Eagles need Auburn's K Wes Byrum

Wes Byrum needs to get drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, so long as there's an NFL Draft.  He won the Auburn Tigers a national championship - rare air for a college kicker.

The Eagles fans were watching last night thinking, "why couldn't our kicker do that?"  Sure, Akers is 82% on field goals throughout his career.  But this Eagles team was supposed to go to the Super Bowl.  Michael Vick was a hero all season.  MVP.  Comeback player of the year, sure, maybe.  Goat?  Nope - he personally accounted for 12 of their 16 points.  The goat?  Come on down David Akers - had he made the 34- or the 41-yard FG, they'd have been in a little better spot.  They could have attempted a FG late to win it.  Just saying. 

Sure, Akers has been great for the organization.  He's been an Eagle for a long time - 188 of his 189 career games are with the Eagles (1 as a Redskin in 1998).  Your time has come and gone.  Ask Jeff Reed out in Pittsburgh.

Wes Byrum needs to be in an Eagles uniform.  New blood!
