Rd 1 will be OT   Guaranteed.  At this point 5-6 nice players coming out.

Debate the rest...... DT/S/LB

[BDAWK_4EVER]

Safety may not be as big a need if Coleman/Allen continue the way they are. I didn't like Coleman at all last year, this year he seems to be playing a lot better. Would be nice to pick up a WILL in the early rounds, 2-3.

[NWMontana]

In no order,  DT/S/LB     Quality depth at S is a must in this passing league

[EaglesCB37]

The Eagles will likely look WILL/OT/CB in the 1st depending on who they keep and the condition of Peters. Although, Dunlap and Bell have been playing well and DRC should get a new contract so I say we go WILL next year.

[time2rock]

We had a great draft this year because Howie didn't draft for need, so it's hard to pinpoint which positions will be addressed early.  

Having said that, my biggest "want" is a stud WILL (to team up with Ryans and Kendricks).

[D-Shiznit]

Trade up for Barkley or Geno.

[eaglesfan9800]

I'd go DT again, or take the best big wide receiver available on the board. Kawann Short and Johnathan Hankins are 2 defensive tackles that I think Washburn could get alot out of playing next to Fletcher Cox. At wide receiver, I'm tired of this team not having a big goto type of receiver. Jackson and Maclin are great players, no doubt, but this team needs a big physical presence in the Brandon Marshall or Terrell Owens type of mold. Keenan Allen, another California product, would be an excellent pick in round 1.

I wrote this last week in another thread.....

I like how we finally addressed LB with a meaningful pick last April. It's early days, but Kendricks looks like being just what the doctor ordered.

We should target another LB in R2 next year, the position would then be completely overhauled and become one of strength rather than weakness. I like Jordan, but he's of most value to us as a versatile back-up/core special teamer.

Assuming no more significant injuries, I agree with pretty much all of the previous posts.

OT in R1, then DT (Pattersons replacement?)/WLB in R2/3.

I think Keenan Allen is listed as the top reciever prospect on may of the boards I have been looking at. Two other prospects that I have been looking at (just in case) are Marcus Davis (Virginia Tech) and Keenan Davis (Iowa). I didn't see any video on Marcus Davis, but he is a size speed guy. I read somewhere that he gives up on routes, but he can be a project in the 3rd or 4th round. Keenan Davis is a guy that will go up and get the ball, but the video clip I saw shows he has some recieving issues. He is slated to go in the late rounds.

Here is the video of Keenan davis I mentioned:

I would really like a big receiver early. I am a big fan of Keenan Allen and Justin Hunter. I think the offense would greatly benefit from a receiver in that mold.

[E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles]

I could definitly see interior OL.  We are not very good there at the moment.  Peters helps outside big time.

LB and S are possibilities, too.

As a Mountaineer fan I would love to see us draft Geno. Then we could get Tavon Austin in the 2nd round

Unfortunately, Smith is going to be the first player taken in the draft, so I don't see the Eagles getting him.

No to Barkley. Dude is so overrated, he has two of the best WR in the country this year and still is not producing.

While I agree if Andy is making the pick (which I doubt he will be) it will be an OT, however if its someone else I would hope there's a chance they take Manti Te'o.

I was very enthusiastic about Fletcher Cox, Nick Foles, and Brandon Boykin in this last draft hopefully we can score Te'o and Rambo in this next draft.

I know we need OL depth, but if you can take this team and build a young defense moving forward with a new coach in the future can spell success. Defense first and then see what you have with Foles. McCoy, Desean, and Maclin are young enough that if you build up your defense you can open a new window to make some runs.

The kid from USC might be the top WR prospect coming out of this draft class. From what I've seen in most mocks anyway.

[phillygrump]

I'd rather have Allen though. Kid can play and I like our luck taking guys from Cal lately.

Robert Woods is a good player but he is the second best receiver on his team. Marquis Lee is going to be a high pick when he is eligible.

[philly75]

Not really a big positional need but would be a true leader on D for years to come. Manti Te'o

I really hope that happens. This dude is one of the best linebacker prospects of recent years and is a heart and soul kind of guy, which is something this team has none of, or very little of. But I won't be mad if we do end up taking a player at a position of need like OT as long as it is not another reach like we seem to do almost every draft.

The absolute best scenario IMO for JUST addressing the LBers would Manti Te'o with the first pick - put him at SAM and move Kendricks to WILL
