When the Eagles called Danny Watkins Thursday to tell him he was their first round pick, he had an instant reaction: "I thought it was the wrong number."

Of course he did. He's 26. He doesn't have a particular offensive line position. He didn't have lengthy contact with the Eagles during the selection process. He was a fireman who went to junior college and tried out for the football team on something of a lark.

He may be great. That's up to him.

"He's a blue collar guy," Andy Reid said. "The people here will appreciate that."

The draft continues Friday. Maybe they will draft a plumber.
