He is one of my favorite players in this year's draft, but my point was they drafted a DT just two years ago. They aren't going to build anything when they are replacing people every other year. I agree entirely with you about the value of O-lineman at the time they picked, but I couldn't pass on a DB there. I'm still digesting the Eagles draft. There weren't any DBs or Safeties left at 26 that's for sure, so I think it was good to trade that pick. JUST NOT TO THE COWBOYS!!! Zach, I don’t think the selection of Okoye was bad.

Levi Brown and Joe Thomas were off the board, Joe Staley wasn't worth a No. 10 pick. If Mario Williams steps up and Okoye lives up to his potential that is one defensive line that will wreak havoc. They should have traded some picks for Staley however. I'm pissed the Titans took Michael Griffin since I'm an Eagles fans, they desperately needed a safety or quaterback and since the first 25 teams snatched up the top 3 CB and safety prospects the Eagles traded away their pick. - <a href="http://www.allphiladelphiasports.com">All Philadelphia Sports</a> I think the Texans move of drafting Okoye was a good move.
