from same link comments on Eagles pick--thank you as ever to the Bengals who drafted Peter Warrick instead.
<<6. Philadelphia Eagles - Corey Simon - DT - Florida State
They felt he wasn't going to be there at 6. And they were going to take Travis Taylor with the pick. They are happy they he was available for them at their pick. He's the best DT in the draft. He's a rare combination of 300 lb bulk, speed, 4.89 40. The most impressive measurable is his 41-inch vertical leap. That kind of measurable usually belongs to a great WR or DB, not a DT. It's more than rare.
He gives the Eagles an inside dominator that will quickly have to be double teamed. When that happens, Hugh Douglas and Mike Mamula will be single-blocked and should have a rise in their production. As for his shoulder, he's been given a clean bill of health and is ready to go. His impact on the Eagles defense will be similar to Warren Sapp's when he went to Tampa.>>
