But….we lost the SB by 3 freaking points. Would a S have made the difference? Really hard to believe it wouldn’t have really.

But now we got Carter. So instead of stuck giving up everything going All In…one season…we rolling on our first ever Dynasty!!!

Agreed 100%. Howie doing what Howie does well.

With that said, starting the process from Pick #16 (or even #19) it is a whole lot easier than when you start with Pick #32. However, #32 does have special leverage for a team looking to get the 5th year option that comes with a 1st Round pick. Howie knows very well how to take advantage of leverage.

Just for Ham,

I was thinking as an option we could have traded back to early second round. So still added picks. But drafted top S. There was a tier of four S options that draft fought there. But….all along I was scheming of how to gut somebody for a top ten pick. Which is exactly what Rosie accomplished grabbing from the Saints. Not usually one player focused so much. But Jalen Carter I knew was huge.

But…it was definitely the popular opinion belief Rosie was loading up to go after the franchise QB in 2022. Trust me …all I was hearing…along with all the other nonbeliever in Hurts. Nobody was sold on Hurts as the franchise QB for sure. I couldn’t find anybody even believed he was starter material.

Rosie had stockpiled all that draft ammo. Traded off his franchise QB. GM wasn’t forcing the HC to treat Hurts like he should be prioritized like a Franchise QB either. Then Rosie was scouting Pickett like a fiend. Terrible QB class…that draft. I mean Pickett looked like he needed to be developed to be a backup QB to me.

Our whole franchise was changed and saved in 2021 by the impossible Hurts pulled off. Nobody could have survived that season. AJ never would have been an Eagles. Pickett would have been franchise QB. Siri doesn’t get a second season most likely.

You can basically thanks the Saints...for Dean, Carter and DeJean too. 2022 3rd ( Dean) 2023 1st ( Carter) 2024 2nd ( DeJean)

Completely fleeced the Saints due to their eagerness to get the instant satisfaction of a current year draft back in 2022.

Olave was a good pick

We know.... we all knew that from the beginning... except for one guy who only is a fan of one player that apparently thought the only reason why the Eagles made the trade was to replace his favorite player.

So laughable!!! I mean I was the only guy knew we weren’t going to need a QB. Every single other person was hunting for a QB…especially you.

He’s making up lies. I think if you’ve figured anything out by now…it’s that I was the ONE guy who actually knew we had our QB already.

Ok…so try to even make any sense of this statement at all. I knew Hurts had ‘It’…in 2021. Can’t be denied, right? Only one around here that believed in Hurts. But the guy who knew we had our QB …was worried about getting a QB in the future some how? I was the only one realizing we could use those picks elsewhere in fact.

Even though you missed all the whole board against me…because I knew we needed to dump Wentz for Hurts. All you heard here was….but Wentz was MVP level in 2017….you at least just have to know I wasn’t the guy believing we’d need to find another QB. We had our guy. Hurts had tons of ‘It!!’

So ludicrous! Every other person here was thinking we had ammo to grab a QB the next season…EXCEPT ME

I never bought into Pickett either. If any of that mattered.

Geez…just can’t even deal with or quote the truth. How bad it is. You can’t even just take something I said and counter off that. Nope…just gotta make up some fake fairytale story..,try to make me look bad and wrong that way. Pathetic!!! Weak!!!!

I wanted a parade after 2022. So my thoughts were about shouldn’t we be ‘All In?’ Like not just don’t trade away a first round pick for after the Super season happens…but actually thinking about how most teams trade the future picks instead really going for it.

So I volunteer my hesitation about the trade. It actually was an idea we already brainstormed here before it happened. We talked about exactly how could we get a top ten pick that next draft for Carter?

So my thoughts were trade back and grab a S. Add draft picks while filling out that crucial S we were missing. Turned out right before the season started….the S room was sooooo bad….Rosie had to do something…anything. Ceedy Duce was a lucky break to find…because we were trading for some S regardless.

So my thoughts about a S were very well founded thoughts. That’s before we went through the whole draft ignoring the position also.

But….always…getting Carter was first priority!!!

I was hesitant. Because wanted to win the SB. We lost by 3. Had nobody could tackle or cover on D in that SB either.

My very specific detailed assessment was it’s got to be a top ten pick the next season for me to like the trade. Exactly all along my stance!!!! It exactly became pick 10. We needed to get to 9 however.

Completely butchered my thoughts about the Saints trade, No Mas. I had everything exactly nailed down!!!!

Had to be top 10. Need to get Carter….he’s a BEAST!!!

Even my hesitancy about it being a great shot at the Lombardi was spot on. Identified right at the start of the draft our need for S. Forced a trade for CGJ. But…a top S sure would have been great these last years, right?
