I dont mind him at 23. I wouldnt trade up.

He has good feet. Im still not so sure he fits the new offense though.

So you are upset that Howie hasn’t drafted a safety yet? I agree the position needs to be addressed. I would rather they had re-signed Blankenship. I just am not worried about it being an issue in March. If they are heading into camp with the same depth at the position that’s a problem. I think they should address it before the draft. Ideally they invest in it early but they can’t draft for need over talent.

Trading for Dalton doesn’t make a bunch of sense unless Howie wants to be able to trade McKee without worrying about replacing him. They also want to roster three playable QBs. It seems like an over pay but we don’t know what the market is for the position. If they move McKee for a 3rd round pick, it’s a good deal. It’s a better deal than having to spend more than a 7th to get a playable back up after a trade. If not, then the question is whether and to what extent trading for Dalton keeps them from making another move.

Ideally they upgrade Edge with a veteran but there’s no way they should have paid Phillips the deal he got in Carolina. Adding AJ Epenesa would not be an upgrade. Grenard would be great. Grenard for a 2nd would not be great. That’s the price Vikings’ reporters are saying the Vikings want. Trading a 1st for Crosby doesn’t make sense. In a draft class where Edge is one of the deepest positions, drafting one early may be a better solution than overpaying for a player. I think Edge is a need whether they add a player or not.

Of course this is my biggest concern about trading AJ. The Eagles have been historically terrible at drafting WR under Howie. You can make excuses for him, blame Reagor on Doug and JJAW on Lurie but they just don’t know how to evaluate the position. He has made one good pick at the position, Devonta. Yet , the people on the trade AJ bandwagon seem to ignore this fact. I have much more confidence in them replacing an Edge or Safety in the draft than I do at WR. So even if they get a 1st round pick with the trade, that pick has a less than 50% chance of resulting in a player that can replace Brown. Odds are with a Brown trade we will have a less than average WR room.

Elliott is not ideal. My guess is they will bring in some UDFAs for competition. I think the Eagles are aware of the options out there for kicker. They probably don’t think there’s a better option. I just don’t think the guarantee changes much for him. I know @LeanMeanGM has said there was an option bonus this season that was significant. I have not found that information. Both OTC and Spotrac show no option bonus this season. So what they guaranteed was just about $1.3 million in salary. I don’t think that significantly changes their dead money hit on the contract. It does change the cash they are spending which may make cutting him cost prohibitive. I just would be surprised if that prevented them from bringing in competition when a UDFA is such a low cost.

Right there in the details. The chart is just automatically prorating it from 2026 through 2030 in the "Option Proration" column so it doesn't look like a significant amount but if they were to cut him then all that bonus accelerates into 2026.

This is also not updated. If you just add the option bonus ($4.65M) the base salary ($1.3M) and the workout bonus ($50k) that's the $6M he was going to make, all non guaranteed. He cut it to $5M but it's all guaranteed now. So it's not just the $1.3M they guaranteed.

I am impressed with the added red highlights. That makes sense. Well, Jake Elliott forever then.

Give him the Penske file.

As I reported last night.

Season saved. Supabowl. Next year draft an OT in the 1st.

Apparently this TE/Long Snapper is 6ft.30inches. That typo surely boosted his RAS score

Trade up for a pure guard... If he is athletic enough for our system and as good as Baldy is saying, then sure. To me, the O-line needs to get back to #1 in the league status.

Not trying to give you a hard time. Think you have a case. But the point is Elliott is on the wrong side of 30 and losing steam here. Yes kickers can last awhile, but some lose it kinda early. My main contention was him having no competition and being guaranteed a spot. He's gotten enough rope at this point and you can just see this biting them in the ass. If we had Aubry we probably win 2 more games last year. Should shoot to find someone on that level or close.

Oh I agree with that, he does need competition. And if he can't handle it, I'm on board with you guys. He'll most likely win the competition and hopefully that gives him confidence for the season.

Makes sense

I agree with Baldy about Ioane. He's a stud. Just a matter of if you're cool with a guard in round 1.

I think most of us would prefer OT, but at the same time, an amazing guard can also change the game. With LD being up in the air and Steen being eh despite what the stats say I'd trade up to get him IF he's as good as it's being suggested.

I saw this guy 2 years ago and figured next year he would be a 1st round pick. I forgot his name, and I searched last years draft class and could never find this incredible small school WR I saw the year prior.

By chance, I finally found him again and he is in this draft.

I have no idea what happened to his career. But the guy has elite, elite talent and I want him.

If Ioane was super athletic, sure trade up. But you can have Bisontis by not trading up, and there are guards in this draft. Theres just not OTs. Dont get desperate.

I wanted a tackle but I'm constantly seeing people say that this draft isn't great for a need at tackle. Figures when we need Lane's heir
