Manuel Wright being selected in the 2nd?!

[Oboy]

This is from CNNSI's truth and rumors section...

However, there is a strong sense around the NFL that Philadelphia will use a late second-round pick in the supplemental draft on USC tackle Manuel Wright, who could eventually succeed high-priced starting defensive tackle Corey Simon. "You're basically talking about what's almost a third-round pick if you're the Eagles," one NFL executive said. "I could easily see them doing that."

It says it is from the Miami Herald, but I did not see it on there, but just found it interesting that someone would use a 2nd on him after we have heard reports that his workout was that bad!

It wouldn't be a waste...they already have a complete team, they can afford luxeries.

Makes sense for the Eagles, put a little pressure on Corey Simon to extend his contract.

With the basic core of players signed, the only area the Eagles will be looking for is WR(next draft).

when is the supp draft?

Thursday the 14th

 

[BrazForPhins]

agreed..if didn't have so many positions to upgrade I would be ok with spending a 2nd or 3rd on him

They can afford to do that because they know we're giving them a 2nd for McMahon anyway.

a waste is a waste even if you can afford it. They can take more chances since they are a complete team. Does not mean if it fails it won't be a waste of a 2nd pick

All misdirection. Should be interesting to see what actually happens.

 

[BLITZKRIEG]

Philly???....

Of all that teams that don't need any DL help, it's the Birdz....

I'd be very surprised to see them draft Wright that high....

PHINZ RULE!!!

Blitz ... LOVE the new sig image.

I hope Philly does take him in the 2nd. Makes our decision that much easier.

 

[RHoffman]

He'd be a reach in the second...

I think Philly is smarter than that...

which is difficult for me to admit.
