player positions[edit]

Some of the positions listed for the players are not correct. Leonard Renfro was a DT, Ben Smith a CB, and Lester Holmes was an offensive lineman (I remember him as a guard, but he may have been drafted as a tackle). InsultComicDog (talk) 11:12, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well the following link is the reference site for the first round drafts [1] over there it said DB, so i chnaged it. i didn;t check any others. You can check if you know some of them are wrong and maybe help by fixing. and thank you. Gman124^talk 12:07, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

also fixed the other two as well. I guess someone needs to recheck all the positions from references. Gman124^talk 12:10, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

but on the NFL site it says what was recorded earlier see this. so which page should we refer to, the NFL site or Philadelphia Eagles site? Gman124^talk 12:13, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So, reverting what i did, until its sorted out which one is accurate. though some players do change positions. Gman124^talk 21:43, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the NFL site, there is an obvious typo. Holmes is listed as "GD" and Renfro as "T". There is no such position as "GD", the "D" belongs on the next line before the "T".InsultComicDog (talk) 23:53, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Smith apparently did play FS for the Georgia Bulldogs. I did not know that; on the Eagles he didn't play any position other than cornerback. So he very well could have been drafted as a safety.InsultComicDog (talk) 00:01, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To me it seems like the eagles have the positions that the players actually palyed, rather than the ones they were under when drafted. Gman124^talk 02:25, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeh i guess thats a typo. though i don;t know where the S came from for Holmes' position. fixing that. Gman124^talk 02:31, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do remember all of these guys going back to the late 60's (Rossovich) and the positions at least that far back are now correct to my recollection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by InsultComicDog (talk • contribs) 05:03, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
