Anyone else over the Georgia prospects ballwashing by the media?

Sure, Walker was over-drafted, guys with those measurables always are. Davis maybe too. But every guy listed still has a chance to be very, very good. It's a well coached tree and these are top of the tree athletes.

It's because you're draft professional players and not who has the most highlights on the SEC on CBS (RIPPPPP soon).

When you're drafting that much from one school you have to wonder if the pro team is really keyed in on how they will fit in as NFL players in their scheme.

Well take someone like Smith. He could absolutely be too small and flame out. But he could also be the next Reddick, and he might be the next Reddick quicker than Reddick developed because he has Reddick to learn from. That seemed a decent gamble to me. They know how we MIGHT fit.

I get the point that playing on a stacked team can make you look good, but man a lot of these guys just...were good imo. I'm pretty certain the Eagles weren't just watching their highlights.

I mean other than Walker what are we using to say they're overrated or haven't worked out?

There's not enough history quite yet to gauge comfortably.

I'm just not a firm believer in just trying to look really good as a Kiper reviews your scorecard. Sure he gave your draft an A+ but how do those players fit in and help you win today?

Baltimore got themselves trapped in that game and we'll see if Philly does the same.
