I just think they handled the situation badly all around and we were left with little choice. Like Ertz. I was a bit miffed they moved him overnight. I didn't like how that was handled either,but the offer was apparently good enough for Howie
March 30, 20242 yr Just don't like seeing us get weaker at a position. If we had to cut him we would have only gotten a 3rd rd comp. Jets seem all in, we were in an impossible situation with an older guy who wanted paid.

Beebe is on my mock as well as Ainias Smith(best slot in this draft),but Brendan Rice offers more utility
March 30, 20242 yr Author I like this kid better than Schrader for our last pick,but I'm going with the TE below
March 30, 20242 yr Author Jerry Rice's son,but I think we take someone else where he is supposed to go and take Ainias Smith later
March 30, 20242 yr Author This kid is being under rated, I would snag him with my last pick. Currently going as UDFA but I feel he is draft worthy. He also is above average as a run blocker. Sounds like a nice #2
March 30, 20242 yr Author I like the guys the Eagles had visits with,so here is my new (and maybe improved) mock. I did research on them all and I have to say the Eagles know what they are doing 1-22-Laitu Latu-Edge-UCLA 2-50-Cooper Beebe-IOL(RG)- Kansas state 2-53-Javon Bullard-S-Georgia 4-120-Trevin Wallace-LB-Kentucky 5-161-Ainias Smith-WR- Texas A&M 5-171-Jarrian Jones-CB-Florida state 5-172-Krystian Boyd- DL-Northern Iowa 6-211- Tanner MCLachlan-TE-Arizona

Lots of talent in this draft

I just think they handled the situation badly all around and we were left with little choice. ???? What do you mean? They handled it the best way possible. They allowed the player to explore trade options. They gave him control. The ability to find his value. You don’t think the players and agents around the league see that and appreciate that??? Then as you say, the value " isn't terrible" ...I think it's pretty good if it ends up being a 2nd round pick. You don't think the idea that Rodgers only plays one more year entered their mind? It's probably why they wanted 2026 and not 2025? The pick absolutely has the chance to be in the 30s. Other than you wanting Reddick to play hear.... how did the Eagles not handle the situation well?

Nothing against Boyd,he's young a talented enough to play in time if the keeps progressing

We can disagree about the 1 pick,but he's the only first round lineman we visited with. And while this is not set in stone,it's a little indicator to me. All the RG's we visited will go after round 1 which is fine. Nothing wrong with a round 2 IOL. I know we looked at Brenden Rice(Jerry's son) who is a better WR than Smith,but they are different types. I prefer Malik Washington from Virginia,but Smith was my first "call" and IMO the TOP slot WR in this draft. It would be a great addition to the room and he can start now or work his way in and start next year since we got Parker and Campbell already. I'm old enough now that we are seeing stars sons appear in the draft process(McCaffrey and Trotter also)
March 30, 20242 yr Author So the Jets got Reddick and we got Huff from them. We got a future round 3 possible 2 future pick in addition. Almost like a player swap with added draft capital. Seems to me we made out in that scenario
March 30, 20242 yr Author I have seen some mocks that have Latu going at 8(and I think that is way too high). I doubt Howie would jump that far,but I think we see a QB and WR run early enough that he could fall within range for a possible move up

March 30, 20242 yr Latu a curious injury history, esp when the docs told him to hang it up and he goes out and balls. HR's hired a few of the walking wounded.

That was 3 years ago,he healed up,transferred from Washington and has been kicking ass ever since. He wanted it so bad he worked overtime to get back
