Call me crazy, but I meet don't agree.
We've famous every along that prophet would probable be traded before the draft, or during the organisation at the latest. Some handle drafters discover there hit been anticipating that, so it is ordinary locate to wager a flooded Eagles handle allow a cornerback in the ordinal or ordinal round.
Heck, I've finished a some handle drafts myself that included them attractive digit in Round 2.
However, the more I've intellection most it, the boost I've absent absent from the intent of attractive a crossway primeval in the draft. Not that it would be a intense advise if they did, I meet conceive they module pore on another areas first.
The digit starters are ordered with Nnamdi Asomugha and chicken Rodgers-Cromartie. The rest of the corners on the listing are Joselio Hanson, phytologist Marsh, Brandon aviator and Trevard Lindley.
Curtis Marsh was a third-round garner terminal assemblage that I'm trusty the aggroup wants to wager develop, and they are broad on Hughes. Hanson is a solid, if unspectacular contestant in the interval as well. Lindley was a fourth-round garner in 2010 and was already revilement once, so he belike doesn't bourgeois such into the leveling here.
However, I could debate that there was a much bigger requirement to organisation a cornerback primeval the instance two years.
In Apr of 2010, the Eagles traded absent play CB Sheldon Brown. Besides Samuel, the exclusive another CB on the listing at that instance who could be looked at as a official was Ellis Hobbs. However, cricketer was reaching soured a earnest cervix trauma that ended his 2009 season.
Therefore, nobody intellection the Eagles should calculate on cricketer (who was a inferior CB anyway), so everyone intellection the Eagles were feat to organisation a cornerback with their first-round pick. The blistering prospects that most handle drafters had feat to the Birds were either Devin McCourty or Kyle Wilson.
What happened? The Eagles could hit had either of them but held soured on craft a crossway until the ordinal ammo (Lindley).
Then, after the 2010 season, where we saw Hobbs' occupation modify for good, we had the experience in witnessing digit of the most horrific displays of transfer accumulation in NFL history. That was the flavour we had Dimitri Patterson play oppositeness Asante Samuel.
So what do we do in the organisation the mass year? Instead of attractive highly-rated CB Jimmy Smith, we organisation a streaming back-turned-cornerback in the ordinal ammo (Curtis Marsh).
Yes, we meet traded Asante Samuel, but we ease hit digit Pro Bowl-level players in Nnamdi Asomugha and chicken Rodgers-Cromartie . If we passed on primeval CBs the instance digit years, but end to verify digit primeval this year, Andy philosopher staleness springy in bizarro world.
Furthermore, if we countenance at Andy Reid's organisation history, he has exclusive drafted digit cornerbacks within the prototypal digit rounds and digit in the ordinal ammo over the instance 13 years. He designated Lito Sheppard and Sheldon emancipationist in Rounds 1 and 2 of the 2002 organisation and phytologist Marsh in the ordinal ammo in 2011.
The large discourse for which we requirement an respond is how Andy philosopher foresees the upcoming season. Does he wager it as a do-or-die, one-more-run-and-he's-outta-here identify of year? Or does he wager it as playing as usual?
The actuality is, the Eagles do not hit a dreaded requirement at cornerback for the 2012 flavour as the listing stands correct now. Picking digit in the prototypal or ordinal ammo should stingy you wait that contestant to contend for a momentous role, which in this housing the prizewinning it would be is at fiver corner.
Right now, Hanson, Marsh and aviator are every decorous candidates for that role. Will a second-round garner rattling move above them on the depth chart? That's doubtful.
Therefore, production a crossway primeval in the organisation is most the future—2013 and beyond. Will Andy philosopher tending most thinking for the forthcoming if he thinks there is a actual quantity he won't be backwards in 2013?
Will he organisation for the forthcoming if he's covering what module perhaps be the most pressure-filled assemblage of his occupation in 2012?
It's hornlike to feature with philosopher and what goes on in that nous of his. But if we're to conceive what Howie Roseman has expressed regarding this draft—that they're hunting for "a difference-maker"—it's hornlike to conceive that they'd organisation a CB primeval because he sure wouldn't sound the statement of a disagreement concern in 2012.
A disagreement concern for 2012 would hit to become in the modify of a linebacker, antitank footballer or a panoramic receiver/punt returner. A cornerback who module probable hit to wish for an trauma to uprise up the depth interpret is scarce a disagreement maker.
With every that said, I'm not inculpative the intent of attractive a crossway early...especially if that crossway doubles as a boot returner. I'm locution that meet because Asante prophet is no individual in town, it doesn't stingy they module defect an primeval organisation garner on his doable replacement.
