I like Arnold better than Mitchell, but wouldn’t be mad at either.

Arnold shared the field with another 1st round CB and was clearly the superior boundary corner. 

Saban co-signing that only cements it.

I really think, between the weird mental makeup and being sent to Chicago, Williams is setting up to be a bust. Add on that the dumbest "analyst" on the planet (Nick Wright) is super high on him, and...bust risk very high. 

Everyone was super high on Lawrence, and he is a borderline bust at this point as well.

Prince was an underrated athlete.

I like Cooper DeJean.

I like Zak Zinter,  mostly because he was an AA Right Guard, and that is the closest thing to a need on the OL right now.

I haven't looked at that close at Malik Washington who you picked every time.  I'd go with Luke McCaffrey there.

Overall,  good.

That Quinyon Mitchell tweet feels more like a Broncos leak to drum up interest more than anything. They barely have draft picks and are probably desperate to trade back.

Indeed. At this point it’s all agent-speak and teams looking for suckers.

He’s just out of frame as usual.

if you look close,  you'll see an arm grabbing a wr jersey.

I agree trading up might not be worth it this year, but you can make the case for OT too, not just CB. Would they really give up a 1st and 2nd for an unproven OT who won't start on this team for at least two seasons? There's cons to every position. I could see them doing it for a CB though because their defense was embarrassed. If Fangio covets a corner, I think they will value his input. A good way to negate Brown and Smith making mega $ at WR is to have two cheap corners starting in 2025. Could have Arnold/Mitchell and Ringo(or another rookie) starting next year making pennies. And Howie probably views this as a championship window with Barkley and they want win-now players.

Also the Eagles love to over-correct and how badly they need a CB and the narrative they never take one, this could be the year they do it.

You mean to tell me that men who are 6 foot 7 have longer arms than men who are 5 foot 10?

I’m positively SHOCKED! How could this possibly be?!?!

I was shocked too when I figured this out.  

It's almost as if the shortest, quickest players aren't the tallest with the longest arms.

I'm saying this because we're comparing a bunch of potential 1st round CBs who have basically the same size arms,  and Shockingly,  those aren't the longest arms.

To be honest I have no idea what the DC was thinking putting our leggiest CBs into the slot and then having them run man coverage out of it. Mind bottling.

I remember hearing about this before, but never watched it until now.  It's a different generation and time, for sure. 

All the sports I used to play I can honestly say I never went up into the stands for my mom's consolation.  Guttural crying is another notch beyond that -- but we're in an age of acceptance .... I suppose.  We were raised as Generation X to keep those things private and in-house.

From a football perspective I would want to see how he responded on the field.  A bit concerning that two more losses followed before Williams shut it down for the Bowl game, then to see his backup QB go in and throw 6 TDs to finish the year.

An unproven rookie is not worth a 1st and a 2nd+. 

Depends on the player. Depends on the draft. One analyst I read (Solak I think) has Mitchell as his only defensive player with a top 10 grade. And one of only a few defensive players with true first round grades. 

If the difference really is that stark maybe it is worth it. That being said I agree with @LeanMeanGM.  That tweet reeks of teams/agents trying to drum up interest.

Only 50 hours to go. Probably on the clock in about 53.

I prefer Mitchell due to the upside, but him or Arnold is an immediate starter for us. They are both highly competitive CBs.

Latham would make sense at 12.

Immediate starter at RG and all-pro type upside at RT.

Roughly 50 hours from now, some people here will be happy, but the majority will be upset.

Nope, which is my point and why you don't make that trade. Not worth two top 50 picks. Pitt sat there and got a good one at the end of the first ladt year. Yeah, he might be better than the other CB, but not a 2nd round pick extra different.

I've never felt more just BLAH about a draft. There's no one prospect I'm dying for the Eagles to get. There's no one prospect that will piss me off. I'm numb to this draft process, which is strange because the draft is one of my favorite parts of an NFL season.
