First time poster here...
This was from Peter King's MMQB article this morning.  I know that there's been some talk about trading Kolb during the off-season and Peter mentions it also... but he thinks we could actually get 3 1st round picks for Kolb.  Here's the quote:

"I think the Philadelphia Eagles shouldn't consider trading Kevin Kolb for anything short of three first-round picks. Ridiculous, of course. But think about it. Kolb's salary is manageable next year at $1.4 million. We haven't seen Mike Vick play a full season in forever. And if Vick goes down in September, do you want your season resting on the right arm of Mike Kafka? Kolb has more value by far than a normal top backup would have, because there's such a real chance of the starter getting hurt. So don't be tempted, Andy Reid. (Not that this offseason is going to business as usual anyway.)"

Is it King's pipedream or do we actually have a prayer that some team would actually give up 3 1st rounders for Kolb?

I mean... I'm not crazy about Kafka becoming our backup QB but I don't see how Andy turns down even 2 1st rounders let alone 3 for Kolb.

still giddy over the cowboys win, i spent the day reading cowboy fan comments on their blog page...very entertaining stuff.  what great start to 2009!

reading cowboy fan comments, i now realize how crass and rude eagle fans really are compared to our texan counterparts who are oh-so-gentle and classy.... NOT!

Thank you jerry jones for signing TO, pacman, tank johnson etc.  GO eagles!

According to rotoworld, Adarius Bowman (yes that 6'4" 220 WR from OSU) has signed with the Eagles - the link is  http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=4660

Unfortunately, he pleaded guilt to weed possession and was given a delayed sentence of 12 months in jail.  I'm not sure how this works but if he makes the team, can he serve his term in 3 installments for 4 years?  Maybe Joe Banner can send the judge a fruit basket for a reduced sentence or something...

If he really applies himself during camp and realizes his potential, we may have found a real gem here.  This guy was considered a top 15 pick before the season and even a potential Heisman candidate.  I don't like the way he catches (relies on his body too much instead of his hands) but is very physical and plays fast with pads.

it looks like andy's going to try to package his 6/7 picks and try to move up to 3/4 rounds.  i can't picture holding onto all those picks.  any thoughts on possible picks?

dajuan morgan seems to be a logical choice here but he'll probably gone by the 80th pick unless the eagles move up.

interesting CB/S prospects like jake ikegwonu, tom zbikowski, reggie smith are still available.

we need more depth at OL but i don't know much about the guys that are available and most of the top prospects are already gone, so we'll see

I want a big fast receiver like everyone else on this board, but reality is that even if we get a Sweed, Kelly or Hardy, they won't contribute much during their rookie season due to the complexity of Andy Reid's offense.  Since this may be McNabb's last year, I'm not sure this makes any practical sense.

This is why I'm not totally against drafting an OL or S, even a CB with the first pick.  One the same token, I'm intrigued by Eddie Royal, WR from Virginia Tech.  He may be the most dynamic returner in the draft after Jackson and was a good receiver as well at VT.  Rivals.com ranks him at 60 so if he's on the board for our 3rd round pick, I hope the Eagles jump on him like Tommy Lee on a supermodel.  Any thoughts?
