He was described as the best pass catching RB in this year's draft. I would have loved Moreno, but once he was gone, McCoy was next on my list. He looks a lot like Westbrook did coming out of college. I really wanted the Eagles to take McCoy. He was described as the best pass catching RB in this year’s draft.

He may need a year or so to mature a little(on the field - not off) and 'fill out' a bit more but he's an incredibly gifted natural runner and though he didn't get the ball thrown to him all that much at pitt he's got good hands (which he apparently showed off at the combine) He needs to get better at blocking and blitz pickup situations but given the offense the eagles run and the type of back they have in westbrook that was a great pick for them. If he'd have stayed in school he'd have a first round pick for sure and maybe even top 15. But his family and financial situation was such that staying in school and risking a torn ACL or something wasn't an option for him when weighed against an nfl paycheck.

Plus, once Moreno was gone - there was no running back worth taking with that first pick. There was a tight end - and Pettigrew would have been nice. If they had traded for Boldin - they may not have had that second round pick to draft the RB. From what I'm reading, Maclin shouldn't have fallen as far as he did (thanks Al Davis - what a moron) and Knoshon Moreno definitely shouldn't have gone at 12. Another note: that tight-end that they took in the 5th, Cornelius Ingram, I was looking at him a couple of days ago. He has a couple of red flags, but he may be a huge steal. Sat out last season with a bad knee, but otherwise wouldn't have waited to the 5th round. LOL – and I have no problem with it.

Good luck, suckas. With their first pick in the draft, the Eagles took the least important man on the field.
