I’ll will stand my ground and say we should take Cooper think we should 100% invest in our secondary give them an infusion of youth and Coop can play CB or S gives the versatility we like from those guys to pair with other like Gardner, Maddox.

Would also allow us to look and deal Bradberry 

I would love to get DeJean,let him work some and learn.I don't lose Bradberry yet until I'm sure DeJean is ready. I doubt it would take him long and he can play 3 positions in the secondary. It would be beneficial to have that swiss army knife. The others may be better at ONE spot,but his versaility should be a BIG BIG plus

The Oregon OL honestly seems like the guy we want makes a ton of sense can play any of the interior OL. Should plug in day 1 as a starter.

Can be the C or the RG depending on Steen and Jurgens

And this isn’t me saying Latu isn’t worth it or that we shouldn’t take him it’s more I find it hard to see Howie admitting hey maybe Smith isn’t it so let’s get Latu over him

Well you could let Latu do a rotation,that way you know for sure his meds are ok. I suppose he will always carry that taboo,but if he's ok(and I'm sure us and others have done a through job) then why not? Not saying he will be the pick but I cant rule him out

I want Bradbury gone as soon as possible we have some other guys in the wings that could fill in fine hell even Maddox would be fine on the outside if he is stays healthy.

That’s fine but with Sweat/Huff/BG/Nolan someone isn’t going to be in the rotation. Hell one isn’t even likely to be active.

Feels pretty safe to assume Sweat/Huff/BG going to play so it would then be between Nolan and Latu for the last spot

Yeah Howie could pull a trade like he did with AJ. Instead of giving up draft capital. So IDK what Howie is going to do. Rumor is we move up for whoever that is. I just can't see the huge lift for a top RG. I like Beebe in 2 and he weighs what alot of the OT's do,so......

It’s easy to see us moving up for a top OL might not be your favored option but screams an Eagle move 

To be fair so would Latu a pass rusher my only hold up on him is Howie ego would feel like he is admitting Smith was a bad pick after 1 year

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

Yeah all I am saying is DeJean is a safe pick if Howie HAS to draft secondary. once you hit round 2 I think Howie would feel more shaky taking one. So you need to look at what Howie is most comfortable doing. IDK that we have had that high a secondary guy in on a visit EVER

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

Massive step for Howie to admit something that fast how long did we wait for Ms2 lol

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
