I think Eagles will focus on keeping their own and sniff around the edge market and depth LB market. Other than that I don't think it'll be super active either and I'm fine with that.

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.

If we sign a lower value free agent in March, will that cancel out one of our 3rd round comps? Might have to trade, get a guy who is cut or wait until after 6/1.

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

Damn. That was incredible.

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

 

For such an important position of backup QB I think you have to stick with clearly the better backup.  Not to mention he's both cheaper and signed longer.  Only case where you consider otherwise is if some team is willing to give a first for him which they won't.  Top of the 2nd round?  idk, maybe but I think even then I still stick with McKee.

There are a few different rules about that stuff. Unlikely since we'll probably lose lower value guys too like Gainwell or someone else.

Yeah, I couldn’t remember if they cancelled out from the bottom up/ top down/ relative value, etc… but we aren’t losing too many middling players iirc., (so not much slack in the comp formula).

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.

The Eagles aren’t trading up from #32 into the top 10 and giving up the draft capital to do it.  Milton Williams was a #73 overall pick, Zack Baun was #74 overall, and Josh Sweat was #130 overall.  Those are the three defensive players who played the best on a defense that just carried the Eagles to a Super Bowl championship.

Make the right picks in their draft slot and develop the players who fit your defensive scheme and philosophy.

I know, I'm just trying to figure out how to get my favorite player in the draft. Have loved watching Mason Graham play the last few years.

I wouldn't be shocked to see them trade up if a player falls though. This roster is nearly set. They don't have a lot of room to add a huge draft class. As of today, they have 7 picks. I see them making 4-5 picks like 2018.

Who do you like of the edge players for our pick?

Especially if that vet was released so he doesn’t count in the Comp pick calculation.  Hargrave is a vet who fits that model.

Depends how the draft falls. If Mykel Williams is there as some suggest, I'm running to the podium.

I love Jack Sawyer at 32 and JT Tuimoloau later in the 2nd. 

Mike Green has killer explosiveness but might be moving up the 1st, but there are some character concerns that may drop him. 

Shemar Stewart seems like he'd be interchangeable with Moro Ojomo moving across the line more than a DE. 

A guy that I don't know about is James Pearce. He reminds me of Ricky Sapp. I think he's a reach.

Hopefully it's just a Rooney Rule requirement rather than stealing our precious Christian Parker

It's gonna be Staley, I wouldn't worry.

Preston Smith was just released by the Steelers. No one is rushing to sign him, but he'd be a solid veteran rotating rush/edge player if he's still around closer to OTA's. He's still good for about 5 sacks a year just turning 32 a few months ago. 

There are bound to be more guys like him released the further along we get.
