Eagles No. 4 in power rankings
options
 

Yes, it's probably way to early for this kind of thing, but espn.com unleashed its first power rankings for the 2009 season. And where do your Eagles rank? If you read the headline, you know by now. ESPN's NFL bloggers have the Birds at No. 4 behind the Steelers, Patriots and Giants. Sounds rather optimistic.

Here's their take on the Eagles:

"With the additions of Jeremy Maclin, Jason Peters and LeSean McCoy, this should be one of the top offenses." Should.

Only 1,275 predictions to go until the season starts in September.

    I think they are number 3. No way are the Giants better than the Eagles. The Eagles have a great young defense, a way better QB, and a great receiver core, among other things. I think this year is the year.
