Eagles Don't Need An Ot!

[igglefanz]

God really I swear why do some of my fellow fans have to be such damn idiots. Our defensive line wasn't our issue it was our scheme. We have 3 good defensive ends a first round pick and if we keep Jenkins for one more year we have 3 deep as good quality players at DT.

Also unless someone here knows Peters personally or is his doctor we have no clue how well he will be when he gets back. He was in a electric wheelchair and damage the same tendon 2 times. He may never be the same player ever again. Jockel is a Joe Thomas type LT and can make this team soo much better even if Peters is back, Gives us 2 great tackles then can move Herrmans and or Mathis around and Kelce is back what is there to loose.

Also D-unit , really coming in here and calling us totally hopeless isn't saying much. This team was really a turnover away from beating you last time without 4 starters on the OL out our starting pro bowl rb out, Our number 1 receiver out and yet our scrub of a QB make Riely Cooper of all people look like a pro bowler against your Cowboys. We are not the 2k Redskins and we will be back next year enjoy the one year break from us.

Coaches don't just bench promising players because they want "their own guys".

Coaches do this literally all the time

The only 3 people that I would even consider over him would be Jones, Lotulelei, and Moore. Te'o and Womack are not worth a top 5 pick. So, if one of them falls due to someone overpricing a QB, then here are my concerns.

Jones- IF we switch to a 3-4, which is no way near a certainty, I would be on board with this pick. That would also make Ryans, who we traded for specifically to fit a 4-3, worthless, and would make the Eagles have a boat load more problems, since they only have smaller lineman on the team currently. Right now, we need to stick with a 4-3, which makes Jones NOT the pick

Moore-If he was the pick, I wouldn't mind, but he doesn't fit currently. He is not starting in front of Cole (he will get one more chance), and Graham has shown enough to keep him on the other side. For the 4th overall pick, I want a starter, and Moore would not start

Lotulelei- I see no way he is actually there. If he is, gimmie him. A D-line of Cole, Lotulelei, Cox, Graham would be awesome. But, we traded up to draft Cox last year, DT isn't exactly a need, and there are guys out there in FA who could help.

With the projected 4th pick, it has to be Joeckel. This allows Herremans to move inside, and gives the Eagles the heir apparent at LT. Peters may not come back to being the player he was. Joeckel would give the Eagles insurance at LT and Kelly can be there to take RT if necessary. This gives Foles (or whoever is the starting QB) a fighting chance and gives McCoy actual running lanes.

Bigger holes on this team include DB (all four starting spots), WR (need a physical guy who can get open), and SLB (Cheney is just not doing it), but there is no one there at these positions to justify the #4 pick.

I honestly would be looking to move down in the top 10, as the Eagles have a long list of needs. This is not a quick fix, but a good start is Joeckel.

Signed up to tell me that? Awesome!

I didn't know there was an expiration date on SB rings and that if you have a more recent string of playoff wins w/out a championship then that makes your bragging rights better. Aww shucker duckers!
