The Eagles won't take a WR in the first round. I'm actually expecting Reggie Brown to have a huge year next year. Don't be surprised if Jason Avant gets a shot in the spotlight too. We're most likely taking a S or LB in the 1st. If Nelson, Griffin or Landry are still on the board, expect the Eagles to take one of them as the heir to Dawkins.

My 49ers have cap room for the first ime in I don't know how many years. They took out the Seahawks twice, if they hadn't choked in the Rams game they may have had a shot at the playoffs.

Another year with Norv tutoring Smith will be great, a couple FA pickups, and some draft a few guys for the secondary.

One thing about extra cap room and free agency. How many pro bowl caliber free agents that sign with new teams return to the pro bowl? Not many. Dree Brews was an excellent pickup for the NO Saints. But more often than not the player seems to fall off the face of the earth. Look at Kendrell Bell. He was huge for the Steelers. If you watch a Chiefs game, you woudn't even know that he was on the field.

Yep, probably has something to do with the fact that they got to the probowl working for their payday. once they get the big deal, it's tougher to get up in the morning.
