2006 EFS nfl round 1 mock draft poll, pick #14

[paladisiac]

Who will Philadelphia take with pick #14?

Top needs as i see it, in acronym alpha order: FB, OC, RB, WR.

This is the first team in draft order that i don't feel has a ton of pressing needs to address. This could = taking the best available...

This is a tough call for me. i think they could go either way between WR and RB. Right now i'm going to guess they'll go best available between the two (and possibly best available overall), which is DeAngelo.

This is a tough one as the Eagles don't have a huge pressing need. In fact, most years, they draft to replace a player they plan on letting go for the next season. I definitely think they will look at best player available but they still need help at WR. I think DeAngelo Williams is a better prospect then Santonio Holmes but they just signed Westbrook to a big money deal so I am selecting Santonio Holmes WR Ohio State as the Eagles still need a player to stretch the field opposite Reggie Brown. Todd Pinkston is coming off a major injury and still weighs a buck-o-five. I could also see them taking Chad Jackson because of his size. West Coast offenses prefer taller WR's but I think Holmes is a better prospect.

Looks like we agree on the WR position, but it seems high for any receiver in this year's class at #14. A running back could be had in round 2, and another DT could really be taken here as well. For a team that took a total crap last year, you're right, they do got talent all around yet. NFC East should be a doozy this year.

But I'll go back to WR and select Chad Jackson. His size will be nice for Philly, and I actually have him rated over Holmes by just a bit. He just looks likea man amongst boys out there.

There's a tie to break. Are the few who vote losing interest?

I'll change my vote to Chad Jackson because even though I think Holmes is a sightly better prospect, Jackson probably fits the west coast style of offense better given his size. I still think a WR will be the pick.

Philadelphia takes Chad Jackson, WR, Florida with the #14 pick.
