I pretty much ripped Ponder apart a few pages back, so I basically agree with you. Ponder had no business getting drafted until the third day, IMO.

I agree with you by-and-large. That said, I do think Trent Dilfer and Jon Gruden are competent specifically when evaluating quarterbacks.

overall I'm happy with the eagles draft. Over the last two years I think they have done well. But hard to say how well the defense will be. A Former Offensive line coach head of defense and so other pieces added. I don't know, couple that with no free agency yet its hard to say how well this drafted players will contribute. IMO I don't see immediate starters except first pick. I feel like they put their practice team together during the draft.

Indeed I really liked Dilfer and Gruden on the Draft they werent afraid to dish it out especially Dilfer, I just feel that Kiper focuses too much on the positives if a prospect that when atleast analyzing the players it seems he just barely mentions the negatives imo

And if he has injury history I could see why teams would shy away from Noel although I was hoping SD would grab him. At his weight I think he can make a team if in the right situation.

Can he be a returner maybe? Looks pretty fast from what I looked up. I reconize the name but don't know why,did he get into some kind of trouble?

Not sure. Something must have teams scared for him to not be at least a 7th rounder. Could be his size, injury history, or character issues. I'm thinking its gotta be character issues but, that is just a guess.

With the uncertainty of the NFL and this lockout I've heard some undrafted free agents have already opted for other alternatives, players aren't waiting for uncertainty. UFL is calling their name. Which is smart IMO.

Have draft grades released yet. I always have a little fun seeing them.


Sent from me, duh.
