Philadelphia Eagles

This year the Philadelphia Eagles have the rights to 12 draft picks, including the 21st and 28th picks in the first round. There are a couple of scenarios that I would like to see that could improve this team and bring them back in contention for the Lombardi trophy. One situation many have been hoping to see is pre-draft in a trade including picks and or Sheldon Brown involved in a deal for Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Donovan McNabb is frustrated with the front office due to the lack of star power at the wide out postion and I feel he deserves a big time wide out playmaker to stretch the field and Boldin would do just that. Now dealing with the actual day of the draft there are a couple of intreaging options that would satisfy Philly if we do not end up acquiring Boldin. I feel that if Oklahoma State tight end Brandon Pettigrew is around by pick 21, the Philadelphia Eagles should and would take him to run alongside Brent Celek and cause a big time playmaking and blocking tight end to the team that Rutgers alum L.J. Smith shouldve. Now if Pettigrew is snatched up before 21 then the Eagles should pick up Georgia standout Runningback Knowshon Moreno who would be a great tail back with the aging but still explosive Brian Westbrook. With the 28th pick the Eagles should look to Rutgers wide out Kenny Britt who was the playmaker at Rutgers who has height and speed for his size, he is the kind of player who could take over the game and give speedy Desean Jackson more room to fly downfield with his explosive speed. This is all of course if Anquan Boldin is not dealt to Philadelphia come draft day, because with the way things are going it may not happen. If the Eagles end up acquiring Moreno or Pettigrew at 21 then I feel the Eagles should address the down but not out offensive line with a fresh young lineman like Michale Oher who could maybe fall to 28th or if the situation is necessary then maybe take Oher at 21st. Later in the draft I think Philadelphia should look into Rutgers wideout Tiquan Underwood who could come along with Kenny Britt and form a connection, maybe he could be a nice late first day early second day chance with him.

But we will see what happens draft day because the Eagles have been known to build up players and they progress and come along later but I feel there is a sense of urgency to draft some players who can contribute now while DMac is still at the helm before they start thinking of bringing redneck Kolb to the helm. Now what I want to get is your feedback and find out what you true Eagles fans think Philly should do with this years plentiful draft picks.
