Eagles pick Wisconsin’s Ikegwuonu, a corner with some baggage (Philadelphia Daily News)

A lot of NFL teams would have passed over Jack Ikegwuonu yesterday, even if he weren’t recovering from a knee injury that is expected to keep him out until 2009.

The University of Wisconsin cornerback is facing a felony charge of residential burglary and a misdemeanor charge of criminal trespass for allegedly stealing an Xbox from an apartment in November 2006. He also had a positive drug test at Wisconsin last year, according to published reports.
