What position do you feel is most glaringly deficient on the Eagles that needs to be addressed via free agency or the draft?
QB HB FB WR C T G DE DT LB CB
Unfortunately, I am forced to list more than 1/2 of the positions.

I feel that a OLB that can either cover or rush the QB (b/c ours can't do either) is the most important position to address with WR being a close 2nd.

I'd say DE. This particular post woulda made a good "poll". I'll go with DE cause the ones we have are way undersized. 250lbs going up against 300+lb O-lineman just aint cuttin it.

Yeah, a DE should be quick, but we have to have guys who are strong enough to occasionally bull rush and defend the run as well.
Kearse and Cole got owned last game by the tackles.

Kearss greatest strength is running down players from behind and Cole isnt too good against the run, atleast for now. No doubt, we both agree, that are greatest needs are on defense now. Dawkins has also been having a bad season and i am wondering if its age creeping up on him.

I think we'd be lucky to get 1 more decent season from Dawk. He seems to have lost a half step.

I hope that he would be willing to such an agreement and not try to go somewhere else. Hopefully, there won't be a repeat of what happened with Troy Vincent.

If i remember correctly dawk was signed to basically a lifetime contract with the Eagles. The most i could maybe see happeneing is the Eagles asking him to take a pay caut. I think the $hit would hit the fan if that happens.

Yeah, Dawk is definitely a fan favorite.
