The 2004 draft ...How did the Eagles fare?

Thank goodness, the draft is over. After spending 10 hours on Saturday watching and another 6 on Sunday, my eye balls can use some rest. So how do you like the
Eagles' picks. I'll bet you were surprised. Were you convinced they were going to select Jackson when they moved up to 16. I wanted Jackson in that spot and I must say I was temporaily disappointed. But when you stop and dissect who we got , you'll love our first pick. I know, I know, picking and OT is not as glamorous as getting a RB or QB. The highlight reels show a big hunk of a human being pushing another player around. It's just not exciting.

Shawn Andrews, the 360 lb Offensive Tackle, was still a junior when he left school this year. Pressing money problems forced him to come out earlier rather than later. If he had stayed in college and entered the draft next year, he would have been the top OT in the draft. He would have been a top 5 prospect like Robert Gallery was this year. And you know how many people liked Gallery. He will eventually replace Runyon in a couple of years but in the mean time , expect him to play some guard. He is a monster of a guy who will be here for 10 years and don't listen to the radio heads who tell you otherwise. They only know how to complain.

Who else did we get?

1st Rd--- OT Shawn Andrews
3rd Rd--- CB Matt Ware
4th Rd--- S J.R. Reed
4th Rd--- OL Trey Darilek
5th Rd--- FB Thomas Tapeh
6th Rd--- QB Andy Hall
6th Rd--- CB Dexter Wynn
7th Rd--- G Adrien Clarke
7th Rd--- RB Bruce Perry
7th Rd--- Dominic Furio

CB Matt Ware and JR Reed are both nice pick ups. Matt Ware was expected to go in the second round but slipped and the Eagles grabbed him. He gives them some height at Corner. He''l step in right away and play in some

New NFL rule change can put a premium on CB speed.
Jules Pilla....April 13th

Just a few short weeks ago in late March, the NFL came up with another way to change the rules to make the offense have an easier time. Points, Points , Points. Offense, Offense, Offense. That’s what the league wants. More here

T.O. and The Freak. What's next for the Eagles ? 3-28-04

No doubt about it, the Eagles have made the the biggest splash so far in this year's free agency. Adding the Freak first and then topping it off with T.O., is more than any of us could have expected or even asked for. So beleive me when I say, I couldn't be juiced for the coming season. It's only March and people are talking Eagles. It has been great. So what next for the Birds?
Let's first list who we have lost more.

Free Agency…Eagles need to be active. They take giant step with Kearse signing. Jules Pilla 3-3-04

With the start of Free Agency, comes an air of excitement and anticipation about who the Eagles might get. Make no mistake about it, the Eagles need to make some critical moves to improve the team to get us to the SuperBowl. The Eagles are reportedly $27.8 million UNDER the cap. That should provide them with... More

Eagles are still a solid team despite loss!
A look at the team needs (Part 1....)....Jules Pilla......Jan 25

There is already talk among the experts who say that the way this team is constructed will never get us a championship. It's time to re-build. Horse hockey. The team certainly has holes that it needs to fill but I'm not ready to give up on them yet and suffer a couple of seasons of 8-8. Are you?

So what should they do and what are their needs?

As it stands right now, the Eagles have eight players who are unrestricted free agents . They also have another three that are restricted free agents.

The four that everybody talks about are MORE
