Taken from a Philly forum:
In a move that shocked the vast majority of the Eagles fan base, the Eagles selected University of Houston QB Kevin Kolb with the 36th overall pick in the NFL draft and the 4th pick of the 2nd round.
9:12 p.m.:
Eagles head coach Andy Reid, during an interview with Chris Berman, said,
"Last time they booed a quarterback in Philadelphia, he turned out pretty good," after the Eagles picked Houston quarterback Kevin Kolb at No. 36.
And Michael Smith just reported that Reid called Donovan McNabb to tell him not to worry about the Kolb pick. Smith said McNabb expressed "befuddlement" in an e-mail exchange.
You do not draft a QB this high, unless you intend for him to be your QB of the future 2-3 years from now. Donovan McNabb is scheduled to make 12 million dollars in 2010, which tells me there are 2 more years in the McNabb era.
The Eagles have always had an eye to the future, and this year's draft is no exception. Well, I guess this is a banner day in the lives of CK Fan and Ozone89. I want what is best for the organization. I'll be very interested to see this guy in the preseason. Time will tell...
