No.

MLB is about 9th on the list of things the Eagles need, and not a chance in hell Fluker or Lester last that long.

actually fluker could last to the second, there are alot of better tackles and i guess it really comes down to need of other teams. i do agree lester wont last till the 3rd though.

to the OP:
i like the kenny stills pick and although the idea of a Ryans-Te'o-Kendricks LB core makes me wet in my boxers i agree we have bigger needs in the first. but then again tacking the top player on the board is how teams like pitt and GB have had success...

All of the sudden LB is not a need on this team anymore? Ryans is not necessarily playing lights out and our defense has ZERO playmakers on it. Our defense has had ZERO playmakers on it since Dawkins left.

Te'o is a playmaker and a guy to build your defense around.

I kind of get sick of the mentality that we need to take a OL because our OL sucks. Peters, Kelce, and Herremans come back and this OL turns into a strength on this team. We need a safety yes, but there is a lot of depth at that position and at OL in this draft. If you are picking in the top 10 or even top 5 (seems like we might) then you need to take the best player available and I think that guy is Te'o. There is enough depth at S and OL to justify taking one in the 2nd round and going OL in the 3rd.

I would even move Desean Jackson for a 2nd rounder in the offseason and try to grab some more OL depth or another S or DB.

Desean doesn't seem to have an interest in playing hard for this team so he can go elsewhere.

This team is no longer in a position where they should be concerned with adding key pieces to win a Super Bowl. They are in a rebuild mode.
