Reinstated then released - why'd they keep him last season then? Weird 

They had some weird setup of committee in charge last season. New ownership group in now.

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/devontez-walker/32005741-4c12-5280-b9cc-679bea874bd8  This kid has been through so much CRAP. I will be so glad he gets drafted and gets more coaching that he needs. The NCAA jerked this poor kid around so bad. He needs time to come into his own since he was denied time for 2 seasons.This is a kid we could develop over time. Needs alot of coaching,but the raw skills and ability are there. A back burner who could turn out to be a nice investment down the line.

6'3" 200 pounds. There is no way Hurts can't see this kid. I think he ran under 4.40 at the combine. Could work out into a nice BU for AJ or rotational slot although he needs alot of work in that area Ranked as a 3rd rounder which I feel is high for the work/coaching needed,but he deserves more mentoring 

Happy Draft Eve everyone!

Reported rumors we are in talks with Denver to trade up to #12 the player we are interested in is Quinyon Mitchell.

Think this is overblown. Not sure he’s really the top WR even in his own class frankly. But he’s a very safe High Floor prospect.

I mean even if you lean Nabers it’s like saying 1a to 1b in these class…. But Harrison definitely looks like the more nfl ready prospect even if you can argue Nabers might have the higher ceiling.

But if we  just talking greatest prospects ever coming out of college find it so hard to see anyone ever topping Megatron. 6’5 240 ran a 4.3 and this is just a personal opinion.

Also we're in competition w/ squeelers for that spot. We'll hear LOTS more rumours before then - tis the season!

Just PO,I don't think Mitchell fits here well,and well, Toledo was not exactly playing any powerhouse clubs. Moving up for a small school guy is adding even more risk

Boyz really need OL. If we do go that way, would be fun to jump in front of them AGAIN!

https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/prospects/cb/all-colleges/all-statuses/2024?page=1  I would personally not give up the draft capital for Mitchell. he looks great on paper. He rates out on PFF here as the top guy but STILL a starter in year 2. That's fine,not knocking the kid.if he fell to 22 I would consider him,but JMO he isn't worth a move up. he hasn't played against the top schools,so these "explosive" numbers are inflated in my view. And if this kid busts out, Howie will never take another DB, until 6 guys are carrying him from the hearse. I'm sure everyone else will be gung ho, but that's a big lift for maybe the highest risk CB in the round 1 scenario. If he's there at 22 it's different for ME PERSONALLY than giving up things to make that high of a lift

 

https://utrockets.com/sports/football/schedule/2023  Here was the "brutal" Toledo schedule. Just sayin(and that's Miami of Ohio not Miami,FL lol)

Howie should know by now speed is not the only parameter. Maybe he wants him to cover his other round 1 disaster pick Reagor

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10118312-eagles-rumors-rivals-say-philly-wants-to-trade-for-wr-or-brock-bowers-for-uga-tie   Brock Bowers is a different story

https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/have-the-eagles-drafted-better-in-the-2nd-round-than-the-1st/580508/ Once again what if we traded back out of round 1 altogether(or down into the 30's). Me and a friend had this discussion. You may or may not get a "STUD", but you're going to fix alot of spots with excellent solid prospects and get additional picks for more than adequate back ups in an overly stacked draft class. The world would not actually end with this strategy 🤣

Obviously you know I’ve been super high on Quinyon. He sure did go to a small school. But then he backed it up dominating drills designed to make WR look good at the Senior Bowl. He’s a stud!

dominating drills

Drills may or may not translate to actual play. This would be an uneducated assumption especially with a small school player who hasn't even faced the best competition at the college level. Going from covering the WR from Ball state,is different than covering Lamb. I would rather have the guy that had to cover Harrison

Small schools debates are interesting for sure the obvious is they don’t always play against the best talent but on the flip side they don’t have the best supporting cast either.

Even in the secondary if you have elite pass rushers and S over the top can aid in a massive way to the outside CB.

I don’t truly have an opinion on Mitchell either way but he has to be doing something right even multiple teams are reportedly high on him high enough they are willing to move up to get him. 

As I said if he fell to 22,maybe,but  move a up and losing draft capital in my opinion would be crazy based on one days "drills".for a guy that has yet to face any serious competition. Howie is setting himself up for another Reagor pick. I would not personally do it. I would take Brock Bowers before this guy

Just to add more to the rumor mill leading up to tomorrow draft also rumors going around we are interested in trading up for a WR or TE Bowers

I never said he would be a bad choice,but it's lot more "blind faith" for a small schooler than a guy who has been battle tested over a solid college season. At 22,I could see it but giving up assets for a higher risk failure just compounds the failure. So that is my opinion about it

yes I posted that(see above). IDK why we would move for a WR? Who are we replacing? The top guys won't want to run slot routes for peanuts. Bowers is another story,that would make me happy
