Odd Second Day So Far

THIRD UPDATE:  OT Fenuki Tupou at 159.  Finally picked up a lineman.  Looks like a true tackle or guard prospect.  Too tall to play center. 

SECOND UPDATE:  CB Victor "Macho" Harris out of Va. Tech at 157.

Positives: Natural playmaker. ... Versatile athlete with the skills to help at multiple positions. ... Alert zone defender. ... Reads the quarterback's eyes and closes quickly on the ball. ... Reliable open-field tackler who flashes explosiveness as a hitter. ... Willing to dirty his jersey against the run. ... Good lateral agility to elude blockers and will come up aggressively in run support. ... At least adequate hip flexibility and straight-line speed. ... Natural hands for the interception. ... Can track the ball over either shoulder. ... Good leaping ability and times his leaps well. ... Can highpoint passes and shows the strong hands to snatch passes out of the air. ... Reliable hands as a returner. ... Good vision and burst as a returner.

Negatives: Might lack the hip flexibility and straight-line speed for man coverage. ... Inconsistent press technique and lacks the burst to keep up with faster receivers if he misses his initial punch. ... Likes to go for the intimidating hit and will occasionally fail to wrap up properly when dropping his shoulder into the ballcarrier. ... Plays a flashy, emotional game and can get carried away on the field, drawing penalties.

Another guy who can return kicks.  Sounds like a good guy to throw into the mix on special teams.

Also, Gruden is going nuts talking about how good McNabb is.

UPDATE:  Ingram is the pick at 153.  Certainly not a safe choice. 

Here's the scouting report: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/502391

The good part:

If he is fully recovered from knee problems, Ingram has the ability to be a nice second-day draft find for a team looking for a motion back to stretch the field.

The scary part:

Questions about his health are justified, but more questions need to be asked about his desire for the game before someone can invest anything more than a mid-to-late round pick on him. Those that compare him to Dallas Clark (Indianapolis) or Vernon Davis (49ers) need to check his dedication level first.

The Eagles really must be feeling pretty good about their roster right now.  They're letting an awful lot of potentially useful players slide by.

The Hobbs pick-up is a little surprising.  By reputation at least, he's struggled a bit since coming into the league.  He's especially not great at matching up against larger receivers.  Which means we've got three possible explanations:

1. Patriots made it known they were moving him and the Eagles saw him as nothing more than good depth.
2. They're ready to move on from Demps as their kick returner and they can afford to carry another corner who averaged 28.5 yards per kickoff return last year.
3. They like the way Hobbs can match up with the smaller quicker guys and don't have a corner who really excels in that area. 

All three are possible.  Maybe even a combo platter of all of the above.  It will be interesting to see what Reid says.

Now about that tight end...

James Casey is still available, as is Cornelius Ingram.  There's a contrast for you.
