Do you like Jennings more than Andre Brown or was Brown off the board when you made this pick?

I was hoping to get Brown also in the next round, but he was taken #68.

IMO, if Philly wanted to move up they'd probably do it with Denver and try to trump Washington. But if we were to work a trade, here's who I'd go with based off the DraftTek site (ain't no way I'm paying THR or any site for draft info - LOL).

1-21: Vontae Davis - CB
2-46: Eric Wood - C
2-53: Kenny Britt - WR
3-77: Andre Brown - RB
4-112: David Bruton - FS
5-152: Michael Bennett - DE
6-188: Mike Reilly - QB
7-223: DeAndre Levy - OLB

I hate waiting that long to take a OLB, but that's how the board played out.

Who is it that Philly would want to trade up for?

As TexanJedi pointed out, a OT. That's the only thing I can see them trading up for, although, they do like to have an abundance of quality young CB's, which I guess would put them close to the Jenkins/Davis range. I'd be surpirsed if this happens, though. Philly is usually pretty conservative with their picks and likes having multiple picks at that.

OTOH, they are the type of team that has no compunction with dealing up in the first to get a player they want. They dealt up to the mid first round two years in a row in 2002 and 2003 to get Jerome McDougle (ouch) and Shawn Andrews. Both deal-ups were to right around where we're at now. That's not to say I expect them to make a move, but you are right in noting that an OT run could cause a move up for them.

Could Oher or Andre Smith be available at #15? Perhaps the Lions would like one of them if Stafford is their 1st pick. If Sanchez is still on the board, the Jets or Bucs may want to trade up. Then their is the Philly scenario with an OT. We may have multiple offers to trade down from #15 so we could simply select the best one. The Bears could get into the action too

1. Det QB Stafford
2. Stl OT Monroe
3. KC LB Curry
4. Sea OT J. Smith
5. Cle OLB Orakpo
6. Cin DE Brown
7. Oak WR Maclin
8. Jax WR Crabtree
9. GB Raji
10. SF LB Maualuga
11. Buf TE Pettigrew
12. Den LB Cushing
13. Was RB Moreno
14. NO CB Jenkins
15. OT Smith, OT Oher, QB Sanchez, WR Harvin, WR Hicks, RB Wells

Philly is probably gonna try to meet some of D. McN. wishes of getting more weapons by making sure they get P.Harvin, who could also spell Westbrook at RB. Therefore, I could see them making this trade.
Using draftek my mock would be:


1-21: Connor Barwin - OLB/DE
2-46: Shonn Greene - RB
2-53: Louis Delmas - FS
3-77: Andy Levitre - OG
4-112: Ricky Jean-Francois - DT
4-122: Zach Follett - OLB
5-152: Sebastion Follmer - OT
6-188: Lee Robinson - ILB/OLB
7-223: Arian Foster - RB

UFA- Deon Butler - WR
UFA- Maurice Evans - DE
