National love for Giants, Eagles' drafts out of control?

redsk1 · 05-04-2009, 05:32 PM

From the above article...

What Heckert and Reid did, in brief:

• Traded the 85th overall pick (third round) to the Giants for the 91st (third-round) and the 164th (fifth-round) picks.

• Traded the 91st pick to Seattle for the 137th (fifth-round), 213th (seventh-round) and the Seahawks' third-round pick in 2010.

• Traded the fifth-round pick acquired from Seattle plus the 141st pick (fifth-round, acquired from Cleveland) to New England for cornerback Hobbs.

• Traded the fifth-round pick acquired from the Giants to New Orleans for the 222nd pick (seventh-round), plus the Saints' fifth-round pick in 2010.

• Traded the seventh-round pick acquired from New Orleans to Indianapolis for the Colts' sixth-round pick in 2010.

• Used the seventh-round pick acquired from Seattle to pick guard Paul Fanaika.

So they also got a 3rd, 5th, and a 6th rounder next year. Pretty smart thinking imo.

Now if they would have spent a couple $'s every now and again, they would have most likely won a SB by now. I'm glad they don't.

Again, like I mentioned, saying the Eagles got enough in this draft to trade for a lot of picks in next years draft requires the belief that Maclin fills a need and will be a great player. And then, whatever your opinion is of Maclin, grade the Giants fairly based on the fact that they didn't get him.

Sooooooo..the Iggles are starting to win the offseason now. Is that correct?

CRedskinsRule · 05-04-2009, 08:39 PM

Yeah, but when they do it their FO is da bomb, when we do it the FO is beyond redemption.

Heath Shuler was such a great quarterback that they named a candy bar after him.

Yes. It is stuffed with nuts and has a marshmallow arm.

Both have multiple impact and role players. The Eagles also got return specialist Ellis Hobbs in a trade, not bad.

So, I can understand the love a little. We got 1 impact player and a hopeful.

Who's the hopeful?

Not to mention they'll likely recieve a 2nd rd pick from the Jets for Lito(which he should play a lot for them).
2-2nds
2-3rds
2-5th
2-6ths
