lol mcnabb was the master of throwing worm killers. Avant liked those a lot tho

I like the Jordan Matthews pick btw. Probably my favourite pick of our draft. Kid seems really likable.

I totally agree, I got kind of addicted to watching this dudes interviews just to see if I can figure his character out, and I've got to say.. I am so impressed. He strikes me as the Anti-Djax. All about hard work, perseverance and humility (but most def confident in himself)

He stayed after practices at the senior bowl to run routes with Carr and asked for tape of the corners there. Were gonna love his work ethic

Aaahhhh a Philly WR that isn't undersized and has gang affiliations. What a difference. That dude has some paws.

Was it me or was this whole espn draft coverage was about johnny manziel and Michael Sam.

Jon Gruden for 22picks was drunk on Manziel talking about him. Thank god Gruden isn't the coach of the Eagles. And Why was Espn talking about Michael Sam for about 5 hours. He is an average DE in this draft. And there has been gay players in the leaguer for decades. But this guy wanted to be on a stage. And as the draft went on, it almost seemed apologetic that he wasn't drafted.

In past years you could say well just watch NFL Network, but it was the same god damn thing. Day 1 80% of the things Rich Eisen thing were about Johnny Manziel and he kept steering the conversation back to it.

Johnny Manziel will be history in a few years or a backup.

its nice when you have normal-big size body wide receivers. Im excited to see what nick foles can do with matthews, i mean cooper always had decent potential but nick brought out the best in him.

I think his production will be like Avant's on steroids. I've got a feeling that he will be our most productive red zone target, him or Ertz. Just a feeling.

ertz should definately take a next step. I think our offense this year might be more well rounded than last year. Sure we had djax to blow the lid off a defense but i feel we have more guys who can do everything on the field, and can catch in traffic, and are better for moving the chains

Andre Johnson anyone? What's his situation?

Agree.....last year we had Mccoy. Djax,Celek and Cooper....that was it.

This year, we will have Maclin,Cooper,Ertz,Matthews,Huff,Sproles,McCoy and Celek.

I think in terms of # of weapons we can use....we are much more well rounded this year. Kelly wants to play at a break neck pace, and with more bodies, he can swap players in and out for fresh legs and different looks.

I would pass. He's really expensive and will soon be 33 years old. Maclin, Cooper, Matthews, Huff, Ertz, Celek, and Sproles is an ample amount of pass catchers.

That's the thing. Not openly. But there have been gay players in the NFL for years. But they know that your sex life or life style doesn't belong In the locker room or work.

michael sam would be a player i would have considered, but him coming out just creates a huge media circus that his talent probably isn't worth. Im sorry to say it, but its obvious teams passed on him because of the media circus. He was a great college player

Vince Young is retiring apparently. Sad that he cursed us with that dream team comment. That made the underachieving suck so much more.
