Who should the Eagles be targeting in the NFL Draft?

From my mock draft: Even with all of the offensive linemen the Eagles brought in during the offseason, they are still not playing well on the offensive front. Andy Reid, who loves to draft offensive linemen, will want to do something about that this year and draft the biggest offensive lineman available to help himself feel more secure about his own weight problems. He doesn’t have a starting offensive lineman who weighs less than 320 pounds. 330 pound Anthony Davis isn’t available, so 330 pound Idaho OG Mike Iupati will have to do. Think Andy Reid won’t draft an offensive guard in the first round, think again. He’s done it before.

He's done it when he had a need and someone he identified as a stud. The fact shawn could come back is one reason why they won't go OL in the 1st round.  The offense set a team record in points scored so the Ol could not have been that bad.  Not until they lost Jackson and had 3 subs starting did the OL play drop off.    He's going to load up on D with his 1st 4 picks and go for a OG/C in the 4th.    I think they need to draft to beat Dallas and the left side of the defense needs beef.  That's a 3 down LDE, a true SAM LB and an authentic, quality FS.   I'm hoping for someone like Carlos Dunlap a 6-6, 290 DE  in the 1st and a Nate Allen type FS in the 2nd,  Nate had  5  picks and is a very hard hitter.  In the 3rd go for the best CB available and AJ Edds LB of Iowa.  At 6-4, 245 and 4 interceptions he is a solid SAM LB with pass covering skills and a very high football IQ.   Dunlap, Allen and Edds could start.  There are several CBs there who can be groomed to replace Sheldon eventuially.    This is a deep draft  and even after this Reid has two 4th, a 5th and 6th and will get 3 compensation picks, 

From my latest mock draft (3/25/10): After cutting Will Witherspoon, the Eagles have a huge need at weakside linebacker once again. Missouri OLB Sean Weatherspoon has top 15 pick talent, but, like happens every year with a linebacker, he very well could slip out of the top 15 because of his position and the lack of need for it. The Eagles, needing a linebacker badly, will have to strongly consider a versatile playmaker like Weatherspoon here with very few other needs.
