I really want to see a bills chiefs afc title game. I feel like that matchup is going to be awesome. 

That Texans/Bills playoff game last year was one of the funnest games I've ever watched. It was amazing. I need more of that directly in my veins.

I'd like to see Rodgers get one more

For those in the trade up/trade back crowd; citing from the 2018 draft:

For the Jets to move up from #6 overall to #3, they traded the #6 overall pick, two second-round picks (#37 and #49), AND their 2nd round pick in 2019.  There’s no way the Eagles are in any position to give up that amount of draft capital to move up three spots.

Tampa Bay moved back from #7 overall to #12 overall and threw in their 7th round pick (#255), and in exchange they received that #12 overall pick, plus two second round selections (#53 and #56) to do so.

 

I think it will be interesting to see how teams react this year with draft pick value, COVID and opt outs. I'm guessing value goes down, teams are less enthused about trading up.

Yup the NBA is boarder line unwatchable.

I grew up watching the bad boy pistons and the Jordan rules, I was taught to play the same way, no lay up rule, foul hard, now a days no defense, tic tac fouls 130 points a game every team Jack's up 50 3s a game 10 of them by the Center, who never post up, it's tough to watch.

Grew up in the same area. Was born in Chicago and saw that bad boys and bulls go at it. Saw the bulls 3peat but was always a Lakers guy. I still watch to this day but it has become a **** sport

Good bye, good bye, good bye, good bye, good bye, welcome back, good bye, good bye, welcome back, good bye, good bye, good bye, F off, good bye.

Honest opinion

Could we get a 3rd for Hurts?

Could we get a 5th for Ertz? 

 

Yes and yes.  More importantly, I'm sick of talking about these guys to my wife because she can't tell who I'm talking about.

Me: Hurts just made a pretty awesome play.

Wife: Did you say Hurts or Ertz?  

Me: Hurts

Wife: Who else got hurt?  

Me:

I can see both Mills and Rodgers being back

Whats funny all the big draft team trades i never remember one of the teams receiving the haul ended up being good. 

Rams turned RG3 into like 11 picks in the top 100 and nothing happened. 

Falcons gave up a boat load for Vick and the Chargers did nothing with it.

Redskins and the Saints for Ricky Williams

Unfortunately, I think Dallas in the 90s disagrees with you.  That trade paved the way to 3 SBs for that disgusting franchise.

Mills just got $4M and will probably want more because he wasn't a complete liability like he usually is. He can go with Schwartz. Rodgers, meh. He's always hurt and will be 29 in a month. I think they can replace him fairly easily with some UDFA scrub.

Rodgers played decent for us. I think he sticks around and backs Goedert up

I can't believe I'm saying this, but based on our secondary play this year and the lack of depth/injuries, I'd welcome Mills back on a cap friendly deal.  I know this won't be a popular take.  😂

Good video. Absolves Pryor a bit (but he still sucks)

Thing with him is I don't know how cap friendly he will actually be. I think he will want a bump from his last contract so you are looking at like a $5 to $6M per year safety. That puts him around top 20 for S salaries. And we might have a completely new D coordinator and scheme. I think you can find someone cheaper and not miss much of a beat.

If he can stay healthy he'd be decent. But out of 48 games the last thee years he's been healthy for 22

If the Eagles are three years away, (i.e. next two seasons are about clearing out the cap and developing young talent), then they should be looking to add as many picks as possible in this draft. Most teams make a jump when a critical mass of young players are in their 2nd and 3rd seasons, rookies rarely make a difference,  Even QBs, hard to make a case that Barrow or Tua are difference makers as rookies, Herbert yes. Young on Wash? Thomas on the Giants? Brown, SImmons, or Henderson?

Ruggs #12, has 23 catches for 414 yards. Lamb and Jefferson started this season as the #3 WR on their teams, i.e., they weren't asked to carry the load.

Point is Eagles will get to draft high in 2022 and 2023, so there's no rush to get "THE PLAYER." in the 2021 draft, SFAs, UDFAs, waiver wire they need to be adding as many athletes as possible and developing them the next two seasons - when you have the base of a team built, THEN a star or two can make a big difference.

The interesting thing about the 2021 draft is there are few teams with multiple high picks — just MIA and JAX, really.  Both of those teams are still building their roster, so I can’t see either of them trading picks to move up (JAX is already #1 as it is)

Do I dare dream that either SF or NE would give up #14 or #15 for Hurts?  Neither of those teams even have a 3rd round pick, which would make it hard to move up at the draft.

Probably more likely those two teams would be in the Mariota/Trubisky market.

Yeah, I'm out on him if that's the case.  For some reason, I thought he was only $1.5 mil this season, and I would only want him back if he was on the cheap.

This year he was 36th out of 203 among S. I'll take him for cheap if no one wants him.

Really don't know many prospects this season and on this site if you want to get an assessment of a player then you need to go to the main site to read up on them.  I did like the trade offer function as I did get 2 offers for the #6 pick and traded down a spot to #7 so I could move up from #70 to #42.  Had a couple other offers later, but declined them.

Chase was BPA.  Bolton is a player I know a bit about from the IWTETG section and him paired with Singleton could be 2 heat seeking missiles at LB.  Stokes I remembered him from last season where he was considered a 5th rounder with upside and IIRC he's a ballhawk.  The others I really know nothing about and was going off the site's evaluations/rankings.  Figured Hill could be IOL help and the D could certainly use more DBs.  Mitchell is decent sized RB at 5'11"  218 so worth a late round flyer.  Kind of fun.  Thanks.

 

I sincerely believe that multiple members of this board could and would have drafted circles around Howie with no access to film, no interviews, and by simply gathering information from the blog and IWTETG.

Yep, Kelce has always had a habit of being a bit late with the snap on occasion.  Yesterday was just a lot more of it than usual.

No complaints overall though for a guy that deserves every bit of his 4 pro bowls and has an outside shot at Canton.

If we get a 3rd for Ertz, I'll drink the colonoscopy prep for fun while out to dinner with in-laws.

Technically he utilized the s properly since he was using the word as a possessive noun.  He just forgot the apostrophe.  

The Eagles are second only to the Jets as the worst team in the NFL heading into 2021.
