Peterson tore his ACL with only a few weeks left in the season. Would Philly really want to take a risk on a player without knowing how they will recover from a major injury? you forget that J.

He is a big risk and I didn't even look into that before I put him down. Great point. Swap him out and put Andrew Jacobson from DC in his place. You're totally right.

Philadelphia probably will go with all of your choices except Gordon or Edwards. I still think Bryan Jordan will go.

He could be part of a draft day trade to pick up some extra draft picks or something. As for Hejduk and Albright, I know they'd be good picks but salary was an issue there in my mind. Hohlbein is another that would be good but I thought Besler was the better choice from KC. Honestly I went back and forth on Guevara.

I personally would like Union to go after Hartman, he has some years left and could be a solid keeper for a shaky expansion defense. For the price, Union might want Grabavoy or Riccetti over Russell. Convey? No way. Not unless SJ picks up half the tab. $220k, get out of here. If Union is going for a cheap GK, then might as well go with Conway (native Philly boy).

Also he is originally from New Jersey. Probably should have made that more clearer. Thanks, good catch. Also he is originally from New Jersey. Probably should have made that more clearer.
