Players that the Eagles have selected:

1. WR Limas Sweed
2. MLB Curtis Lofton
3. OG Eric Young
4. OLB/SS Wesley Woodyard
5. RB Mike Hart
5. CB Terrence Wheatley
6. DE Johnny Dingle
6. ...

And my current top ten:

1. QB Dennis Dixon (Oregon)
2. SS Jamie Silva (Boston College)
3. RB Justin Forsett (California)
4. OG Donald Thomas (Connecticut)
5. WR Kevin Robinson (Utah State)
6. TE Jacob Tamme (Kentucky)
7. DE Ken Iwebema (Iowa)
8. TE Kellen Davis (Michigan State)
9. CB DeJuan Tribble (Boston College)
10. DT Letroy Guion (Florida State)

At this point there are a couple options for the Eagles, but they've reached the point where they are just looking for people that can contribute. Despite the fact that he is BPA at this point, QB Dennis Dixon is not that player, because the Eagles are loaded at QB 1 through 3.

DE Ken Iwebema was a part of the conversation the last time the Eagles picked a few slots ago, and he's still a prime consideration here, although he'd be doing battle with Chris Clemons and Johnny Dingle for playing time. The Eagles do need a third DE that can play a good number of downs, though.

SS Jamie Silva plays at a position that is far less of a need right now, but his value is undeniable. Again, the Eagles invested in Woodyard in the 4th who could be faster and stronger, but Silva is the intelligent, nerves-of-steel safety the Eagles could use.

So at this point it comes down between Iwebema and Silva. Both players would hedge the Eagles' bets at either S or DE. Both players I value as late 5th rounders. Both players have injury histories.

The Eagles ultimately decide that the quality of safeties in UDFA isn't that much of a drop from the safeties in the 6th -- and they have a couple in particular targeted as steals. The depth at DE is much weaker when the 7th round comes about, and there's a chance Iwebema could be a fantastic value pick if he stays healthy.

With the 182nd pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select DE Ken Iwebema from the University of Iowa.
