Did Nolan live up to his draft position? I mean he could take that step up this year,but can he? So I can't rule Latu out.he is a pass rushing madman(needs refined and controlled) but the talent is there and it's a Howie type pick(as well as O line). Like you I would still opt for DeJean

Didn’t get in the field we had Reddick/Sweat/BG hard to get on the field with guys entrenched. 
but again can Latu crack the trio of Sweat/Huff/BG they are going to get there snaps? 
Will Latu be able to beat our Smith? 
then again i come back to the will Howie essentially say he missed on the Smith pick after 1 season? 
 

Wouldnt rule out Latu or a pass rusher but I see it as so unlikely at this point

I see your point,but Howie will always do whatever to improve the lines. Besides Huff,it would also offset the sting of losing Reddick. Maybe smith isn't progressing as fast as Howie would like

I will check again,but I also think Latu has played DT. I could be wrong but I will go back and look

Well he took Hurts in round 2 after moving up for Wentz,so he has admitted failure before LOL

Some think it will be Fantanu so IDK

Hurts was a planned backup had nothing to do with Howie admitting a bad pick. That just the Eagles organization valuing backups same reason I thought we could have drafted a guy this year was leaning Penix but we opted to trade for Pickett

IDK what the reasoning was,it was surprsie pick for everyone

Fatanu,DeJean,Latu. Should be one of those

Good or bad the eagles overvalue 3 positions the OL the DL and the QB position. We going to pay top dollar for all 3 and invest majority of our capital on them. 
 

Reason I won’t rule out Latu completely as I’ve mentioned my hold up is Howie admitting a mess up not the talent of the player

It was a terrible pick Hurts has worked out but being a playoff team with no WR help and taking a QB round 2 just isn’t good team building.

Hindsight now we can say it’s great and worked out and the picks from Wentz has helped build the team even more but at that time was just the wrong move

But I'm also sure Howie know he needs to get younger secondary guys in here. Having to suck it up and do it,DeJean is the most safe pick he can make stepping out of his comfort zone

We have said this about LB position for how many years now lol

And as I said I don't recall having that high a caliber talent in on a 30 visit

True,that will always be ignored lol. We had Trevin in from KY at LB. I would take him at 120

What I will say could aid Cooper Dejean and make him appeal to us is his versatility. Can play either CB or S and if I recall correctly he was also a return man 

Think Dejean was a Punt returner 

3.5 more day and we will know

right,CB,S,slot he can play all 3. We can move him around for whomever we play. IDK with the new kick rules that return has much value now. IDk that I would risk him on punt reurns either

It would depend honestly if he is the 3rd 4th guy and we keep Bradberry…. Get him on the field however to make an impact… if he is the starter outside use him sparingly ie Djax(granted Dejean has to prove he is that caliber returner first)
