I’d obviously be stoked if one of my top tier players fell even further and could be acquired even cheaper. Skeptical any of those eight fall to 16. But it’s possible. That would be a pretty fantastic draft situation for us though. 

Who is pick 9?????(Still waiting for an answer)

Daniel Jeremiah mentions Latham, Mims and Guyton as likely targets for us at 22. Exactly the same three I’ve been mentioning. I’d put odds on the pick being one of these.

Then why do you want to move to 9?

Here is my thing.   For anyone to want us to trade all that for another WR....then they don't give a crap about finishing any puzzle.  

1. They want sizzle 

2.  They are desperate to put 12 all pros around the QB in fear he needs it.

3.  They absolutely just don't trust the scouts / front office to pick ,so they just combine them all into one high pick. 

4. They don't understand all the needs on the team. 

It's nice that Bleacher report puts put this stuff because they need clicks. But it's not well thought out. 

If a trade is made... from an Eagles perspective it should be made when they would see who is available.  Not guess.

I’ve been also liking Fatanua quite a bit. He’s seemingly ranked higher on most viewpoints I’ve seen however.

Ironically i just saw a mock with him being our pick at 22.

Yet we know that isn’t happening. Oline is the choice.

So you would prefer the Eagles to move up to get OL then at 9? 

I haven't paid attention much...but isn't there a stud G from Duke that is supposed to go around there?

Between Smith, A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts, the Eagles have given out a trio of deals worth up to $430 million over the next several years

Yet check out the cap hits.  Contracts done the right way!

Howie would have to break tradition to do it

Yeah these stupid mock drafts are everywhere. Completely worthless. Think you might be the only person having internet to have not put one together yet.

Barton. Yeah he would be a nice choice

Graham Barton from Duke I’ve seen projected as around our pick.

I’ve been highlighting him for his versatility. But not the highest ceiling prospect

By signing early to use more years to spread signing bonus.

Using  " option bonuses'

Some void years at the end.

Not so much backloading.   

But... you see " backloading " in the sense that we eventually have to pay.   I'm seeing it done in a way that is after the " guaranteed " money is done.

That leaves opportunity for 2 things.  

1 cutting a player who isn't performing 

2.  Restructure to bring down the cap hits even more.  Using leverage from the team perspective.

Naming every player in the top 25 is much easier to do since it's "likely" we will take one of them 🤣

Would we trade up for this stud G from Duke... idk who he is, was he one of your OL you had in that trade up to #9?

Maybe could trade back a bit from 22 or just choose at 22. Seen him ranked from about 22 to 55.

Nah... I liked that I'm the only one on the internet not doing a mock...perfect sense of humor. 

So I am curious about this Krystian Boyd kid. he said he had too many visits and couldn't fit us in for a meet. The media made it sound like a snub which it was not. So then my question is(he seems like a round 5 guy) why would a round 5 pick have that many meetings that he could not find any time for a contender????
