If he’s a mid round one pick this is not a good draft for tackles.The guys with some polish seem to be guards, and the guys with the tools are either raw or need a year to build strength. Freeling moves well, stays balanced - idk seems like a typical late-1st/early-2nd rounder.

But I think that $ will be better spent somewhere to upgrade the offense before they can offload some of those contracts, or at CB2.I’d 100% bring Epps back. He’s a much better player than the contract he’s going to get, which will probably be next to nothing.Reed for me is a comp pick FA type of player. Has done what was asked of him as an Eagle, but ultimately, you can't justify a contract renewal with other needs across the team. Epps and a rookie makes much more sense

February 2Feb 2 1 hour ago, Waiting4Someday said:From what I've seen he should test well, how quickly he can learn the trade is a bit more difficult to ascertain - definitely a WIP in terms of footwork as he doesn't have a jump step worked out, and his hands/punch need work.There is a PSU OT that has been working with Duke Manyweather. I heard him mentioned in one video during shrine week so hasnt generated a lot of buzz yet. But sounded like an intriguing possible day 3 pick. Has all the size youd want, and working on honing his craft. Theres also some Clemson OT that I insist looke awesome in shrine 1 on 1s and no one ever brought him up, ever. Im still not even sure his name because I think Clemson had more than 1 there.
February 2Feb 2 23 minutes ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said:Looking at the FA safety market it’s actually one of the stronger areasyep. I posted a graphic in here a few days ago from a video that ranked the top 10 players in each free agent position. Reed Blankenship was their 8th ranked safety.Some safeties get paid, but you dont see the 8th best guy getting a big contract at the safety spot, ever.If the NFL sees it similarly, Reed isnt getting a big deal.Even if he were to get say 10M average, the way Howie structures deals, that will cost us about 2 million actual cap dollars this year. His deal will be extremely doable to the point where no one should be worrying whether we should or shouldnt sign Reed. We probably should, and probably will because it will cost next to nothing even if his contract appears to be near the top of the market.
February 2Feb 2 I still don’t understand why these local media outlets that are struggling pay to send people to Super Bowl when Eagles aren’t playing

Spent three years at Wisconsin where he hardly played then transferred into PSU in 2024. One year starter. Shelton was always an athlete that needed more bulk/strength. I think he is from Downingtown.
February 2Feb 2 Reed, Epps, and Mukuba is a solid Safety room. It's not great, but IMO, it's pretty good. It's a tough position to fill.

Former 5 star recruit. 6'8" only gave up 1 sack last year.Manyweather shouted out Rucci on Sikkema's post below.

I wouldn't read much into it. And I mean that in a very neutral way.

Foles doesn’t know if he’ll be a good OC or not either way.
