PHILADELPHIA -- When Donovan McNabb reported to work Friday for the first day of his team's three-day post-draft minicamp, he liked most everything he saw.
It's what the Eagles franchise quarterback didn't see that left him unusually willing to speak his mind in his first extensive critique of Philadelphia's offseason decision-making.
He didn't see former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas, one of the team leaders in recent seasons. He didn't see return specialist Brian Mitchell. He didn't see linebacker Shawn Barber. Or receiver Antonio Freeman, running back Dorsey Levens or punter Sean Landeta, for that matter.
In an uncharacteristically forthcoming session with the media on Friday afternoon, McNabb reacted to the Eagles' loss of those veterans in free agency, terming the exodus of productive and proven players "tough to swallow."
