Remaining signings -

S Marcus Epps

LS Jacob Bobenmoyer - the youngers veteran LS availalbe.

Trade alert - here's one that's not been discussed. AJ to Buffalo for a 1 (pick 26), Keon Coleman, and a 2027 3rd. Coleman has been the Buffalo whipping boy and need s new start. Brandon Beane has continuously been criticized for not giving Josh Allen the right tools so he loads up with DJ Moore and AJ.

The Eagles send a 2026 5th and a 2027 5th to Arizona for our old friend Josh Sweat, giving the Birds the big edge they're missing. This ides comes from one of our other forum posters - thanks

Draft -

1-23 Safety Adam Theineman, Oregon. 6'0" 201 4.35. Freeling is long gone so another plan takes shape. We started Mukuba as a rookie, but Blankenship was there to coach im on the field. Unless Theineman is a prodigy, Epps will start earlt in the season. When he gets in our secondary will be the finest in football.

1- 26 OT Max Iheanachor, Arizona State. 6'6" 321 4.91. Big FRed is gone, Williams/Hinton/Pierce are question marks. Lane is close to retirement. 'Nuff said!

2 -54 WR Chris Brazell II, Tennessee. 6'4" 198 4.37. With AJ gone he becomes the WR2 with Coleman WR3.

3-68 G Jennings Dunker, Iowa. 6'5" 319 5.18. He shined at the senior bowl and Iowa is an OL factory. More than adeqately replaces Pryor and a possible Steen replacement in 2027 when he's a FA.

3-98 Edge Dani Dennis Sutton, Penn State. 6'4" 266 4.73. Completes the room. Another bigger edge. the room is now Sweat, Smith, Hunt, Ebikitie, and DDS.

4-122 QB Carson Beck, Miami (FL). 6'4" 233 4.74. Eagles only have 2 QB's on the roster. All Beck does is win.

4-137 TE Eli Raridon Notre Dame.6'6" 245 4.62. Calcaterra's one dimensional play just isn't enough. Goedert's eventual replacement fills the position with Goedert and Mundt.

5-153 Traded to Arizona in Sweat deal.

6-215 IOL Trey Zuhn III, Texas A&M. 6'6" 315 5.30. Versitile ala Brett Toth. An absolutge mist on the roster.

The Eagles have 62 on their current roster. Adding Sweat, Epps, and the long snapper makes 65. 9 draft picks brings the total to 74 which leave room for 16 UDFA's.

The Eagles like UDFA's to have traits that set them up for success.

QB Haynes King, Georgia Tech. 6'2" 212 4.46 even with a draft pick we still only have 3 and we need a PS QB

QB Mark Gronkowski Iowa 6'3" 225 The battle for #4

RB Jam Miller, Alabama 5'9" 218 4.42 (Kick returner?)

RB CJ Donaldson Ohio State 6'2" 238 (FB?)

WR/RB Eli Heidenreich, Navy 6'0" 206 4.44, Besides the H-W-S he's the kind of guy you just want around and is a winner.

WR Zavion Thomas LSU 5'10" 190 4.28 Speed kills

TE Marlin Klein, Michigan 6'6" 248 4.61 Probably better than all of out TE's not in the top 4

C Jager Burton Tennessee 6'3" 316 4.94 H-W-S

G/T Ethan Onianwa Ohio State 6'7" 345 5.55 A winner, versitile and great size

DT Devon Eastern Minnesota 6'5" 315 4.80 H-W-S

Edge Mason Reiger Woosconsin 6'5" 251 4.78 H-W-S

LB Namdi Obiazon TCU 6'3" 229 4.53

LB Wesley Bissainthe Miami (FL) 6'2" 225

CB Ephesians Prysock Washington 6'3" 196 4.45 H-W-S

CB Andre Fuller Toledo 6'1" 200 4.49 H-W-S

S Robert Spears-Jennings Oklahoma 6'2" 205 4.32 Speed kills

Send to Roseman!

Sweat will take at least a 3.

Not sure Buffalo goes up a 1 after giving up a 2 and 5 for DJ. They have so many holes to fill on defense.

I like the draft, but would prefer to take a shot on a CB or DT than another IOL at the end of the draft.

Let's hope not. My thoughts are that a team that knows it's going nowhere would want to load up on young players and preserve cap space for the necy couple of years. Hopefully they say to themselves - "why keep a contract like his for a guy who won't be around when we get good?"
