That would be nice, but I think we’ll be sifting through that next tier of 3Ts.

The Toledo DT Darius Alexander in Round 2 would be good value, as would T. J. Sanders from South Carolina

When he said he had 9 beers and a shot of fireball….

Agreed - Alexander is going to be 25, so his value might be diminished. It will be a nail biter for them to get to our 2nd round pick (likely will require a tradeup).

Those guys might as well be on the moon - some GM would have to do Howie a solid by taking our 1+2+3 to get us in the ballpark.

The Eagles are potentially getting 2 2026 3rd round comp picks. That would give them 4 3rd round picks next year (their own, Reddick and 2 comps). They also have 2 QBs who we have no idea what other teams value them at. If a team out there thinks McKee has the ability to start, who knows what they might give up. I think a 2025 2nd is reasonable. 

Those 2026 3rd round picks should be used this year to move up.

Right now, Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders, Abdul Carter, Cam Ward and Will Johnson are the clear top 5 prospects in the draft. Mason Graham falls anywhere in the 5-10 range but I'd imagine during the combine and workout process there will be QBs who jump up to the top 5-10 too. Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe are 2 guys who I think teams will fall in love with. A team is going to see Milroe's athletic traits and do whatever they can to grab him.

If Graham falls to pick 7-10 range and the Eagles can move a backup QB for a 2nd (dreaming, but not unrealistic), the Eagles 100% have the draft value to move up to get him. It would cost them 32, 64 and a combination of next years 3rds and whatever Pickett/McKee bring in a trade. 

-The Chiefs traded up from 27 to 10. 1st, 3rd round pick and the following years 1st.

-The Falcons traded up from 27 to 6 to pick Julio Jones. 1st, 2nd, 4th, next 1st and 4th.

- The Texans traded up from 25 to 12 to take Deshaun Watson. 1st and next years 1st. 

If the DT class is as deep as everyone is saying, is Mason Graham worth moving up for? I love his game. Graham and Carter would be unstoppable. I have no doubt Howie could get him if he wanted to.

There's no way that's 9 beers and a shot drunk for a 6-2 240lb man. He was blitzed. Maybe he meant 9 shots and 1 beer.

Endzone angle of Dejean's pick 6

Cool to see the view of everyone going nuts on the sidelines when he crossed the goal line. Good find

Nolan would not be the first man to not remember how much he drank.

Egbuka would be insane value at 32 and push smith and wilson right off the roster. Which is where they belong

Adding Egbuka could make Dotson a valuable trade chip too.

When are those comp picks awarded, I figure well after the current draft? I agree, we can trade our 2026 current picks knowing that we’ll likely get restocked to a degree.

they would be 2026 picks so they would have 4 next year.

Yeah, but you can’t trade what you don’t have (yet).

Oh wait, you mean when would the Eagles actually have them? I'm not sure about that. But knowing they had them coming, it would make it easier for them to trade their own pick and the pick they have from the Reddick trade. They could use those 2 as ammo with the confidence in knowing they had 2 3rds coming eventually. 

Looking at the Offense snaps, right now we lose Becton’s RG snaps, Gainwell’s RB snaps, Campbell’s WR snaps, and Fred Johnson’s backup Or snaps.  The rest come back intact.  On Offense this Draft will be 100% about succession planning.

Yup - I’m with you.

I really do NOT want to a WR in the 1st two rounds.  BPA is fine but I sure hope it isn't a WR.  Give me DL, LB, or a TE.

Same i dont think it fits needs but if he is the best player just do it

new Oc may want to run more 11 personnel

who knows 

I've read every article and watched every piece of media/video I could find over the past few days. But the three videos I keep coming back to and rewatching the most are these...

Yep the more I think about it the more I think Becton might have to go unless it's a very team friendly deal.  Baun & Burks might be the only guys kept.  Comp pick year to prepare for Carter & Smith and Jurgens re-signings.  Jurgens could be this year

I think Pickett will be traded.  Hopefully Johnny Wilson learns to catch to go along with his blocking skills.  Gainwell might be gone, but I could see them bringing him back if there isn't much of a market for him.  Goedert is the wildcard but I think they bring him back.  Would love to see Tyler Warren drop to them though, even if they do keep Goedert around for another year.

They could sell high with McKee.  Maybe even to Saints. Agree on Gainwell no one is paying him much but maybe Steichen or Moore.  TE is a need

There are definitely two DTs in Round 1 that would be superb Eagles … Michigan’s Mason Graham and Mississippi’s Walter Nolen.  

Mason Graham is going very high, top 8 pretty easily?  I don't see how we could move up as much as it would cost. I like Nolen, think he is gone in the teens somewhere. He's not great against the run however. But I would be totally fine if we moved up a bit for him. But the ends really stand out to me much more. I'm not in love with Alexander or some these other's but they're certainly not terrible.

A few DT's I wonder about is Williams from Ohio St. I think there could be some major untapped potential there but he seems to be a little unmotivated at times which is a concern, especially playing with Carter. There would have to be some deep digging by Dom to clear him, I wouldn't want any negative aspects or laziness rubbing off on him at all. Harmon is interesting as well. Similar to Cox in terms of measurements. Shemar Turner I like quite a bit, someone mentioned him yesterday. I would just be fine with him over some of the others to be honest, possibly in a trade back option. 

But for the ends: Carter ; Williams, J. Walker ; Green ; S. Stewart - I would love one of these guys round 1 if it's possible. Then there's Scourton ; Ezeiruaku ; Pearce ; J. Stewart. There's the Ohios St. duo, Princely... Ivey & Gillette I really like too. Then there's even more in round 2/3 with Ryland-Powell, Swinson, D. Walker, Baron.... It's really loaded at end I feel. 

I am excited for FA which begins March 9th at noon. It should determine if DT or DE becomes priority in the draft. If we make a splash at DE and Milt leaves, then DT would become very high priority on day 1 or 2.

That was just in the parade. He didn’t mention the Don Julia 1942 he downed before it.

I don't see any splashes in FA this year. Maybe you get a vet who wants to ring chase that won't command too high a price.
