Bucky Brooks: Giants would offer chance for Russell Wilson to win Super Bowl

 

On the NFL Network program NFL Total Access, analyst Bucky Brooks said that two teams -- the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants -- would offer the Denver Broncos quarterback "a chance for a Super Bowl title."

"He can be a championship-caliber quarterback on the right team," Brooks said. "The New York Giants might be in need of a quarterback that stabilizes the situation."

I wasn't very impressed with Trotter's tape.  Barrett Carter looked quite a bit better to me at Clemson, and if that's your LB partner, that's not a great sign.  On first look I liked Cooper and Cedric Gray more, but I may need to look again.  

Trotter Jr isn't even in Cooper's stratosphere. Cooper is so much better. Cooper is an absolute stud.

Surely, they can't be serious?

It's an interesting (and somewhat subjective) discussion on what the Eagles biggest needs are, from a roster perspective.  Most folks know and can rank what the Eagles philosophy is as far as positional value.  For me, I would rank "need" as positions where the Eagles aren't even getting league-average play, and I try to take into account the overall NFL positional value.  I would rank the Eagles' present needs in order, as:

Free safety -- I'm not a believer in either Sydney Brown or Blankenship as quality starters at this point.  Blankenship is a backup/starter level player who makes plays from good instincts, but is a physically limited player for the position.  To me, he's not a fluid athlete.  Sydney Brown is extremely raw -- to the point he was hurting the team out there at times.  I'd like to see a really good "center fielder" type of safety, who can cover ground and cover up some mistakes from others.

Linebacker -- Nakobe Dean and Zach Cunningham having starting LB jobs next season is a depressing thought, and I think Cunningham played decent for the most part.  Eagles need a 3-down stud LB who can tandem with a less talented one to make look good -- a la Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen.

Nickel CB -- the Eagles simply can't afford infirmary Maddox anymore.  He's a lousy outside CB, pretty good slot CB, but not good enough to justify the time he misses or the money he's due to get paid.  Eagles need to find a good, young replacement.

WR3 -- not sure where I stand on AJ Brown.  I think he's the best WR1 the Eagles have had since at least T.O., and I would argue he can be better than T.O. was as an Eagle.  I definitely think the Eagles need some AJ Brown insurance though, in case he implodes.  It's a deep WR draft; if there's a good one who is BPA at #53 I think the Eagles should consider it.

RG -- this depends on what the Eagles feel they have in Tyler Steen.  Is he going to be a starting RG?  Swing OT?  OL is a definite need, even if Steen slots into the starting 5.  

RB -- does DeAndre Swift come back?  If he's priced out of range, RB becomes an even bigger need.

TE2 --  Goedert misses time; not to the same extent as his roommate (who needs to be elsewhere), but he misses a fair bit.  Upgrading that position over Calcaterra and Stoll shouldn't be a tough ask.

DE -- with Graham either on diminished time or gone, the Eagles need a true DE with size.  If Reddick and Sweat are both here, they have two "speed-ball" EDGE types, but they need a DE to set the LOS.

 

That's eight positions already and I could continue.  Just typing this, I understand better why I'm let down after most drafts.  The Eagles will focus on the trenches, QB, and WR as building block positions.  That means me ranking FS, LB, CB as 1-2-3 leaves me hoping for some good free agent acquisitions.   

Free Safety - My biggest concern for Blankenship is health.  I think he's has flashed enough to show that he has talent.  To a large extent, I put the failure in the secondary last season on the coaches not the players.  Brown seems like more of a box safety and too stiff in coverage.  They need to add another starter preferably a veteran FA.  

Linebacker - They need a FA and a top 100 pick.  Dean should get a chance to compete and may well win a starting job but they need more talent.  Sign Jerome Baker and draft Liufau or Cooper. 

Nickel - I don't think they need to go all out for this position.  They have Maddox.  They could draft a player like Lassiter who has nickel experience.  

WR3 - I kind of agree.  

RG - It's kind of how I think of WR3.  My guess is Kelce may comeback but I wouldn't be against taking an OG in round 2.  

RB -  I think Swift will come back on a reasonable deal.  They should draft a RB as well. 

