The Eagles just released the former All-Pro guard, saying that they are moving in a different direction. I know, he has had injury problems over the past few years, and back injuries are always a cause for concern with OL. I also know that he is a bit of a handful, suffering from supposed "depression" last season that kept him out of camp, and beginning an underground (as it should remain) hip-hop career last season, among other things. BUT, he is a former-first round pick in 2004 and proved his talent to be deserving of such a high choice when he has not been injured. He has had sometime to get healthy only playing 2 games last season, and he is only 27 so there should still be a fair amount of football in front of him. Also, Reese has been known to be adept at handling character issue guys, so there is no reason he couldn’t work with Shawn as well. He could be an immediate upgrade to our LG position, and address one of our offseason concerns in terms of OL talent and depth. I’m not totally in love with the idea, but it is worth considering. What do you guys think? A little Shawn Andrews anyone?

I think we shouldn't be overlooking the fact that the we still might have a need at sefety, or corner. Pillips may not recover as well as we would like, Ross is always hurt and Rolle is not that good, really. We might need a playmaker att safety... just a thought. With the 15th overall the New York Giants select Taylor Mays, Safety, USC. I think the G-men will draft the best value player at 15.

Then trade up in the second round, still some quality players around in the top of the second round and we might be able to find a steal of a DE or Oline I think we should stay put at 15 and draft Sean Weatherspoon, hes versitle, fast and can play either weakside or middle line backer.

He has tremendous ability, He's a return man and can catch out of the backfield. Similar to Sproles, what he would bring to our offense would be nice. Could be an good 4th or 5th round pick.
