The Philadelphia Eagles have reeled in one of the potential steals of the draft on Sunday by nabbing Wisconsin cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu at the bottom of round four.
Ikegwuonu, who was rated as a potential first- or second-round pick, tore up his knee in January while working out in preparation for the draft, and criminal charges arising from the alleged theft of an Xbox raised a red flag in the post-Pacman era.
But Ikegwuonu is confident that his knee will recover, and just a few days ago he resolved the off-field situation by pleading to a misdemeanor.
Though he might not be able to contribute in 2008, it could work out to be a good investment for a team that will have Asante Samuel holding down one of the two starting positions into the next decade.

Jack was a disappointment this past season. Going in alot of people thought he would be one of the top Defensive backs in the country but was no way near that level. Also some attitude issues, this guy will be either boom or bust.

How often do “potential” steals become true steals? This is a team needing instant contributors, not “potential” steals.

Was it an Xbox or Xbox 360? If it was a regular ass Xbox then this was a bad pick. He could get in further trobule by jacking and NES or Sega Genesis.

i think the eagles should never ever draft for the present year. eventually, the other teams in the league who are good now might not be potentially good in a few years and then maybe the eagles will potentially look like geniuses. i hate the birds. they sure now how to ruin a draft party.

Lets send him a Play Station!

His new nickname practically wrote itself, besides xbox is much easier to pronounce then Ikegwuonu.

From the criminal report, he came back for the Rock Band drum kit when he had already snaked the XBox the previous day.
He got greedy and stupid. Welcome to Philadelphia.

I wonder if his legs gave out under the use of powdered pills?
