I've always liked it when @Ray75 did frequent mocks with varying ideas. I figure twicw a month until the new year makes sense.

Free agency - our own

Resign Jaelin Phillips, Nakobe Dean, Reed Blankenship, Braden Mann, Fred Johnson

Let walk - Goedert, Calcaterra, Granson, Dotson, Dillon, Howell, Hughlett, Pryor, Uche, Okoronkwo, Ojulari, A Jackson, Castro-Fields. That we'll only get 1 comp pick for Goedert out of this group says alot about the fact we're not missing much.

Free agent - signings

TE Kyle Pitts, Atlanta. Atlanda is on the verge of being the next dumster fire this season. Eagles will let 3 tight ends go in free agency and although Pitts hasn't lived up to his superstar predictions, but as a receiver he would help the Eagles. He'll be the only high priced acquisition.

Edge Kingsley Enegbare. Losing Uche, Ojualri, and O leaves us with a need for a deep depth chart back up

CB Tariq Woolen. He's fallen out of favor, but we can't count on ringo or a draft pick actually starting

Draft -

Trade #1 to someone who wants a 5th year for a QB for a 2 and a 3. That's probably late 40's and early 80's

2 (traded pick) - OT Demetrious Crownover, Texas A&M 6'6" 330. Lane's eventual replacement, but next year he replicated Mekhi Beckton

2 (own pick) - Edge Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State. He's fallen out of the 1st round but he'll berotating with Phillips, Smith, Hunt, BG, and Enegbare

3 (traded pick) - CB DJ McKinney, Colorado. 6'2" 190 4.47

3 (own pick) - TE Max Klare, Ohio State. 6'4" 240 4.8. Pitts catches, Klare blocks and catches, EJ Jenkins and Cameron Latu are the backups

3 (comp pick) - WR Eric Singletyon Jr, Auburn 5'10" 190 4.42. A stretch the field guy. He's much better than his QB let's him show

4 (own pick) - TE John Michael Gillenborg, Wyoming, 6'5"247 4.62. Wathc out EJ Jenkins

4 (comp pick) - S Peyton bowen, Oklahoma. 6'0" 198 4.48

5 (own pick) - QB Carson Beck, Miami(FL). 6'4" 220 4.74

5 (comp pick) - Wr Nyck Harbor, South Carolina. 6'5" 235 4.48 A height-weignt-speen pick that challenges Johnny Wilson

Summary -

Goedert, Calcaterra, and Granson replaced by Pitts, Klare, and Gyllenborg/Jenkins

Dotson replaced by Singleton or Cooper

Dillon already replaced by Bigsby

Howell replaced by Beck

Hughlett already replaced by Adomotos

Pryor replaced by Crownover

Ojulari, Uche, and O. I already replaced by Phillips, anothe by BG who will coe back again, and the 3rd replaced by Dennis-Suttot

Jackson & Castro-Fields replaced by McKinney/Ringo, Woolen

.

I'd retain Goedert...draft a mid-round prospect. I'm not in favor of Pitts in FA.

Signing Phillips would lesson the need for an early edge pick or signing Kingsley.

Corner and tackle could then be our primary targets.

Howie can have fun with his day #3 picks (backups, developmental prospects, special teams, 1 year Pros).

Thanks @Crazy Legs .

I think we can foll all the needs. Keeping goedert and not signing Pitts would be Ok.

Need 5 edges on the roster - Phillips, Smith, Hunt, Enigbare, Dennis-Sutton, and BG make a terrific edge room.

I have tackle (2nd) and corner (3rd) so I guess you're suggesting no trade of our #1 and drafting them in the 1st and 2nd. Ok - but I;d rather have that extra pick. We'll never get Crownover at 64 and 32 is too high which is why I went for the trade.

Not as mant day 2 picks as we had before. Going by Jimmy Kemski's projection we'll have 2 in round 4 and 2 in round 5.

Next mock - December 1

I am in agreement that numerous draft day swaps by Howie will be necessary to position ourselves to get as many "high-value" picks as possible.

If you examine the Eagles draft prep, each evaluator does an extensive analysis of talented prospects to forecast how they think they fit the Eagles desired profile. They then critque each other's opinions and reach a consensus Then the fun begins, trying to figure out how long they should last on the board and how high they must reach to attain their targets. Sometimes you're lucky (2024, Q, Cooper) and sometimes not (2020, Reager vs. Jefferson).

P.S. I wouldn't count on BG next season.

I was on the trade for Pitts bandwagon this past offseason I haven’t fully followed him and still think his play is far behind his draft position but I think he is having a decent season.

Definitely enjoy talking about the draft and offseason
