Eagles add toughness on both sides of the ball

While the Eagles may have slightly reached for Danny Watkins and Jaiquawn Jarrett, they have added a much needed toughness on both sides of the ball. Watkins has been described as outright nasty and brings an attitude to the Eagles offensive line that they haven't had since Jon Runyan. Jarrett can flat out lay the wood and brings some meanness to the Eagles secondary that they haven't had since Brian Dawkins. Keep in mind that Brian Dawkins was drafted lower than Jarrett years ago.
Both picks make an awful lot of sense despite all the naysayers.

So far, I must admit that I am not disappointed in our picks so far, even though I feel that I should be. Does that make sense?
I feel the same way we could have done better but I still like our picks and I think they’ll be successful.

Ok..
Jarrett reminds me of John Lynch and Dawkins a little bit.
Wattkins reminds me a lot of Harvey Dehl and Runyan.
I’m actually very happy with these picks.

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

Yeah...
The most project based seems to be Marsh…we are desperate for depth there, however…so really any CB available that was 2-4 round worthy would have worked for me…seems Marsh has upside, but we’re going to have to fill RCB through FA or trade…

I think they may just go balls out with Lindley.
He showed a ton of promise last season.
