After The Draft Thoughts:Philadelphia Eagles Are They Better Without Donovan McNabb

In this installment of After The Draft Thoughts we are going to take a look at the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles shipped Donovan McNabb to Washington and now Kevin Kolb is the starter. First, we will at their draft picks.

1 13 (13) Brandon Graham DE 6-2 263 Michigan
2 5 (37) Nate Allen S 6-2 206 South Florida
3 22 (86) Daniel Te'o-Nesheim DE 6-4 263 Washington
4 7 (105) Trevard Lindley CB 6-0 179 Kentucky
4 23 (121) Keenan Clayton LB 6-2 220 Oklahoma
4 24 (122) Mike Kafka QB 6-3 220 Northwestern
4 27 (125) Clay Harbor TE 6-3 245 Missouri State
5 3 (134) Ricky Sapp OLB 6-4 240 Clemson
5 28 (159) Riley Cooper WR 6-3 215 Florida
6 31 (200) Charles Scott RB 6-0 234 LSU
7 13 (220) Jamar Chaney LB 6-1 245 Mississippi St.
7 36 (243) Jeff Owens DT 6-3 300 Georgia
7 37 (244) Kurt Coleman S 5-11 195 Ohio St.

With 13 picks in the NFL Draft the Eagles were very busy. Brandon Graham was the Eagles first choice out of Michigan. This defensive end is a prime time player and a very good choice on the Eagles part. Nate Allen safety out of South Florida is another guy that should do well with the Eagles. Out of the 13 picks 8 was on the defensive side of the ball. My biggest worry about the Eagles is trading Donovan McNabb away. I just do not see Kevin Kolb being the answer. We will find out as the Eagles have him as the guy this year. If Kolb does well so will the Eagles. If not they will struggle.
