The NFL Draft

The Eagles traded their #26 pick to the Cowboys, and ended getting the 32nd overall, and drafted Houston Quarterback Kevin Kolb. Looking at the link, from NFL.com, he looks like he had a pretty good college career, started all 50 of his college games, threw 85 touchdowns, 31 interceptions, connected on 61% of his passes for a total yardage of 12,964. He also ran for 21 touchdowns. He is 6'3" and weighs 220 pounds.

Looks like the Eagle found their heir apparent for Donovan McNabb, who has had injury problem the last few years, and is 30.

This pick really surprised me. I thought for sure, the Eagles would go for a stud linebacker, or offensive lineman. But in thinking about it, with all the injuries that McNabb has had, and the complexity of the West Coast offense, I think this may turn out to be a good pick after all.

I bet mama McNabb is not a happy camper right now

Welcome to Philadelphia Kevin. Good luck to you.
