I don't feel up to looking at who we could have had, there's no since in doing the would've/could've at this point, as you said, let's see how things pan out. DeJean was a 1st round grade who fell. They gave up one 2nd rounder to move up 13 spots to get a 1st round quality player. And you think he'd last til the 4th round.

You're such a group thinking spin doctor, I never said I thought he would last until the 4th round, what I said is I wouldn't have been surprised if he lasted until the 4th round. Had he went to the senior bowl and proved he had the right stuff against the top players that would be one thing, problem is, he didn't, so you don't know what you have in the guy, it's nothing more than wishful thinking. Keep in mind, there's been tons of 1st round graded/drafted players that didn't work out, matter of fact, the Eagles recently one up from the Jets, you guys have him being an All-Pro before he's been measured for a helmet.

I'll even get a kick out of reminding you that in that post I quoted above, you accused a person of being a "spin doctor" : Quote You're such a group thinking spin doctor, I never said I thought he would last until the 4th round, what I said is I wouldn't have been surprised if he lasted until the 4th round. ... and then immediately did the very thing that supposedly bunched your panties (Figure of speech? ) and accused many of us of supposedly hyping the Becton signing : Quote Keep in mind, there's been tons of 1st round graded/drafted players that didn't work out, matter of fact, the Eagles recently one up from the Jets, you guys have him being an All-Pro before he's been measured for a helmet. I was merely pointing out the irony and the hypocrisy of your rant.

It wasn't a trade 2nd rounders for one higher 2nd rounder, it was trade 2 2nd rounders for a higher 2nd rounder (#40) plus a 3rd rounder. So it was a 2 for 2 trade, just the 2nd pick was 3rd round, not 2nd round. If either us was so dam smart, we'd have Howie's job (and paycheck).😀

If there were a bet it should be something like the loser has to wear the winner's jersey at one of a winner's game or something like that.
May 20, 20241 yr Eagles now have DeJean inked to his rookie contract. 8 of 9 draft picks are now signed (the remaining unsigned pick is Mitchell). https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/eagles-sign-second-round-pick-cooper-dejean
June 3, 20241 yr I like Howie being aggressive and I’m not down on Cooper DeJean. I like the pick. He’s gonna be a Swiss Army knife and play well wherever Fangio puts him. Not gonna lie though…I wanted Edgerrin Cooper. Edgerrin Cooper is a pro bowl LB waiting to happen.
June 4, 20241 yr This pick and the Will Shipley pick, I'm liking more and more. The versatility that both young players possess is exciting.

You see, that was a figure of speech (an expression that uses language in a nonliteral way), now go find someone else pester.(to bother persistently with petty annoyances). I am with you on DeJean. I thought that he was highly overhyped. Not a pure CB but a slot CB/ Safety. Had him going sometime in the second round..maybe even the third.. Not surprised that he did end up being picked in the second. Do not think that we got a steal. We reached for him in the second because we needed to upgrade our lack of talent at the position... We could certainly use a guy with his talents. (Ballhawk..Maybe) Want to see how he does in the preseason games before making any judgements. So far do not see rookies contributing right away to an upgraded secondary ....despite our heralded draft Grades. Hoping some rookie steps up and contributes right away.
