James Marten to the Cowboys. Not bad but not a WR or a CB.

little known fact, Weinke was actually 47 when drafted...

Beck reminds me of Marc Bulger: Really accurate, smart and throws a great intermediate ball but lacks the arm strength to be among the elite QBs. I think he could do well in the right system.

Yeah Weinke was 28 or 29 and point taken on older players. I hope Ginn and Beck do turn out, of course, but I'm just saying, at this point in time I have serious misgivings on both.

I agree, Beck seems to be way ahead of where Weinke was at. The list of potential fill in QBs/backup QBs in this draft is huge. |

I love this question on the ESPN.com Draft Chat:
"How come guys like Troy Smith and Chris Leak aren't getting drafted yet?"

I saw Beck a couple of times in college, and never thought he was any kind of prospect. What the heck do I know though.

I saw Pennington throw to Moss a few times in college, thought Pennington was a total throw away QB, not worth a pick. I was a bit wrong on that one. |

Eh, I'm not that upset about Booker. I think he can spell Brown when Ronnie needs a break. Granted, there's probably better running backs still on the board, but anything that can prolong Ronnie's career is good.

Yeah, that's kinda what I mean. I definitely preferred Pittman over Booker if we had to go RB in the 3rd, but I would have liked them to wait and look at Bush from Louisville if he were avail. in the 4th, despite the injury issues.
I thought we could have looked at upgrading the secondary at this point. |

I agree that we need to upgrade the secondary, but isn't Pittman the same style runner as Brown? I think Booker is better as a change of pace option.

Comcast Sports Network says, "Drafting a QB sends a message to McNabb, he needs to show up this year or he is gone".
McNabb was a top 3 QB before he was injured last year, most objective statistical analysis shows this. I really hope that the Comcast idiots are way off base. |

WR Jason Hill goes to the 49er's (4.32 timed)
Have I mentioned that I love how my team is drafting this year? Last edited by RedKingGold : 04-28-2007 at 09:15 PM. |

While I can't complain about the Calvin Johnson pick, I've found the rest of the Lions' first day rather... blah.

Pittman is not your typical 3rd down back, I just think he's a better back overall compared to Booker. Since Ricky's future is still uncertain, I'd have liked us to go with the best overall player at RB (though I didn't want to go RB at all). I feel that the best avail. was Pittman (or a healthy Michael Bush).
Another reason I don't love the pick is Ronnie's durability. Ronnie has yet to show he's durable enough to carry us throughout an entire season. Pittman could start in case of an injury, I have doubts that Booker would be effective in a starting role. That said, I like the Booker pick a lot more if Ricky comes back in playing form. Ricky, Ronnie and Booker would make for a good group. |

Enough said. When you call a quarterback among the best in the position, even if top five or top ten, that's good enough. How many quarterbacks would you take over a healthy McNabb? |

The talk of replacing McNabb just seems laughable to me. He's a perennial Pro Bowler -- there are about 20 teams that would love to be in Philly's position right now. He does have a bit of an injury bug, so having a backup with some potential would be nice in the long term -- Feely and, to a lesser extent, Holcomb are both scrubs. It's more the choice of the quarterback than the position that seems weird to me.

I live in Philadelphia but am NOT an Eagles fan. Eagles fans really dislike McNabb, in fact I would say most hate him. I don't get it but most fans won't be happy with McNabb this year. |

I too live in Philadelphia and Eagle fans like McNabb the way they like all of their players. When a player plays great in Philly, everyone loves him. When he sucks, he wish he'd die. When he leaves after doing well, we call him gay (see Jeff Garcia). |

Most Eagles' fans that I know don't dislike him. Most think he is the best QB we've had in our generation and consider him their favorite player. He is certainly one of my top 3 (along with Dawkins and Westbrook) and I would be very upset if the Eagles got rid of him. Of course, I don't see that happening which makes the 2nd round pick more of a head scratcher. |

Eaglesfan, I wish you were a majority of fans I hear from. McNabb deserves to be recognized as a quality QB from the previous years. He has NEVER been the best QB, but has consistently been a top 1/3 or so QB. |

Most of the fans I know blame Cunningham for his "me first" attitude that he frequently displayed and believe he is part of the reason we never won a Super Bowl with that ferocious defense we had. I like Cunningham, but I'd take McNabb over him any day of the week. |

I'd say San Francisco's a real safe bet, if you don't consider 11 a top pick.
