Epenesa can really play. He’s one of those guys who’s such a good all-around player in college that he gets propped up to the 1st-2nd round level, then people say "well if he can give me 6-8 sacks, we’re ok,” then everyone calls him a bust when he doesn’t get a bunch of sacks. He’ll impact games for us in all areas, and an in-game line with Epenesa-Carter-Davis will torture QBs with batted balls. His likely spot in our rotation is the ideal role for him. Win all around.

His only drawback is that he is a 4-3 DE rather than a 3-4 OLB, so his proficiency in dropping into pass coverage is a work in process.

IMO, I'd say better than 2025 and lesser than 2024, but we'll see. I think more rests on Hunt and Smith who are the homegrown talents than on Greenard. I don't expect Greenard, at this point and given that he is already dinged, to approach the quality of play or contribution that you'd anticipate from a double digit sack guy...whether you want to look at stats or pressure rate. I think a 2025 Phillips-like contribution feels about right.

I think this is a deeper unit than 2024 if Hunt's production replaces Sweat's production. Huff was a total non-factor that season and I doubt Greenard is going to be in that category but for injuries. Epenesa has looked good and I think is better depth than either Huff or Hunt was as a rookie.

Is that McVay in the swing?

This makes zero sense. If they are that high on McKee you don't bring in Dalton. McKee is in his final contract year so exactly who are they developing him for? Keeping four QBs when #2 and 3 are in the final year of their contract is crazy.

Willaims, Hinton, Gush, and Latu.

Cam Williams is the only one I care about I think he has some potential but not as important with Bell around and they will go OT early next draft and probably their first pick(that or WR).

Don't care about Hinton. Wanted Gush on the PS. Latu will be missed. I wanted Williams as the 11th OL.

Joly to Miami made sense. Tight end room is weak and he took a visit there during the draft. Would’ve liked to keep Williams on practice squad out of the 4 guys we lost

It feels like this entire offseason from OC on has been Howie not being able to do what he set out to do with plan A or even B. Sometimes it works out anyway but it feels that way

Well you got 4 QBs instead lol

Look for both Bernard and Weru to return, but only one gets IPP status - meaning protected for the entire season.

I'd use the spot on Weru. Bernard seems happy here and I doubt he'd leave, but I could be wrong.

Did any other team have four players claimed?

Yeah, Gush is unfortunate. I wanted Majors back more than Williams. Not that I don't think he has potential, but he got beat a lot. Seems further away where in a pinch I think Majors might be respectable.

I thought it was just about being able to use an extra pS spot not being protected

I would have liked them to keep Williams and Latu but they are p/s type players.

Look for Wis and Pulley, Hall and/or Wilson at DT, Ojukwu, Majors, James-Newby, Lawson, Covey, Pierce, Campbell.

Although some may choose to go elsewhere given the depth here at certain positions.

One of the reasons I don't feel great about the team this year. At least on offense it has felt disjointed and unsure if Howie and Sirianni are on the same page.

They first interview Mike McDaniel who runs the Shanahan system, then they go after Daboll who runs another system. Then it's like ok what exactly is the plan here on offense? Then they get shut out of their top 3 guys after missing out on Doyle as well and have to go back to the drawing board. They end up hiring an OC who may be good, but was not even on their radar at the start of the OC search. Then it's like "Well we didn't set out to get this system, his football mind just impressed us."

Then they wanted to keep Stoutland and they had to let him go. Then they are trying to throw together a WR group with AJ Brown being gone. Weird stuff going on with backup QB. And this is only on offense.

The Eagles still have a lot of talent so their ceiling certainly is a very good team, but just me personally, I'm not vibing with them right now. Just don't have a good feeling, but that can change quickly.

I kind of think they go 9-8 or 10-7. Getting better on offense as the season continues on. Although i wouldn’t be shocked if we were worse or if we have an injury plagued year. We haven’t had a season like that in a while and been relatively healthy in terms of a lot of injuries to big time players or just get decimated at a position

I think Weru gets the foreign player protection.

Getting 4 guys claimed is crazy, particularly given how we have all been claiming that the bottom of the roster is weak

I think they could win as low as 7 and as high as 12. More variance than years past. I think the reality will be somewhere in the middle, 9ish wins, but to me that bumps up very quickly if the OL looks 2024ish and the running game is dominant or one of the non Devonta WRs looks legit. But I'm not expecting things to just work out that smoothly, few things in sports work out that seamlessly.

Kinda weird. Don't love the bottom part of the 53. Yet! But do like the PS potential, as we see who lands there. Got some usable guys for depth there. Only really hated losing Williams. And Gush to a lesser extent.
