Maybe if he slips to our third round pick although we also need a TE. 

Yep. They also have 6 more picks to make in this draft.

2 of the top 4 DBs!? I used to pray for times like this.

DeJean, Mitchell, Slay, CJGJ and Reed is freaking amazing considering how bad our secondary was last season.

Ringo can be the insurance in case of any injury and start in Slay's place next year.

The stupid sheet did it with the wrong player, DeJean is going to be the second coming of Maddox.....plagued with injuries and unable to keep up with quick twitch WRs, dude is a safety at best and I would have put Ringo in that position.

If he wanted to sure up the secondary he should have drafted Decamerions Richardson, that would have given the secondary 2 shutdown corners that can tackle, with Ringo at S they would have had the best secondary in the NFL.

Man, who brought the downer.  Haha, j/k.

If so then 2024 secondary could be Slay, Mitchell, CJGJ, DeJean.

Depth Ringo, Ricks (I assume Bradberry may be cut after June 1), Blankenship, Brown.  

Not including nickel backs.  

On paper that looks a helluva lot better than anything we’ve had recently.

It will be interesting to see where he fits in he secondary. He tackles which is something we have been missing for a while. Howie giving Fangio some upgrades and depth in this secondary.

Yeah, totally should have just waited and taken the 4th round talent over the 1st round talent (in the second round no less). You totally should run a football team.

Can't believe they went there in this interview. I had to hear it twice because there's no way I thought they really asked him this

It definitely won't be the last time he's asked.

Need a linebacker BAD, any chance they can snag Jeremiah Trotter jr.

Howie doesn't draft Linebackers. I gave up on that long ago. He doesn't value the position. At least in the draft.

Dude you would probably hate  on a draft day trade for Mahomes

You have never been right about any player ever. So this must be a great pick.

It’s not a ridiculous question. I’m sure McCaffrey heard it for a while 

Looks like Eagles dont have a 3rd round pick. What happened to the pick they got from Washington?

Why wouldn't he? Mahomes ran a 4.80s 40, that's slow AF.

We can only hope because he won't be able to cover the likes of a CeDe Lamb WR.

Right, he'd be a great pick for a New York Life Commercial, have you seen him tackle?

New York Life Game 1

New York Life Game 2

New York Life Game 3

Some players are underrated (Richardson) and some players are overrated (DeJean).

I thought Howie had learned his lesson by staying put, but is ego is just too big, he needs attention and will do anything to get, no matter how dumb it is.

Eagles trade up to select Iowa DB Cooper DeJean

 

Well I’ma little shocked that Howie went up and got him. Can’t say I love what he gave up to do it but hey DeJean is a highly rated player. I’m just surprised Howie has gone DB back to back. Got to think DeJean is going to be a S?

It's another solid pick on the scouting, but our inside line backers still look make do and mend and that is behind an even thinner interior defensive line than last year, I'm surprised we gave up a second rounder to get another corner.
