Justin Simmons is still a FA, unreal.

I didn’t write a full Hurts review last offseason, so this serves as a comparison to my last detailed evaluation of Hurts as a player, which was my 2024 article reviewing his 2023 season. That piece concluded that Hurts was still an excellent quarterback, let down by a poorly designed offense. Two years later, the context feels a little bit different. The offense has been inconsistent (which might be a bit generous), but Hurts seems to have risen above it.

I like this kid also. Already a good blocker. His issues is he rarely gets the ball(which kind of fits our style). But when he does, he produces https://rememberthetightends.substack.com/p/the-unappreciated-excellence-of-daequan Kid looks like a perfect fit

Nice find.

I trust our scouting to find OUR style TE late day 2 or thereabouts.

https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Gennings-Dunker-OL-Iowa#google_vignette I know round 1 seems high for a G . Actually he is a T at Iowa. The scouts say he is an immediate starting RG that with polish and coaching could end up as a RT replacement for Lane. Sounds to me this is a kid you invest in for a decade, so I am going to pencil him in as the 1 and now need to look at round 3 CB's. But mark my words the TE Wright is going to fly up boards. I'm only working the 1,2,3,3 selections, Need to see if any of those guys we just traded will pan out. That starts Monday, but Dunker is my TE of choice until he isnt. I need to see how far he moves up. Fun days ahead

I think you ment to say " my G/T of choice".

I've had my eye on him for awhile now...like him alot.

I feel late 1st round might be a slight reach, but I really think his personality is a perfect fit for the Eagles OL clubhouse gang.

What were you leaning towards in round #2?

Depends on if we found a coherent CB2 or not. If we can't put it off another year then CB would seem the logical choice. If we went CB first I like Colton Hood from Tennessee Pick your order CB, Oline, TE, edge in any order. We could actually use a rook RT AND RG. Need that right side going forward. Lane is not going to last forever. I would have NP luring Becton back at RG

Yes G/T.SO guys I am watching- Hood-CB Tennesse, Dunker G/T-Iowa , Daquon Wright-TE- Ole Miss , Royer-TE-Cincy ,Jake Slaughter-C-FL(maybe as a RG with a C BU role), Romello Height-edge-Texas Tech, Malachi Fields-WR-ND as a round 3. I really love Daruis Cooper if he can show he can remain upright. Kid tries so hard. Howie picks up FA WR's as trade pieces. The failure of my boy ASMith was just that a sad failure, I expected so much more from him.But I think we are ok in the slot for now. Nothing wrong with Dotson-re-sign? Like Lane, AJ won't last forever. Like to find a kid that has all the tools but needs coaching. That way we don't need a high pick to start immediately, but one who can work his way into AJ's role. Ham better at finding D guys then I am, but I still stick my nose in to peek at them LOL

DW)TE ole miss) is growing on me fairly quickly. I just think he fits what we do so well

Lol...I'm actually listening to WIP.... the chumps actually think that there was a chance AJ was going to be traded. They didn't like the answers Howie and AJ gave 🙄

A simple "NO" to trading doesn't create any drama LOL.

Do you mean RT (Johnson successor) and LG (Dickerson successor)? Steen is a young RG.

We may already have both in house already … Hinton and Williams.

Howie is smart(in MANY MANY ways) but he looks at C's while other teams that need G's overlook them. Then he makes them G's. C's fall down the draft boards when in essence they can be terrific G's(Dickerson was one). I would like to keep Toth around due to his versatility on the O line as a BU. I'm waiting to see how the new guys we brought in do. I hope 1 or more can stick and be a guy we can re-sign

Would you rather have Steen or Becton at RG? We are thin at ROT. That right side needs addressed IMO. Toth can be a BU at either G spots

AND?? Howie couldn't get him back in a trade? He is only 26. Graham was also "no longer an Eagle"

We may. Doesn't stop me from drafting talent if it's there.

Steen will be the RG next year, still under the rookie deal. He is doing fine. The following year when neither are under contract...then maybe Becton comes back. We know the drill, we keep solid players on rookie deals

Im definitely seeing DL on the draft list.

Steen vs Becton is a simple trade off. Better pass blocking or better run blocking. For me, the former is more important. For many others the latter is more important. Chocolate and vanilla.

How is everyone doing in fantasy? I am 5-4. Only 1 team really out of the running(10 team league) 3 at 6-3, me and another at 5-4, 4 at 4-5. Just a weird season where even(supposed) top players can underwhelm any week. No consistency, it's a crapshoot

last detailed evaluation of Hurts as a player,

What "detailed eval was" this? What did I miss and when did I miss it? Joe and I were doing evals every season(nearly weekly) and called "haters" because we pointed out Hurts screw ups. The fact we both pointed out what needed fixed and the fact they were fixed and Hurts finally got things together and matured and stopped the bonehead plays last year, proves that we were both right all along. No "he carries the other 52" , no "he is a god that does no wrong" ,no "he sucks because of bad coaching", neither of us would lower our bar to make excuses, we both held firm in what we needed to see. And there were 2 constants in all this 1) the best surrounding cast a QB could ask for 2) Siri. Not in SPITE of Siri, not in SPITE of the best surrounding cast. I'm glad Hurts progressed to the point Joe and I held firm on and now we have a complete QB (still a weaker arm relatively but he excels in other areas). Posting an article from others is YOUR "detailed eval"? LMAO. Joe and I didn't need articles from others. Nice job Joe, glad you held your bar as high as I did. 2 things remain going forward, and they are both the same 2 things. I have no real demands or complaints of Hurts now, he is an excellent QB. As far as Patullo, he started slow, but I suspect he had his reasons. No one wants to tank a SB team into an abyss, thus the rather mundane play calls. Patullo now seems to understand he needs to keep all facets of the offensive play makers involved. he went from conservative to a bit too pass happy, but he will nail down the happy medium we need. Right now, I have no reason to "evaluate" Hurts. Just keep doing what you are doing because there is not much to evaluate. He will keep fine tuning whatever he chooses to work on. I didn't know your name was Jonny Page before or that you posted for the Eagles as I see that underlined.

Interested to see a few you are following besides Royer. I don't need everyone but a few you think could be draft targets. Like Royer but this Wright kid has my attention at the moment. Some boards aren't even showing him
