#24 - Philadelphia Eagles - Maurkice Pouncey - Florida

The Eagles have now traded away Donovan McNabb. The fans can't complain because they've been waiting for this day since draft night when he was taken over Ricky Williams. Other than that, this team looks good for another run at the NFC East crown. The offense is pretty set other than that. There will be some growing pains with QB Kolb being the new starter, but the team should be okay. The o-line knows how to block for McNabb, and now they will have to get used to Kolb. The receivers should have some chemistry with Kolb when he started a couple games last year, and hopefully they will be able to fine tune everything in the preseason.

Philadelphia could use a little help in the pass defense, where they ranked 16th in the NFL, more than the rush defense, which ranked 9th in the league. But, they can look at that later in the draft. The team can look at CB or S with their new second round pick at #37 because Pouncey is too good to pass up here. Upgrading the offensive line will help out the other new starter on offense, LeSean McCoy. Having a stable line can help keep the offense running efficiently and effectively. The offense is very young, with an average starting age of 24, so you would think they should go defense but upgrading the o-line is always important.

Expect the Eagles to compete with the Cowboys this year again for the division title because the young players like DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, and LeSean McCoy will be even better this year.
