No Wright

After the smoke cleared, Manuel Wright, the defensive tackle prospect from USC in whom the Eagles were rumored to have interest, was the only player picked in today's supplemental draft--by the Dolphins in the fifth round (more here). While some sources said the Eagles were interested in using a second-round pick from 2006 on the raw Wright, most people believed he would be picked in the third or fourth round. That he slipped to the fifth round may have been the result of a mixed workout for scouts where he ran a quick 40 but benched fewer reps than the average DT.

Drop back later, as I have a big announcement (for me, at least) about the future of this blog.
