My two cents on Cooper DeJean...

The Fangio defense features the same pre-snap presentation followed by a lot of post-snap rotation in the secondary.  A versatile DB, like DeJean, would be a weapon in such a scheme.  Safeties like CJGJ, DeJean, possibly Brown, who can play deep and cover the slot, would allow for all kinds of coverage variations that could be used to confuse the QB.  And this doesn't preclude him of just being the best outside CB on the team and following the #1 WR.

I still believe they will go OL in round 1, even trading up to do so.  But DeJean would, IMO, be a solid pick at 22.

 

 

Correct.  I want DeJean.

If we can't get him,  I want Taylor-Demerson for those same reasons- the way we could change coverage assignments regardless of a team's motion. Knowing the safeties on either side can easily cover the slot motioning to their side.

Disagree strongly on this part.  I'd want no part of DeJean matched up on a WR1, especially on the outside.  He's a nickel or a safety.  He'd get burnt regularly by a speed WR1.

Wrong

I’ve said it before, but I’ll repeat it.  I would want no part of him.  I can’t see the value of trading the draft capital it would require to get him, and then the ridiculous contract.  Yeah he’s great, but not great enough…and he’s a distraction.  No thanks

I want every part of him. Parsons would be an elite acquisition in his prime at one of the most important positions in the sport. He's not that distracting, just says dumb things on podcasts? If i can trade #22 which will inevitably become a meh pick, a future 3rd, and Nolan I'm all over it. Issue is Cowboys would tax us more than than and we wouid need to send next years 1st on top of that I'd guess.

This years first, a 3rd next, and N. Smith for the best young pass rusher in the league? Done.

Yup.  I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on that deal.    BTW, the 3rd was listed as for 2026, not 2025.  So, its actually 2 years out... which would mean that its aligned with the draft where the Eagles have an extra 3rd round pick (possible 2nd) from the Reddick trade.

Wrong

I'm never wrong.  Full of crap, plenty.  But wrong is not in the vocabulary.

What DeJean is doing on tape is mostly attributable to him being extremely smart.  He's a very smart player who plays with anticipation -- he undercuts routes, he's good in the box near the LOS because he reads formations correctly, and those traits are also what helps make him a very good PR.  Those are all good traits.  

But .... he is not uber-athletic.  Nothing in his tape shows him winning with speed or agility.  That's why he's better suited to play inside as a safety.

Bill Polian says he's strictly a zone CB and definitely not suited to man coverage, although Polian felt he had dynamic ability as a PR (don't really agree to that extent) which helps make him a first rounder.  Both Simms (I know) and McCourty say he's not a first round talent as an outside CB.

Quote

Overall, Trotter is an instinctive hammer with the pedigree and toughness that will endear him to NFL coaches, although his limitations in space versusNFL athletes could restrict his next level role. His optimistic projection is that he can be like Chicago Bears’ linebacker T.J. Edwards.

Found this interesting in The Beast....does this mean we're taking him with a trade up in the 3rd or 4th?

Just not feasible in my opinion.  In another 2 years, Jalen Carter will likely be extended for more money than even Parsons.

But only if Brian Thomas is good enough and can fit into the offense like Brown or Smith do.    If so,  the Eagles would have put them in a position to save $20 Million a year. 

Adding Parris Campbell was a good boost to the offense at the mystery position,  which could be WR3,  could be TE2,  could be fullback,  or something else,  linebackers running routes and blocking.
 
Brian Thomas Jr I don't think is that versatile weapony guy.  His numbers look a lot like big and fast WR.  6027 and 209,  that's good size for a big wr.  4.33 40,  1.52 10 split and good jumps.   Legette had better ras,  due to Legettes much better bench,  and Legette being heavier.

using paco's diagram, that's these two times, even in the day there are shadows and over the distance it will make it look like half isn't there, it's not a hard concept.

 

here's how it looks from a telescope during a crescent during the day:

Oh boy, I'm in trouble now, paco has chimed in.

Herer's why paco's diagrams are silly, have you gyus forgotten we only see one face of the Moon, as if it's a flat plate facing us, in light (pun intended) of that, paco's sheet doesn't add up.

The Moon goes through its phases regardless of what the Sun does, you guys have been fed a lie concerning the Sun illuminating the Moon, all one has to do is take the temperature  in and out of the shade during a full Moon, you find that the temperature is lower out of the shade, meaning it's not a reflection of Sun light.

You and RandomReglar should shack up together. I honestly don't know which one of you would be Dunning and which one would be Kruger though.

I'm seeing Wiggins shoot up boards a bit. I get the concerns but the coverage skills seem great. Could end up being the best to come out of this class.  Could end up Sydney Jonesing it. I'm curious to see where he goes.
