The Eagles had a GREAT Draft, but they got lucky to have such a great WR available at #19. But they did pick up a great TE and RB to. Patriots had a pretty solid draft also.

Didn't the Browns like trade down a few times? Then draft a position they didn't really need? lol

Well it's not terrible, they got a late 1st and two more 2nd round picks - out of an early 1st rounder. Only problem may be that they passed up on a franchise type of player to grab a bunch of depth.
If our first rounder (Alex Mack) pans out, that'll be really good - he's smart and physical, but I dunno about the overall package. Probably not worth where they took him and would've still been around in the 2nd round.
Then they took 2 WRs in the 2nd, that's actually good. Edwards looked terrible last year (I mean decent overall, but not the top 5 receiver we expected him to be) and Stallworth it too busy running people over, drunk. Both are more of a possession, hold on to the ball, type of receivers - neither is really a home-run threat or a game breaker.
Then we picked up depth @ defensive end with a guy out of Hawaii, but I hear he's a little undersized at this point and is working on putting on mass, could eventually become a good player if he puts in the work.
The rest was more depth @ linebacker and d-backs. Took a late flyer on an RB from Clemson - good/tough runner, but isn't fast. More of a Brandon Jacobs type - though god bless it if he's half the player that monster is.
I think the argument is that we had a top 5 pick... and could've taken a great player but instead chose to go for depth. From what I understand they really wanted Aaron Curry, and nigga went the pick b4. They were hoping Seahawks would've taken Sanchez instead, then they would've stayed @ 5, taken Curry, and the draft would've gone much differently.
