Who to Watch in the Combine

The Eagles hold the nineteenth overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, which will be held New York City on April 26-27. As a result of their 2008 8-8 record the Eagles ended the season tied with three other teams - Arizona, Houston and Minnesota. By virtue of the toughest strength of schedule, the Eagles pick last of those four teams.
The Eagles have their own selections in rounds 1 through 6. Their seventh-round pick was traded to Buffalo along with defensive tackle Darwin Walker for linebacker Takeo Spikes and quarterback Kelly Holcomb. The Eagles also have two picks acquired via trade - from Seattle (seventh round) for fullback Josh Parry and from Cleveland (sixth round) for center Hank Fraley.
The Combine starts this week and will be televised on the NFL Channel. I will try to watch as much of it as I can. That said, these are the people I think the Eagles should be watching:
