The Eagles look pretty well stacked. They have a huge offensive line, with Winston Justice playing adequately at right tackle. The skill positions look solid.
The defensive line has a nice rotation at defensive tackle, and those tweener ends that get to the quarterback are there. The defensive backs are a little small, but they cover pretty well. The Linebackers played very well in the system last year.
This year three of those linebackers-- Omar Gaither, Ernie Sims, and Stewart Bradley (arguably their three best linebackers )-- could all leave as free agents.
So linebacker makes sense. North Carolina's Bruce Carter is an athlete that could replace Sims on the outside or challenge Moises Fokou and Akeem Jordan on the left.
If all three linebackers return, the Eagles could go with a big wide receiver to complement speedsters Jeremy Maclin, DeSean Jackson and the steady Jason Avant. They could even go with an offensive tackle.
But at this point the team's needs and the players who fit those needs with a high round-grade match best at linebacker, so the Eagles will "settle" for Carter, leading Eagles' fans across the globe to boo.
