Who would have thought that things would have turned out this way? Philadelphia Eagles fans who saw the 2010 NFL Draft probably thought when Andy Reid and company traded up in the first round, they were doing so to select Earl Thomas as they had been unable to fill the void they had at safety after allowing Brian Dawkins to walk during 2009’s offseason.
Instead, “Big Red” did what he normally did in most selection meetings that he was a part of. He looked for someone to contribute in the trenches as he went with a defensive lineman on Day 1.
