this draft is so "F"ing deep with franchise QBs it is ridiculous

This times 1,000,000! They need a solid linebacker in the worst way either by trading the pick and something to get a very good LB or drafting one themselves. If we were to draft defensive linemen I like Nick Perry out of USC or Quinton Coples out of UNC. The guy I want to see The Eagles draft is Courtney Upshaw out of Alabama and that is coming from a Gator fan or I look to two of 'Bama's other very good prospects in Mark Barron as a strong safety or Dont'a Hightower as a inside linebacker either way I would look to one of those guys before drafting a QB cause Vick is owed a ton of money and like he's shown when healthy is a upper tier QB.


no matter how good your defense is...... Vick is still going to miss 5 games every year, and be hoped up on pain killers and injections for the last 4 games of every year, just to be able to finish the season.

They say that a lot, but have you noticed how few franchise QBs there are in the NFL? It's a lot more rare than you think. Doesn't happen all the time.

Still the Eagles have $100+ million tied up with Vick you can't just say **** it and have him go away. Trust me when Vick is on his game he's damn good look at what he's done over the last 4 games. If you worried about him missing a few games a year I am sure The Eagles could just find another good backup QB if they decide that Vince Young isn't the option there.

I for one would want one of the above mentioned people as a defender first and foremost Philly's LB core is terrible
