Players can fall a bit for off field or attitude problems, but this is beginning to get to "folks, he really isn't all that good" territory.

That said, nothing excuses picking McCluster this high.

at the end of the day...

NFL teams know way more about these players than mock drafters...

that's why Campbell didn't go #8, and Clausen didn't go #1, etc. etc. etc.

I don't feel like getting into it right now but you've taken Clausen 1st, Gholston 1st and Campbell in the 1st round...

A couple of people reported in this thread that they heard it on TV. Apparently the Eagles were shocked.

Yeah, I would've supported taking Spiller because he filled three holes: running back, returner, and receiver. I'm not sure McCluster is going to be a running back in the NFL, but we need receivers and a returner, so I'll grit my teeth a little and be fine with it.

I'd sure like a nose tackle and a quarterback at some point, though.

Sal Palantonio said it. He said Nate Allen was the safety the Eagles wanted but not their top choice overall at the pick. They supposedly wanted McCluster and were shocked he was taken before them.
