Five players for the Eagles to draft in round 1

Your Philadelphia Eagles have the 24th pick in the first round of tonight's NFL Draft. They also have two picks in rounds 2, 3 and 4 -- which gives them tremendous ability to move up in the first round.

If they move up...

1. Eric Berry, safety, Tennessee -- This kid was the best defender in the country the last two years. He's so good, we'd move Philly's first pick, second pick and next year's third round pick to move up to get him. Would Seattle's Coach Pete take the bait and move the 6th pick to Philly?!? Will Berry get past the Redskins at 4?!?

2. Earl Thomas, safety, texASS -- It pains us that a Bonghorn could actually help the Birds in round one. Thomas is a notch below Berry, but many peeps feel he can also play corner -- another spot where the Eagles need help. Most feel they would have to move up to get him, but some mocks have him still around at #24. k kkkkkkkkkllll;;;;

3. Derrick Morgan, defensive end, Georiga Tech -- He gets to the QB off the edge, something they need opposite Trent Cole. Peter King thinks the Eagles will move up to Miami's 12 spot and take Morgan, who hails from Coatesville, PA.

If they stay put...

4. Kareem Jackson, cornerback, Alabama -- Nick Saban knows how to coach D. And he loved coaching Jackson. That's good enough for us.

5. Taylor Mays, safety, USC -- Three months ago Mays was a sure-fire top 10 pick. Then he went to the combine and ran a slower than anticipated 40. Presto! Now he's in a free fall. He's a great college player who will be an NFL starter.
