Northern Eagle
Hangin' With The Homeboys
Now, you astute scouts are raving about, is to trade back or even stay put so we don't lose out on this year's combine star - "Obe Won Kanobe", I mean Obi Melifonwu, S, UConn. I know he's tempting, but so was Mike Mamula. Howie would lose his job if he took him @ #14, ane he is a bust. We hired Douglas because he doesn't gamble, but takes the BPA for his team.
I sure hope Howie allows Douglas to do that. Howie has talked a good game so far but the draft is what really matters. We need this draft to be a home run - whomever we end up taking, they better be a cornerstone to build around.
FWIW, I like Obi - I think worst cast case he's going to be Byron Jones - he's turned out to be pretty good so far in Dallas. My guy is Reuben Foster, slight chance he might drop to 14, and if he does, Eagles better draft him. We haven't had star linebackers here since probably Seth Joyner, a combo of Hicks/Foster would be devastating
