All i can say is this must have been the most fun draft Howie ever had.

Considering none of these guys has been on an Eagles field yet, I hope Howie keeps having draft fun. This draft has to compare favorably to 2002, shouldn't it? Only one question mark and he might well work out.

Without the injury history 

???

Dean didn't miss a single game in college and only had a grade 1 pec strain while lifting weights preparing for the draft. Shipley has missed a few college games with some injuries (broken leg, concussion) and had to leave his final bowl game with a knee injury.

My mistake 

 

Hoping for the best with this one. There were certainly some other guys that I preferred some even drafted after him. He's ours now. Please be your best CMC.

21yo. 4.4 speed. Great in the passing game and surprisingly for his size he's a downhill runner. Give him a couple years to gain some more weight/muscle.

He is the exact size and weight of Christian McCaffrey he is fine.

Dude on NFL Network called this pick the biggest steal of the entire draft

Yes, I was big on Jaylen Wright and Shipley.. when I saw we traded 120 and the Dolphins then to Wright I was like WTH..bu then we got Shipley and a 3rd for next year, I got over it pretty damn fast. This was a good pick..he runs well, catches well and blocks and Maurice Jones-Drew could not keep going back to Shipley being a great pick and 

he doesn't know how Howie does it, the rich getting richer, lol

My thoughts exactly.

Meh. 

Not sure about meh, he's a good runner as is, if he can put on another 10-15lbs that will allow him to run through contact better ,at that point he'll be damn good.

I don't want him to add weight if it means he loses his speed and elusiveness.

Thanks.  These are great.  Looks like Shipley is better than I thought and a good fit with Moore.

Yeah I like this pick more and more. Watched him play in College a few times, and I was slightly impressed.

That's because he didn't do that silly BPA and drafted fr need......except LB.

My concern is his propensity to fumble.  Hope I'm wrong, but I can't get excited about this pick.

I am really high on this picks value. Curious what other picks you were considering and you rated higher?

Defensive picks to address certain positions? Because throughout the draft , one position that I was rooting for with earlier picks and I was hoping to get, is  an offensive lineman.

Eagles did address offensive lineman..but later in the draft that I was hoping for. Curious what you thought.

Gainwell is average at best

Correct, if there were only 3 RBs on the active roster, for me it would be Barkley, Shipley, and Lew Nichols.
