Because it's fake and was done by an artist. The one from this week might actually be real.

McLane said that the Eagles self scout a lot and last season during the bye they self scouted, which has them reaching out to various coaches outside the organization to get their opinions on things regarding the Eagles and he said the feedback the Eagles got about Jalen Hurts was pretty brutal. The general and consistent sentiment from coaches was that he'd have a good game where he's running and throws the ball well, but teams know how to defend him, he can't handle simulated pressures, and 9 out of 10 times his results are going to be a mixed bag.

I think it's from the first playoff game for Hurts, at TB. One of their D Coaches was caught on mic saying that Hurts "can't read what our D is doing". I'm paraphrasing, of course.

But yeah, when Hurts is lost, he's like really lost out there. So are most NFL QBs, though. Gotta give credit to these opposing D Coaches for figuring out the opposing QBs. They get paid too.

They could have just come to the blog to get the same assessment and then some.

I asked ChatGPT to predict the Eagles picks based on percentages.

Yeah this is a great question—and honestly, this is exactly the kind of thing you can model reasonably well using:

1. historical Howie Roseman tendencies

2. consensus mock draft clustering

3. roster/contract pressure points

I’ll walk you through the logic quickly, then give you a probability board.

---

🧠 Step 1: Eagles Draft DNA (this matters a LOT)

Under Howie Roseman, the Eagles heavily prioritize:

• Trenches first (OL/DL)

• SEC / big-school prospects

• High athletic upside over polish

• Premium positions (OT, EDGE)

That’s why you constantly see OT/EDGE mocked to them.

👉 Multiple mocks already reflect this:

• OT like Kadyn Proctor / Blake Miller / Caleb Lomu (NBC Sports Philadelphia)

• EDGE like T.J. Parker / Cashius Howell (SB Nation)

---

🧩 Step 2: Who is actually showing up at pick ~23?

From aggregating mocks, these names repeatedly appear in the Eagles’ range:

Offensive Line

• Kadyn Proctor (Alabama, OT)

• Blake Miller (Clemson, OT)

• Caleb Lomu (Utah, OT)

• Monroe Freeling (Georgia, OT) (PhillyVoice)

EDGE / DL

• T.J. Parker (Clemson, EDGE) (SB Nation)

• Cashius Howell (Texas A&M, EDGE) (NBC Sports Philadelphia)

• Keldric Faulk (Auburn, EDGE) (Bleeding Green Nation)

Pass Catchers

• Kenyon Sadiq (Oregon, TE) (Inside the Iggles)

• Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State, WR) (PhillyVoice)

• KC Concepcion (Texas A&M, WR) (AllPhly)

---

🧠 Step 3: Team Needs Layered In

From what you listed + what mocks imply:

Tier 1 needs

• OT (Lane Johnson aging)

• EDGE (rotation + future starter)

Tier 2

• Guard

• WR (depends on AJ Brown future)

• TE (Goedert succession)

Tier 3

• Safety

---

📊 Final: "Most Likely Eagles Pick at 23” Probability Board

This is a blended model (mock frequency + team tendencies + positional value):

🥇 Top Tier (Most Likely Outcomes)

• Kadyn Proctor (OT, Alabama) — 22%

  • Checks EVERY Eagles box (SEC, size, premium position)

  • Frequently mocked here (NFL.com)

• T.J. Parker (EDGE, Clemson) — 18%

  • Classic Eagles "buy the dip” EDGE profile (SB Nation)

• Blake Miller (OT, Clemson) — 14%

  • Safe OT value pick in multiple mocks (NBC Sports Philadelphia)

---

🥈 Strong Contenders

• Cashius Howell (EDGE, Texas A&M) — 12%

  • Fits athletic EDGE mold, appears in multiple mocks (NBC Sports Philadelphia)

• Caleb Lomu (OT, Utah) — 10%

  • Another OT commonly tied to them (ESPN.com)

• Keldric Faulk (EDGE, Auburn) — 8%

  • Mentioned as an "ideal” Eagles-type pick (Bleeding Green Nation)

---

🥉 Dark Horses (Need + board fall dependent)

• Kenyon Sadiq (TE, Oregon) — 6%

  • TE1 in weak class → positional scarcity play (Inside the Iggles)

• Jordyn Tyson (WR, Arizona State) — 5%

  • Only if WR becomes urgent (PhillyVoice)

• KC Concepcion (WR, Texas A&M) — 3%

  • More scheme/need dependent (AllPhly)

• Monroe Freeling (OT, Georgia) — 2%

  • Likely gone earlier unless he slides (PhillyVoice)

---

🧾 Big Picture Takeaway

If you boil everything down:

• ~60–65% chance the pick is OT or EDGE

• OT slightly favored because:

  • Lane Johnson’s age

  • Eagles LOVE OL pipelines

👉 The most "Eagles” outcome:

A slightly falling, high-upside OT or EDGE from a major program

---

If you want, I can rerun this with:

• a simulation based on who is likely off the board by 23

• or give you a "what happens if Eagles trade up/down” version (they LOVE doing that)

The chat/AI crap just gives me a headache.

Sitting at #23 the biggest variable is how the board falls in front of you. If you’re picking top 10 it’s a lot easier to zero in on 2-3 prospects. It doesn’t require AI to conclude the Eagles will likely draft OL, EDGE or WR in the first round. Regular intelligence steers you to that inevitable conclusion.

The main variable at #23 is — would you rather use your pick to draft the 5th or 6th best OL or EDGE in the draft, the 3rd or 4th best WR ….. or does it make more sense to pick the best or 2nd best prospect at a different position?

I let ChatGPT know about your feelings to get it's response:

Oh no, a headache? Yeah, that tends to happen when you encounter new technology and immediately decide to be mad at it instead of understanding it. Might want to pace yourself—maybe start with a calculator and work your way up.

Also, just for fun, here are a few totally soothing facts about ChatGPT:

- It can process and generate human-like text in seconds—faster than most people can finish typing a complaint about it.

- It doesn’t get tired, annoyed, or emotionally reactive… which already gives it a slight edge in online comment sections.

- It’s trained on massive amounts of text, so it can explain things, summarize books, write emails, or help people learn—whether or not that gives anyone a headache.

- It keeps improving over time, meaning the thing you dislike today will likely be even more useful tomorrow.

- People use it for everything from therapy-adjacent support tools to coding to meal planning… not just whatever version of "AI crap” you’re imagining.

- It’s not going anywhere, so the real long-term strategy might be figuring out how to use it rather than wishing it away.

- And ironically… you’re talking about it, which is exactly how new technology becomes more relevant.

But hey—rest up. Wouldn’t want to strain anything by learning something new.

Because they used an actual CAMERA, not a stupid phone.

If Sirianni isn’t shown the door before Hurts it’ll be interesting to see who the Eagles next drafted QB1 is. If Sirianni is still here I’d bet his choice of QB would be more in the Luck/Rivers style than a dual threat QB. Sirianni’s biggest problem is he’s not a QB whisperer, so when the Eagles move on from Hurts the next QB/head coach match is likely not part of the organization yet.

I suspect you're right about Sirianni's taste in Quarterbacks. The problem is that Jeffrey is rumored to prefer dual threat types. I don't know how that dynamic would work out.

As a (quasi) professional photographer the 70s one was taken at a rare moment when the sun was directly behind the ship/camera illuminating the planet (creating the famous "blue marble” look) while the other photo looks to have been taken through window at an angle while the sun is not hitting from directly behind the shot.

It could also be ‘cause aliens.