TE2- Is it TE2 or Goedert's replacement? TE could be a day 2 pick.  They should also consider a FA addition. 

DE - Is a need but really with Fangio it's more of an edge/OLB than 4-3 DE.  They don't need someone to set the LOS. They need better LB's to flow to the outside.

I am absolutely rooting for this to happen.

Just names?  Ojomo maybe, but Marlon T. Gets playing time and has trended upwards.  Carter, Davis and Williams played a lot.   Davis needs some body work (as does Ellis.). Ojomo was inactive learning the NFL game because of the numbers above him.  Booker actually shows some promise.  A year on the PS, was a fifth round choice of the Texans.  Excellent athleticism.  A LB level 3 cone and SS, while running 4.94 at 301 lbs.  Elliss is a JAG.  Are 5 DTs not enough.  

Ojomo is a name.  Marlon T is a bit of a name.    He's, at best, a part time player.  We have lots of part time players on this team.  

 
They have 3 DTs, and until we know what this defense plans to run from a scheme standpoint, we don't know if it is enough.  If they go 3-4, those 3 guys are the starters and behind them, they have very little.   No, not a top priority.  But then again, who knows what this team will do this offseason?  Would be nice if a first round pick were to play more than half the snaps some year.

2017 - Derek Barnett 41%, 22%, 68%, 48%, 64%, 1%, 8% (and gone).
2018 - no pick
2019 - Andre Dillard 29%, 0%, 30%, 3%, gone
2020 - Jalen Reagor do I even need to go into this one?
2021 - DaVonta Smith  FINALLY!!!
2022 - Jordan Davis 20%, 45%
2023 - Jalen Carter 48%
            Nolan Smith 16%

 

Not exactly a long and inspiring list of draft history.  Oh yeah, we traded a first round pick AND gave $100M to AJ Brown, because we were so bad at drafting WRs.

Lmfao they are not one QB away from a super bowl, I hope they go for it

I'm a Jalen Mills fan. I'm a Jordan Mailata fan. Relying on striking gold in the 7th rounder does nothing to boost my confidence in Howie's ability to draft well.

I don't disagree.  I think Ringo looks like he might be a player but beyond that it's only Maddox. Maddox has had one above-average season and otherwise been injured.

Jalen Carter is a special talent. He's not proven to be the guy yet. It's still fair to question his maturity at this point. Jordan Davis is only playing half the snaps. Milton Williams is in the last year of his deal. Marlon Tuipulotu is DT5 material. Ojomo (who I'm high on), played all of 68 snaps and is far from a roster lock. Elliss and Booker are future contract guys, or PS players. 

It sucks to say it because it seems they invest a ton at DT, but DT is still a need. 

If DT is a need, I can’t imagine the threshold for you to say a position isn’t a need.

I bet behind the scenes they’re happy with Ojomo’s upside as a versatile rotation piece. Marlon T is fine as your run of the mill backup nose. 

DT is not a need

Cooper Beebe is someone who is intriguing in RD2. Might be best pure Guard prospect in the draft. Would potentially lock down RG for next decade. If Lane plans on playing two more seasons, get his replacement next season. Still don't know what to make of Steen.

You're right. With Carter, they rotate all DTs anyway so 48% is good for a rookie DT. And he was #9 overall, DeVonta was #10 overall. Howie picks better that high because it's more of a no-brainer and there's probably more consensus among the scouts and coaches.

He gets outside the top 10 though...

It must be a wild experience to be a bartender in Indy when you have one random week in February you’re serving NFL legends as well as GM’s/HC’s and get to overhear the wildest game of whisper down the lane ever.

It's not a pressing need but it's one of those sneaky needs. Hell just 2 years ago they had to bring in Joseph and Suh just to get through the year and they were supposed to have great DT depth that year too.

I did something similar to this on deployment in 2014 and it was exhausting lol. I did gain 15ish pounds in like 6.5 months though. I don't think I could ever do that schedule again

I would be furious if we passed on Cooper for Trotter Jr. Cooper is just a better prospect. This is not a knock on Trotter, but he's just not as good.
