Paul Oliver

The problem is, we would need to give up a second to get him, but wouldn't be willing to use more than a fourth, at the very most. It is like I said before, we will not get him.

You dont really know that, if the eagles have this guy very highly rated (grade of a top 10-15 pick) the eagles could very well give up a second round pick which will be around 60.

We'll see what happens. I'm not certain that the team will give up a first day pick for Oliver. I'm pretty sure he'll go for a third rounder at worst. Given the Eagles late draft status, they wouldn't have a chance to get him if they bid a third.

Hence, they would have to give up a second, Considering the fact that it looks like Corner will be something that the team will look to draft next year. With James most likely bouncing and Barksdale being nothing more than a project. Like i said earlier i dont expect them to get oliver and would only give it a 1/100 chance, however it would make sense logically.

If the team thinks he is a great prospect and one who would be an excellent value, I see nothing wrong with taking him with a second rounder. James is on his last year, Sheldon and Lito are signed through 2010 or 2011, and after them, the Eagles have Barksdale and Joselio Hansen. CB wouldn't be the worst thing to draft for, but is it a worthy investment of a second rounder? Very hard to say.

With the emphasis on nickel backs in the NFL? Absolutely. Many teams use a nickel back 50% of the time. You want someone really good out there.

They might even trade out of the first round with a rival team to give the rival team a first rounder! Man, that would be dumb! Oh wait....

Yes, because taking a player they didn't value at the spot would have been smarter. Dallas overpaid to move up, and the Eagles got 2 extra picks and valuable players for moving back. The extra talent they got will help the team win games and will help in the future. Who cares if it was Dallas? Sure, I would have preferred a different team, but the value was there. Of course, if Spencer busts, the Eagles will look brilliant.

I didn't like Spencer as a 1st round pick going into the draft. I thought that Abiamiri had more potential overall than Spencer.

As did I. Abiamiri is more balanced of a player and I think will end up having the better career.
