First round pick Lane Johnson has the biggest upside of the Eagles draft picks, but the surest pick the Birds made during the draft was the selection of Stanford tight end Zach Ertz.

I loved what I saw last night from the tight ends. Both Brent Celek and Clay Harbor had good games especially Harbor. Celek did a nice job with that hook and slide route which he ran.

Despite the Eagles reliance on the deep ball, I think the most important receiver which Michael Vick needs to be on the same page with is his tight end Brent Celek. Vick and Celek started singing the same tune as the season drew to an end, so I’m very hopeful that they can get it [...]
