21. Philadelphia Eagles

04/15/09- Chris “Beanie” Wells RB. Even though I made no special attempt to watch Philadelphia games last year, I still seem to remember several occasions when the Eagles were stuffed on absolutely crucial 4th-and-1 rushing attempts. I have all the respect in the world for Brian Westbrook, but he is another RB who (1) will be 30 before the season starts, (2) is not the big RB that can consistently convert those short yardage situations, and (3) has been dealing with knee issues since the time Pennsylvania became a state. I’m convinced Andy Reid sees Wells as a short-term change of pace back for Westbrook who can also take over as the fulltime back when Westbrook shuffles off this mortal coil.
