Free Agency

1. D. Goldson (SS) Consistent and intelligent, also hits like a freight train #1 target IMO

2. A Talib (CB) Tons of talent and great intangibles, his major down side is his maturity and decision making when it comes to off field concerns. But he his no doubt a playmaker who doesn't shy away from tackling.

3. D. Smith (OLB) Yes he's 30 but he is an outstanding LB and would be a great fit for the Eagles SLB.

Trade :

1. C. Jenkins (DT) to G.B. for their late 5th. Eagles are rebuilding and Jenkins just doesn't fit in long term.

2. N. Asomuagh (CB) The Eagles bite another bullet and deal Namdi to T.B for a 4th and the Eagles eat 4 million but save 11 million.

3. Eagles trade their 1st(#3) to Carolina for their 1st(#5) 2nd (#37) and 4th. The Panthers desperately want a stud DT and need to get ahead of Oakland.

Draft :

1. L. Joeckel (LT) The Eagles roll the dice moving back but their boy lands right in their lap and they get their franchise LT. Luke starts at RT which slide Todd inside to RG. Two spots on the offensive line are instantly upgraded.

2a. B. Jones (C/G) IMO the o-line must be the Eagles #1 priority and drafting and developing our own home grown talent is essential. The added bonus is Barrett is a jack of all trades and can play all spots on the o-line. Quality depth.

2b. M. Elam (S) I've watched this kid play live and he seems to be a solid tackler and plays well in both coverage and the run. Willing to stick his nose in their and lay the wood. Allen and Elam can duke it out to figure out who will start. A little on the short side but not enough to scare the birds away.

3. G Hodges (OLB) I always like the LB's that come out of Penn St. and Gerald is the latest in a long line. Have him sit behind Smith and learn. Could be excellent for special teams for 1-2 years before getting the starting SLB spot.

4a. T. Bray (QB) If he declares he would be the poor mans Jay Cutler. 3rd stringer for 2-3 years then become the #2 behind Foles.

4b. L. Edwards (DE) Plays in the extremely talented SEC and would be good depth behind Graham.

4c. K. Reed (TE) Will challenge for the #2 behind Celek

5a. J. Taylor (CB) Development project and special team player.

5b. G. Blair (MLB) Backup for Ryans

6a. C Reid (DT)

6b. K. Davis (WR)

7. T. Tutogi (FB)

Oakland picks ahead of Philly so that trade can not happen.

[BirdGang45]

Why would the Patriots let Talib leave? Since they just got him this year.

[slade76]

I'm assuming the Eagles lose out and Oakland goes 1-1. And Talib could certainly come free it happens all the time, just depends on how much the Patriots value him.

[Birdgang24]

Im definitely want a hard hitting defence back Goldson would be a solid pick up and making the trade too grab another 2nd

Sign Goldson

Draft
Manti T'eo
2a Dj Flucker
2b Eric Reid

No way Tyler Bray lasts until the 4th round.

[EaglesCB37]

That would be a nice FA, not sure the Pats let Talib leave, but Smith is a good possibility as long as Jacksonville wants Jarvis Jones in the draft; Goldson's a good possibility as well. Trading away Jenkins and Asomugha seems legit, not sure we get that much in return though. You also didn't list cutting Vick and Bell, but I'm assuming you'd do that. The problem in the draft is, even if the Raiders select Star Lotulelei, Johnathan Hankins would be available for the Panthers at #5 so I doubt they would give up a second round selection to upgrade from Hankins to Star. Other than that I love your draft but not sure Hodges makes to our second and Bray will most likely be a mid-third round selection at worst.

[slade76]

Thanks for the feedback guys. CB37, the reason I'm betting Carolina is going to target one specific DT and isn't going to take the risk. Bray IMO has the tools but he just doesn't seem like he will be able to handle the next level quite yet. Kinda reminds me Ryan Leaf with his maturity, given time and the right coaching maybe he will prove me wrong.
