Thanks. Who do you like the most after the top 3 guys (Tate, Tyson, Lemon)?

My guy has been Bryce Lance. It seems lazy because same school, but hes literally another Christian Watson, however, healthier and better hands. He has the highest upside of any WR in this class imo.

I also love Fields despite the slower 40. If youre looking for an AJ Brown, big possession WR who can also physically outmatch CBs and also get down field.

And, I came around to liking Concepcion, but Id prefer one of the 2 aforementioned bigger X types over that jitterbug underneath RAC type that Concepcion is. At least early in the draft.

How did I do?

Pretty good. Wish you got us a better TE.

If those were pictures of Vrabel and Daniel Jeremiah sitting by the pool together it would be the most normal picture ever. If they were lightly hugging that’s not really anything. The hand in hand thing was a bit odd, but still wouldn’t be red alerts everywhere. There’s a strong possibility this is absolutely nothing… or it’s everything. But just firing her just in case is stupid

They don’t have to air everything they know. There’s a lot of obvious stuff here that everyone knows that no one has to confirm. The Times wouldn’t fire her on what amounts to a rumor.

I'll take the 6 foot 6 267 pound guy who is a 9.94 RAS guy who is probably the best blocking tight end in the draft over pretty much anyone remaining after round 1. Also caught 20+ more balls than Delp... Who you want?

Perception is reality

She shoukd absolutely be fires. Vrabel too

If I were to rank all of my draftable TEs in this class, Roush makes my list. He is the absolute bottom prospect on that list. And so, if someone would draft him with our last pick, Id be ok but Id still say, I wish you drafted another TE earlier so Roush isnt our only solution. Because, hes not going to be a TE1 in the NFL, and we have that need.

I could probably list 10-15 TEs Id take ahead of him.

Some crazy good Chris Johnson stats in this vid.

And the nugget about Gracen Haulton having a game against Proctor giving up about 80 pounds in their matchup.

Target share, and yards per route run have been mentioned as excellent predictors for WR scouting.

I assume this must have been filmed quite a while ago but its embarrassing at this point to have one scout talking about Thieneman as an underdog, and Mayock saying "Ill have to check him out!"

The Eagles have to be doing homework on WR. Even those who believe AJ Brown will still be an Eagle after June 1 should recognize there’s very little chance he’s still an Eagle through 2027.

Roush might be the best blocking TE3 in this class, but his route tree is essentially outs, delays to the flat and drags. There’s no vertical element to his game. In this draft in the 4th you can still get guys with that receiving upside that he doesn’t have. Roush does have a useful skillset that we need but I’d rather wait a round or two and get Kacmarek, who’s fundamentally the same guy but wasn’t getting spammed throws underneath at OSU.

Some guy who covers the Pats was on WIP and said the Pats remain firm on their price of a 2nd round pick and pick swap for Brown. He also said he thinks the deal will get done on June 2nd. He must be a moron if he thinks Howie is trading Brown for a 2nd, unless it's a conditional 2nd that can easily become a 1st which he didn't mention.

Outside the box idea:

Draft Avieon Terrell at 23 and move Coop to safety full time. The more I look into Terrell the more I like him and I think Cooper could possibly be even better at safety. Not nearly as outside the box but I am all for drafting Thieneman or EMW as well.

I'm currently in the mode of looking for something different at 23 because unless someone falls none of the OL, Edge Rushers, or WR's expected to be there excite me all that much. I feel like even at 23 drafting someone like Boston, Cooper, Lomu, Miller, Parker, etc would be really underwhelming and not Eagles like. Premium positions or not, I would rather draft someone with massive upside than settle for filling a need. Howie hasn't drafted for need since Reagor and everything changed for him as a drafter since that failure so I have no reason to believe he will go back to that. I could see Proctor, Iheanachor, Faulk , or Tyson because they do have upside but these other guys are just meh.

Thoughts??

Safety, or Howell/Lawrence don't care of those edges are considered a reach. Those are the guys.

Like Terrell a lot but Coop isn't moving. Also, Chris Johnson should be ranked ahead of Terrell.

I finally did my deep dive into who the Eagles have talked to at the combine and who has been reported to come in for a top 30 visit. All I can say is they are REALLY doing their homework on the OL, WR, and TE positions.

I just saw the funniest thing on the chat for ITB's recent video breaking down their biggest draft needs. They had CB as the teams biggest need and someone rightfully called them out for how silly that is with Quinyon and Dejean and they said Dejean is a nickel, not a CB, LMAO.

I absolutely HATE the entire concept of moving DeJean.

He’s the best nickel corner in the NFL, and it’s not particularly close. Slot WRs now routinely are the primary weapon of an offense, and so the NCB probably has the most direct impact of any DB on the field because of the volume of targets they face and their involvement in the run game.

Why in the world would you move the best player in the entire NFL from his natural high impact position to an unnatural position which has less impact on the game in order to accommodate a lesser talented rookie?

It makes absolutely zero sense. We need a safety, not a NCB. This is one of the deepest safety classes in recent memory. So draft a safety. Not a DeJean replacement. A safety.

Vrabel works for Kraft. Two of a kind.

Being a nit wit is probably what’s made her so popular. Normal journalists and insiders don’t get noticed, it’s the crazies that do. Her, Skip, mcafee… the schtick is the selling point

Not sure I agree. Skip is not a journalist anymore, he's a hot take artist. And even then, he was questionable as a journalist (he started that whole Aikmen is gay thing). Mcafee is more of a podcaster TBH.

Take it with a grain of salt coz the internet is the internet but...

It's been out there in Titan land for a while that they were having an affair, but the rumour lacked the outright confirmation to be legit- just lots of I saw them together, etc etc. It was supposedly an open secret in NFL circles how close they were.

Also, the NYP were not the first outlet to be offered the photos either; TMZ and others all turned them down.

You're not concerned that he's 24 and basically ran go routes at North Dakota? I am not sure that we have the type of coaching staff that can develop him as a player.

There are other pictures of them coming out now. Some people are suggesting that a PI was hired by her husband.

I'm wondering how common this might be in the sports world, but it was these two that got caught.

I heard the same thing on the radio (NFL radio I think) recently with an oldhead talking - Bill Polian maybe. The Eagles have a desperate need at corner - when the host reminded him that they have not only Quinyon and DeJean but that they signed Tariq Woolen this offseason, it was clear that he had ZERO idea of any of that. These guys just throw crap at the wall and hope something sticks - very few of them actually go beyond scratching the surface on any team.
