How will Donovan McNabb accept having Kevin Kolb as a potential threat behind him?
Heading into the draft, the Eagles really didn't have many needs. They fixed the linebacking problems by trading for
Takeo Spikes. They've drafted well on the offensive and defensive lines for years.
Kevin Curtis was signed to help the receiving corps. Other than taking safety
Brandon Meriweather, who wasn't available when the Eagles selected, Andy Reid's best option was to trade down. Kolb wasn't in the plans for the Eagles. He just fell to them, and Reid made the pick. If you're McNabb, though, you have to question the rationale behind the pick. The Eagles didn't draft Kolb to be the inactive quarterback from week to week. Although Kolb probably will be the No. 3 in 2007, the Eagles will try to groom him into being a potential starter. McNabb just got over the bad emotions of the
Terrell Owens signing. He had just reasserted himself as the leader of the offense. Now, he might have to be looking over his shoulder.
