Obviously another post with the shovel digging the hole deeper is coming.

Since it seems evident AJ is going to the Pats, they are going to want a nice OT to help Maye. Blake Miller seems to be "ready to go". I have seen mocks where we take Miller at 23 and the Pats take Iheanachor at 31. I would suggest a flip here that we move back in a trade to the Pats. They get Miller at 23, we get Iheanchor at 31 and added picks(Pats have 10 picks I believe). We know the Pats(if the AJ trade happens) will be giving up a '27 round 1(plus more). So this draft is really where they need to put their team all together for a run. I like Iheanchor better than Miller anyhow. Making the trade back and getting him anyway while the Pats get a more immediate upgrade would make sense for both teams. So IMO we make 2 trades with the Pats. Flip 23 and 31(we get 31 and their round 4 131, Pats get 23), then the AJ trade later. But what I would actually do is use that pats 131 to move up in round 2 for Chase Bisontis. Iheanachor and Bisontis would be a nice future O line duo IMO. At 68-Romello Height a very versatile edge/OLB. At 98 snag Stribling at WR. Those 4 would make me happy

OK here goes. My final mock of 2026(I know everyone is tickled pink) *****TRADE pick 23 to the Pats for picks 31, 131............................... 1-31-Max Iheanachor-OT-AZ st........................2-54-AJ Haulcy-S-LSU....................3-68- Romello Height-edge-TX tech..........................3-98-DeZhaun Stribling-WR-Miss.....................4-114-Cole Payton-QB-N. Dak st...............................4-131-Jude Bowry-OT(who will be a G/swing tackle)-Memphis.............4-137-Nick Singleton-RB-PSU.................5-178-Ephesians Prysock-CB- Washington..................6-197-Will Kacmarek-TE-OSU(the OTHER OSU TE who was overshadowed by Klare)..........................UDFA-Uar Bernard-DT-IPP-Nigeria(international portal)............Eric Gentry-LB-USC...........Anez Cooper-G-Miami..................... pick one-either Andre Fuller-CB- Toledo OR Lorenzo Styles-CB-OSU

SO,now we have Lane's heir in here, added a G/swing T that can sit and learn also in Bowry, Cooper is another depth O line G to cover for Dickerson injury. He will need alot of work. We get a nice fill at S who can start right away in Haulcy, Height is a hybrid edge/OLB that Fangio loves to mess with, Stribling is a nice WR who will develop in a year. Cole Payton we have been all over him. Excellent PS QB for move to the 53 later. Singleton is a nice RB,he can probably beat out Shipley. Prysock-solid CB with upside,could probably be spotted in as he learns the ropes. Nice bookend to Q. Kacmarek is an under radar TE. Who knows what he could have done from out under Klares shadow. I love the underdog, but he's got the tools to succeed and is a steal here IMO. The UDFAs are camp bodies,but you know Darius Cooper made the team so one of those 2 CB's could also. If we took them both then we have great depth at the position. maybe add a UDFA WR if you feel the need. I'm not changing it,so is the final mock. Let's see if I can hit any. The bet is over/under 1 HAHAHAHAHAHA(oh boy). My work is done for this year. Let's GOOOOOOOO!!!!

Yeah…I guess you wouldn’t be the guy to understand Tomlin’s quote

Yep you #Hurtshater picked out practically the only pass Hurts got to throw that wasn’t in long down and distance

It's a fact

So, explain how that quote pertains to the AJ situation. Your boy made AJ a hostage? Agreed. When was LeVon Bell held hostage????? They are related???? If they are related, explain why they are similar

Steelers' HC Mike Tomlin to @diannaESPN on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown regarding the Le'Veon Bell situation: "We need volunteers, not hostages.”

So anyone else have a clue how this relates to AJ Brown?? Chime in if you do. How was Tomlin being held hostage? Tomlin controlled what the FO would pay Bell???? Who was being held hostage, Bell? The Squeelers? Because they couldn't agree on a contract price? Didn't we get AJ because the Titans wouldn't pay him? So Bell was holding them hostage because he felt he was worth more than 70 million?? Maybe, I seriously fail to see any connection with 2 different situations, but you do you after you explain why this quote has some nefarious hidden meaning, What was the context of this quote and how does it pertain to the Eagles? Was everyone we let walk due to contract/price holding us hostage? Maybe,but those occur on every team every year they let players walk. The Squeelers offered Bell 14 million a year. That's a hostage crisis? has AJ demanded money we refuse to pay? You know what though, when the Pats get a hold of AJ, they are going to throw him the ball, unlike some other "unnamed" player who got the big money first, THEN held his team hostage with side deals, a voluntary drop in effort and changed the called plays. Bell was stupid because he ended up playing for less than the Steelers offer. The Eagles were stupid trusting and "unnamed" player to play with 100% effort for the duration of his contract

We should have booted Barkley because the O line had injuries too I guess? Injury is 1 thing, making side deals that lower your production you got paid for and changing play calls because you refuse to learn anything new is another. But you got your wish AJ is getting booted. Congrats are in order!! WELL DONE HAM!!!!! Forcing Howie to go out and fill a player gap he thought was covered costing the team additional assets because some "unnamed" player refused to do his job(aka hostage situation) But once again excellent job in fulfilling your wish. If Hurts pulls another Houdini, maybe my wish will come true in 2027 when we find a capable QB who takes care of his WR's and plays to 100% of his potential 😁

DRAFT DAY!!!!!!! Whooooo can’t say I’m expecting an exciting pick for us though expecting an OL today

Been so far off my radar this year... Flyers right now are the talk of the town locally.

Im more curious with the contracts ...what Howie does with Carter, Ojomo, Smith etc.

Agree. I expect an OL in the first unless Howie trades up

Then all bets are off

Did you know that the NFL Draft's actual government name is the Annual Player Selection Meeting?

I provided the entire quote. What does a link do for you? Nothing! You either understand what I’ve been saying along…or obviously you don’t. Believed coming from such a highly respected successful Pro Coach for so long you’d at least listen to that guy.

Stay put and take Miller? Trade back and take Iheanchor? move up for Freeling? I'm for the middle one

So what is he saying since you know. How many recent SB rings does Tomlin have?

You're willing to listen to Tomlin with no rings or Siri that already has one with 2 SB appearances? Make it make sense 🤣

First two draft picks tonight are a foregone conclusion. Mendoza and then Bailey. Cards want to trade back very well known at 3. They publicly came out and even stated they’d be comfortable taking Love if they stay at 3.

Here is the question. Love would be guaranteed $50.5 million if taken at No. 3. Is that a smart move?

Arvell Reese should go at 2
