More on why Eagles should draft Knowshon Moreno

When I said the Eagles should draft Knowshon Moreno if he miraculously happens to be available by the time the Eagles pick, some people loved the idea and others criticized it because “no runningback is worth a first-round pick” and the Eagles need a “big back.”Although a “big back” would be nice, an “extraordinary back” would be better.  Do the Vikings regret drafting Adrian Peterson?  No.  Do the Cardinals regret passing on him?  Yes.

I’ll throw another fact out there.  How much do you think Marshawn Lynch weighs?  I would guess that he’s about 230.  At least that’s the weight at which he plays.  Marshawn weighs 215 lbs.  Knowshon is 207 lbs. and only 21 years old.  Not a big deal.

Knowshon runs hard!  Don’t give me the he can’t get a 3rd and 1.  Knowshon is the next great back coming out of college.  Knowshon is the Eagles’ Brian Westbrook v. 2.0, not Lorenzo Booker.
