Malachi Corley at WR3 might be worth investing a late RD2 pick. The more I watch of him and read about him the more intrigued I am about his NFL trajectory. Could really elevate the Eagles offense with two other great WRs on the edges.

Slot monster with huge YAC potential.

He is Deebo Jr.

A tinker toy that could infuse some creativity into what became a stale and predictable offense last season.

It's a want. I know there are more pressing needs that could be addressed at that pick.

But damn it would be fun to watch defenses try to defend Brown, Smith, Corley, and Goedert. Especially with Kellen Moore at the helm.

Been saying this for a while. He’s my biggest want at WR for the Birds. He’s an absolute slot beast but has the ability to fill in on the outside if AJ or Smitty miss some games. Deebo is the comparison I use as well.

Im starting to think I really actually like this RB class despite not great top tier talent. Feels like last years where you could find a ton of mid-round power runners.

Theres a bunch of guys who arent super exciting but can all fill a role in the rotation.

I keep looking at lesser known guys and wanting to make a new thread about almost all of them. I just saw Jase McClellan from Alabama and thought he looks like a poor mans Mark Ingram. Same build. Same running style. Take him over Gainwell for the tough yards 100/100.

Not explosive, but knows how to get N/S , take what’s there and falls forward. No fumbles and is good in pass protection - seems like a reliable cog.

man... Im watching a quick version of the senior bowl. Tez Walker had a disastrous week. He couldnt catch anything in the game either.

I felt like I was watching his career fast forward to Quez - beyond dropping everything, he doesn’t fight for the ball. Bad combo.

He actually (finally) looked like he was going after the ball in the last game (or 2nd to last game) of the season.  Probably the best he’s done since he’s been here.  Looked like he was playing "big” out there.

I think it is telling who the Eagles signed to future contracts.  A lot of focus on size.  I look for a larger slot WR this year.  They can’t continue to leave the middle of the field totally untargeted.  
 

 

Witg goedert and hopefully another te, i would rather have a dude like wilson that can get open

Quez? Yeah, with the possibility of more targets due to Smitty/AJ being dinged he seemed to play with more focus - problem is that he’s WR3 here and needs to consistently make the most of few opportunities.

So thankful for Nick Foles turning into Superman and finally winning us a title.  I have no expectation of ever getting another one.

Really like Corley too. Would be a great fit at slot with our current starting duo. A few other guys not rated as highly as Corley that may be there round 3 would be Troy Franklin, Jamari Thrash, Malik Washington, Ainias Smith. 

Dak is in year 9. Of it hasn’t happened yet….

I agree with many of these statements, but the Jrue Holiday move was made a full year before Embiid came to the Sixers and it could be argued that had they kept Holiday, that they wouldn't have been able to draft Embiid.   Trading Holiday was basically the first step in 'The Process'.  

I know it, just having someone like that would’ve solved all of our PG problems we went through. same with Grant at the 3/4 tweener. More-so wishful thinking on those.

And he most likely won't he is what he is. But I'm sure there are some delusional boys fans that are hoping he pulls an Elway and wins one late in his career

Certainly a good fit as a short throw YAC target out of the slot, but does Kellen Moore prefer a more vertical threat/route ace in his offensive scheming?

yeah Corley just doesnt excite me, AND doesnt seem like the best fit for what we will be doing.

Tez Walker was my least favorite of the top rated WRs.  The vast majority of his highlights were go routes; I didn’t see a route tree there at all.  He doesn’t make plays in the short, intermediate zones.

It's not about the player you can draft with the pick.  It's the fact that you need them to make blockbuster trades for stars. It has immense value. 

What assets do we have to trade for stars?  A couple of extra late FRPs? We got a bunch of expensive Geezers in the Harden trade. Paul Reed? Everyone minus Joel, BBall Paul and Springer are expiring contracts this season. No picks in 2025 or 2027. Not sure if we can trade 2024 Pick due to not having one next year as consecutive FRP rules.

Moore may slide Brown inside more too which would be a good idea. Maybe more of an inside outside guy to move around the formation when Brown does move in. 

Idk why we’re constantly begging for s vertical threat at the slot. We could put AJ or Smitty there and take the top off of the defense. We have 2 elite WRs who can win at all 4 levels, we’ve just severely misused them. Give me someone versatile who can catch the dang ball for our 3rd WR.

Getting open and catching the dang ball… enough speed (4.4s is more than sufficient) plus good route running and reliable hands. I don’t think a Kellen Moore slot is going to be running go routes all day clearing space, but it is useful to have enough speed to get on top of safeties occasionally and to get to the intermediate area quickly (at that point route running and understanding play design comes in).

Really idec about the 40 time. Run your routes with intention, when the ball comes your way catch it, or at least make a play on it lol. I think Aiyuk ran a 4.5. Jauan Jennings ran a 4.72. Deebo at a 4.48 and he’s their under guy. I just think we have a really robotic strange way of thinking about the composition of a team, where a scheme and putting players in positions to win is a million times more important than his fast your 3rd WR can run a straight line.

Sure.  But Elway got to 3 long before that final resurgence.

I see PFF reports like this and can't help but think that if they were elite, why did it seem like they could never get a run game going, couldn't stop a blitz to save their life and Hurts was always running for his life? I can't think of a game where the OL looked elite as a unit and just took over a game. 

 

The defense was too easy to defend, the outside WRs were the only true threat, Goedert was injured and dinged much of the season, no 3rd or 4th WR or 2nd TE you had to fear in coverage. So they saw a lot of 8 man boxes, man coverage underneath - hard to run against, and Hurts held the ball b/c frequently no one was open within 3 seconds. Play design and play calling didn't help - with his bad knee, no one feared him on the RPO, a bad combination of too many vertical routes and WR screens.

Jurgens was out of play at RG, that's a spot that will need to be upgraded when he moves to center.

Superbowl postpame preview

I think Super Bowl 58 has potential to be the highest rated and watched ever.

Super Bowl ratings have actually been going down since Super Bowl 49 for some reason. Average viewers dropped by almost 20 million at one point with SB 55. It shot back up last year though.

I think given the matchup between teams, it's a rematch, and plus tons of people will be tuning in to see Taylor Swift, I think it will break the record for total viewers, and potentially ratings, which SB 16(1982 Bengals/Niners) still holds that record.
