Cuse is correct. There is no controversy. Mcnabb is the starter 100%. I'm not sure if you watched any of the eagles games towards the end of the season, but his mobility was actually pretty good. The first giants game and a few others he was still recoverying from the injury. The eagles do have enough cap room. They often save about 8-10 million in cap each year just to have. They never overspend and always have extra. Now, acquiring chad johnson? I sure hope not, however i guess he can be thrown into the mix. But what I've heard is Lito shepard won't be an eagle by the end of the month and I'm assuming he goes somewhere on draft day or in the near future. So far I've heard Roy williams of detroit and anquan boldin. Haven't heard Chad Johnson and he makes less sense since he has the loud mouth and Andy Reid doesn't go for that and throw in their experience with TO I say they don't go down that road.
Regarding the draft, once again I agree with Cuse no way in my mind they draft a WR first round. I'm no pro scout, but a CB like jenkins or talib or the S from miami Williams are much more likely picks for the first round. The age of the eagles secondary is not young and Dawkins MIGHT have one year left of decent football so that needs to be addressed. If they don't got DB i say an OL if one slips. You can never have enough linemen and I'm thinking the birds dont really know if winston justice and max jean giles are going to pan out. I would say a guy like mario manningham would be a more likely pick for the eagles in a later round. They have 11 draft picks this year and I would think they would get 1 more quality one if they trade lito and dont get a big time player in return. So plenty of picks to spread around to all of their needs.
If you haven't looked, the eagles are one of the top teams favored to win the nfc so that tells me they are also thinking mcnabb will be the qb. Their best chance to win is with mcnabb and the team is built to win now not next year or in two years. After this year, then I say they might need to get Kolb in there, but that is a long ways away.
