Most of the Eagles coaching staff is heading to Indianapolis today for the yearly NFL combine.
They've been working hard at the Nova Care complex for the last couple of weeks. The staff has been finishing up evaluations of their current roster and this year's free agent crop.
Now the coaches and the scouts will get a chance to get on the same page at the combine on this year's college talent. The scouts have graded the talent, now they'll put those evaluations up against what the scouts see at these workouts.
The Birds staff will be looking especailly closely at the offensive tackles, tight ends, safeties and running backs. They need immediate help at those positions.
As important as the workouts and physical examinations are, the interviews maybe even more important.
Many times the teams give themselves away by which players they spend the most time interviewing.. It's also gotten to the point where teams will talk to certain players, in order to throw off the rest of the league and the media on which players they want to draft.
