I can't believe we did this . . . .

I thought for sure we'd take Jackson.

Me too, guess I can have edit my signature, how the f*** do we pass on Jackson.

[da_boyz_mk]

that seems like a long way to drop.

[Mr. Fantasy]

This is a deep draft for mediocre RB's. They get an additional 2nd and 5th this year and a 1st next year. I think it was a good trade

[jumanji]

tough call, but a 2nd this year and a 1st next year...that's hard to turn down.

we can probably trade up...but i think we're high on tatum bell and julius jones who would both be there in the 2nd.

[Woods]

Maybe because no RB has been taken thus far, we moved down.

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? We had the highest rated RB in the draft? Are we waiting to win next year?

[JoeyHarris]

Maybe we trade up to get back in the first round, I'm hoping anyway.

Why not take the best overall "complete back" ?

I think that was the key.

Yes, that's probably the reason why.

[Juke99]

You guys keep posting about how we picked up a first next year...we GAVE up our first this year for that first next year...

we got a second...and a fifth...and how many fifth rounders even MAKE it in the NFL?

So, we gave up a shot at the best rated running back in the draft....which happens to be our strongest need position for a second rounder...and probably a special teams guy.

Lousy trade.

[Cowgal]

It's a little disappointing as we sit here now with no player yet. But I think this is the best move in the long run.

[Eagles-UK]

I'm surprised at this trade. it looked good at first but 21 positions is alot to drop down particularily when RB was such a big need

as a philly fan i am glad you didn't take jackson but nobody else has yet so anything is possible

[InmanRoshi]

That could be a Top 10 pick. You get a top 10 pick, a 2nd round pick and a 5th round pick for the #22 pick, its hard to turn that down.
