ESPN Experts on Anthony Spencer
26. DALLAS COWBOYS (from Eagles)
DE ANTHONY SPENCER, PURDUE ? Profile | Highlights
CZAR'S FRONT OFFICE TAKE: Well, the Eagles proved me right ? they coveted Meriweather ? and ended up trading out of the first round with one of their NFC East competitors, the Cowboys. Dallas has had a good day, making that trade with Cleveland and getting Spencer, the only player in the Big Ten to give Wisconsin offensive tackle Joe Thomas any trouble. If you watched a lot of Thomas film, this Spencer kid showed up. Spencer fills a need with Greg Ellis (Achilles tear) on the sidelines and who can forget how awful the Dallas defense played down the stretch in December, especially at home? There is no doubt that Dallas had to make the trade because Spencer was being eyed by a couple of teams at the bottom of the round.
SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: Wow. What a turn of events. This place was going wild with Philadelphia brotherly love. The Eagles fans were singing the "Fly, Eagles, Fly" song, the "Rocky" theme blasting, and that bizarre rip-off the "J-E-T-S, JETS JETS JETS" chant in full effect. And then?Philly traded the pick to the Cowboys. Quick on his ipod, the dejay goes to the Dallas set ? cueing up the "Dallas" theme song as fast as you can say mash-up. The Eagles fans look defeated. One guy dressed in McNabb regalia, has the palms up, doing the whole upward palm "Why? Why?" routine. Pretty sure he's the same guy who booed McNabb when the Eagles passed on Ricky Williams to take him back in '99. Dallas takes Anthony Spencer, and the Cowboys fans applaud approvingly. After all, since that Quinn trade with Cleveland, they likely have a top ten pick for next year. Why not clap? Meanwhile, the Giants, Eagles, and Redskins fans join hands and sing an NFC East version of "Kum Ba Yah"?belting out a three-team-wide version of "Cowboys Suck." Really Touching. Kinda like that "American Idol" episode last week, minus the Sanjaya.
