Time for post-draft comments

I admit it, as much as I think everyone is full of hot air right after the draft, I do enjoy reading it. 

I found this item from ESPN's Len Pasquarelli (why am I reading ESPN.com?! I hate ESPN) on Jeremy Maclin, who you may or may not have heard was the Eagles first pick:

"Missouri's Jeremy Maclin, Philadelphia's selection at No. 19, doesn't play as big as his size (6-1, 208) and isn't as quick on the field as he is running for a stopwatch.

"The Eagles have five veteran receivers, including 2008 second-round pick DeSean Jackson, and Maclin could find it difficult to carve out playing time as a rookie."

He could be right I guess, but I have a tough time believing that they aren't going to make sure he carves out playing time.  This didn't seem like a project pick at all.
