwaway pick that you give up for the rights to give someone a decent sized contract.
I am the people's troll :3™
you dont seem to understand
that morrison is more than worth this pick and I’m not the only one that thinks so. I’m not even close to the only one. Look it up. The guy can play
after the first and second the draft gets
more and more risky, which makes sense but you have to understand how the Eagles have done in the third round lately. Since 2003 the Eagles have drafted one guy that I actually think is good in the third round. That player is Stewart Bradley. The rest is garbage. Bryan Smith, Tony Hunt, Chris Gocong, Ryan Moats, Matt Ware, Billy McMullen. Morrison still has a ton of good years left in him, he is DEFINITELY WORTH the Eagles third rounder. It’s not even like it’s an early third rounder either so stop crying and think before you start telling me what I don’t understand.
Cornelius Ingram is an unknown. Would’ve been a 2nd or 1st round pick if he didn’t tear his knee in college. He was from the 3rd.
2007 Stewart Bradley. He’s a pretty good player, no?
Do you remember a guy named Brian Westbrook?
It’s hit or miss. I’ll take my chances on getting a Ryan Moats every now and then if you get a shot at Brian Westbrook.
If the Eagles were to get Morrison, it would be in a trade for a 4th or lower.
I am the people's troll :3™
Still, I seriously doubt the Eagles make a play for this guy, let alone sacrifice a 3rd.
I am the people's troll :3™
u say sacrifice like its a bad thing
this guy could play for us for another 5 to 6 six years. And WILL contribute. Not CAN or SHOULD. There are many articles saying that he was under tendered and that the Eagles should get him. Like I said Im not the only one that thinks this would be great
They are good picks
But it’s not the way the Eagles work. getting Morrison would be huge, but the Eagles love to draft. The more picks the better. giving away 2 of their picks in this years deep defensive draft, just doesn’t seem like something they would do. I would also like Whitner, but I just see us actually getting more draft picks and keeping our FA signings to low key vets, and our trades for low picks for solid but unspectacular vets.
