Eagles Draft Needs / Eagles Draft Board
Urgent: The franchise left offensive tackle to takeover for Tra Thomas, who will probably leave via free agency, must be drafted assuming Todd Herremans stays at left offensive guard. A franchise do-it-all running back to backup and in a few years takeover for Brian Westbrook is needed.

Strong: A free safety to eventually take over for the great but venerable Brian Dawkins must be drafted. A powerful wide receiver to play opposite DeSean Jackson must be drafted. A franchise tight end to bring the offense to the next level and to supplant L.J. Smith must also be drafted.

Moderate: Another corner for depth and an upgrade at punter would help. A fullback who can open holes in short yardage situtations and a power short yardage running specialist who will gain needed yards up the middle are needed.

Nice to Have: Philadelphia loves to stockpile talent by drafting best available players who fit their scheme.

Wild Card: Who will start at both offensive tackle positions next year?
