With every WIN we SCREW the EAGLES EVEN MORE

Cause our 1st pick in the upcoming gets closer and closer to #32 making the Otah pick at #19 an even BETTER deal.... Many of us were pissed at the trade, but let's face it, you won't find a caliber player like Otah in the later part of the 1st round. Every chance we get to bend over Philly, I smile with glee.

The handful of Eagles fans in my life were giving me sh*t about that for weeks after it happened, mainly because everyone outside of the fanbase and local media pretty much assumed that we were going to end up with a vacuum at quarterback because of Delhomme's surgery. They were talking possible top five pick. Sorry about that, guys :D.

Otah and Stewart were both home runs at any place in the first round. I know that Clady and Baker are (were in Baker's case) having good seasons but they don't seem to be as dominant in the run game as Otah.

loadholt is this years otah......... and early reports is a 2nd rounder (i bet much higher). more i read about this draft, not as happy about loosing that pick. that said, he won me over last night. as i looked at the draft getting closer, and the price we paid for a RT, i wasnt happy, we gave up LT worth draft wise. that said he and vincent owned the right side of the line last night, and atleast for 1 night he was more than worth it. still a high price for a RT, but if he becoems the top RT, money well spent.

oh and clady is who i wish we got not otah. he is stud LT, and gross could do his thing at RT, where he is a probowler.

I haven't watched enough on Otah to comment on him, but I can tell you that Clady has been excellent in the run game. There's been several plays where the Broncos can reel off several extra yards on the left side because Clady can quickly get downfield and get a mismatch on a LB or a DB. Quite amazing for a man his size.

    • Funny, because I think it's monumentally stupid to go in as a WR and not CB for him for two main reasons. First is that he's very slender, he has a much better chance at having a longer career as a CB than a WR because of that, and if he can't stay healthy as a WR, he's never going to get the huge contracts and play 10 years in the league like he could on the other side of the ball. The second and more important, is that CB is so much more difficult of a position to play at an elite level, you can't keep dipping your toe in and out of the water on that end and expect to be great. So if he's a full time WR, it will be really hard for him to play any CB part time and be successful at it and make it worth their while to let him to continue doing.  But if he's a full time CB, it's much easier for them to have a few select packages on offense to where he gets maybe 10 snaps a game, half as a decoy, half getting the ball in creative ways to get him space to work in and make a big play here or there. Because also if that works while being an all pro caliber CB, he'll get paid so much more than any CB due to what else he offers, which then would probably rival top WR money, but have the chance at a much longer career while doing so. He's also just a better CB than he is WR, so why go full time at your weaker position that is easier to do part time and still have success?
    • Why sign him for him to play 2-3 games before another trip to IR  
    • This game would be 4-1 at worst with Freddie
