OTR is getting inundated with good information today. A source close to the situation has contacted OTR with three primary targets the Philadelphia Eagles are eyeing up in the first round of this Saturday’s NFL draft. It is no surprise that two of them are offensive tackles, the highest one being Pittsburgh’s Jeff Otah. If Jeff Otah is not available at 19 or they aren’t able to trade up to get him, they also like Vanderbilt’s Chris Williams. Both OTs are supposed to be drafted in the top 20.
Surprisingly, the third player the Eagles like is a wide receiver, Michigan State’s Devin Thomas. The Eagles haven’t had any luck drafting WRs in early rounds and tend not to, but Devin Thomas is one of the highest rated WRs in this years draft. He possesses great hands, great speed and a build that is definitely fit for the NFL.
OTR will be very surprised if the Eagles somehow land Devin Thomas, but it’s not out of the question, considering the Eagles have tried trading Lito Sheppard and draft picks for every single WR in the NFL.
Cool. Looks like OTR’s sources read the Daily News just like I do.
Willie, you made me skim the Daily News after your comment. The difference is that I didn’t list 10 guys like they did. I reported the top three players they are shooting for. Believe what you want, sport.
Cool. It looks as if people read OTR…then try and rip it. But wait…they are still reading it.
