Sure there’s a week to go in the 09′-10′ NFL regular season. We’re not even sure exactly where the Birds will be drafting in the 2010 NFL draft. What we do know is, it will be somewhere at the bottom of the first round…as usual for the always competitive Philadelphia team. Many will argue, and correctly so, that densive end is the biggest need for the Eagles. One guy who should be available and, in my opinion, would be a terrific fit for the Eagles blitz heavy scheme is TCU’s Jerry Hughes. Hughes is a hybrid player, in the Terrell Suggs mold. He has an explosive first step and amassed 15 sacks in 2008, his first year as a full time starter and led the undefeated Horned Frogs in sacks (11.5) and tackles for losses (15) in 09′. On January 5, TCU will play Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. Keep an eye on Hughes and let me know how you think he’d look in Eagle Green!
