April 25Apr 25 Good value as always. It will be interesting to see how the Eagles want to use him. He could use some time to develop some more, but we may have an immediate opening off-ball if Dean can't start the season. If Dean can return at some point, Vic might like to use Campbell more at OLB. I'm guessing we may now move BVS permanently to FB.
April 25Apr 25 Rapoport said we tried to move up into the early 20s to draft him. Unless I misunderstood.

But no deal was made. The Eagles eventually moved up one spot with the Kansas City Chiefs, who they beat in Super Bowl LIX."Incredible luck and patience by Howie.
April 25Apr 25 A linebacker? Vermeil would approve.He's from Camden...he'll feel right at home.Howie tried to move up to the Chargers, etc. pick to get him.Sounds like good value.
April 25Apr 25 Did they really need to trade up 1 spot to get him? I have to imagine the Chiefs were going to take him they wouldn't have traded the pick and if another team wanted him surely they could have offered better than what we did... It's only a 5th but it didn't seem necessary
April 25Apr 25 I like that he brought some energy when he was picked. I like that he's a fan of the birds. I like that he had 117 tackles last year. I like that he turned 21 two month ago.

I think KC was going oline at 31 no matter what... KC got a free 5th rounder from us

April 25Apr 25 It's a good thing that No one is picking up Howie Phone!!!!! Anymore.We wasted a 5th rounder, because KC was always going to get a Tackle. KC been trying to fix that tackle position for a while.Hearing the reports that Howie was trying to trade with multiple teams, starting with Chargers at 24, to get this guy.....It's a great thing for the Eagles, that No one was trading with Howie.Kind of, everyone saved Howie from being Howie the trader, and we still got a great pick that we needed and a Great Value at 31, without loosing more draft capital.Overall its a solid A+ draft value.
