Kolb - Honestly I have seen a ton of College football, I might have seen Kolb play once and he didn't stand out in my mind. Still he was very productive in college, his fumbling problems worry me (25 of them in college). The fact he played in the Run and Duck worries me. Reid has a good track record though in evaluating QB's and developing QB's so there is hope. My biggest problem with this pick though is this, Why here and why now. McNabb is going to be here to at least 2010, same with Aj Feeley. So Kolb is basically going to be an understudy for 3-4 years. This just does not make sense to me folks, especially if he doesn't play for 3-4 years, then all of a sudden he is a free agent. I still don't understand how we can have the last two years second round picks in Justice and Kolb basically deactived every game next year. Seems to me a team that is so into building through the draft would want to get their draft picks on the field as soon as possible.
Abiamiri - Another shock to me. After signing and resigning 3 defensive ends in the past year and having a having Kearse still under contract, I certianly didn't see a need to draft a DE this year. Abiamiri is a good prospect though and what I like about him is he is a bigger end at 6ft 4 270lbs. They have a very interesting situation here. One of the top 4 ends have to go in order for this guy to play or once again we will have another 2nd round pick being deactived every game this year. Not a good situation. PLUS givin the fact that the Defensive Cooridnator said that he thinks GoCong is probably a DE and the fact that the next pick was Bradley, tells me that GoCong will also be in the mix at DE. How many DE are we going to keep, How many busted picks and free agent signing can we have here.
Bradley - Now this is a pick I really like. I would have still prefered DeOssie but Bradley is a prototypical strong side linebacker. It would not surprise me if he wins the Strong side job outright in camp. I think Spikes is going to be the weak side backer now and Gaither and Trotter are going to share the middle. This pick also signals GoCong is not going to play OLB. Bradley is going to be a steady solid outside backer. He won't be a pro bowler but he will be a solid pick especially at this part of the third round
Hunt - Love this pick. I wanted Leonard as my big back, but when he was off the board Hunt was the man I wanted. We finally have the big North South runner we have desired. This kid is smart, this kid is a good blocker and he can catch the ball out of the backfield. He plays faster than his 40 time but he has never been a burner anyway. Reality also says we don't necessary need that, we have backs with breakaway speed we needed a pounder. Hunt will play alot this year. He will play on special teams and I envision him being used alot like Marion Barber is used in Dallas, short yardage, goal line and in situations where we want to pound on a team.
I am not going to give this draft a grade yet. So far I see two players who will help this year with the possiblity of Abiamiri playing this year if they can clear out some of the log jam in front of him. Kolb is a long long long long long long term project who might never see the field as an Eagle and will continue to baffle me as to why they took him
