After the team went downhill in 2012 it only took a few years for Howie to build a contender (and that was after having to clean up quite a mess Kelly made of the roster for the short time he was here). The team went downhill again in 2020 only to return to the Super Bowl 2 years later. So it doesn't take the man long to acquire the right talent. How long do you project it takes him this time to turn this team around?

So wait… we have 2 first round picks in 2027 and 3 second round picks? Then 2 first round picks in 2028 and 2 second round picks then in 2029? Jeez Howie has a lot to work with there.

One of those 2027 2nd rd picks is actually a 2028 2nd (from the Cam Jurgens trade). I don't see where we acquired another 2nd in 2027, so Kerr needs to check his work. Edited with corrected graphic.

But the question remains, how long will it take Howie to build this team back into being a contender? I still has quite a few picks to work with.

Who knows what Howie will acquire by the end of today's trade deadline. Im sure the Davis trade told teams that almost anybody is available on the eagles. Teams fighting for playoff spots who have suffered injuries with starters may be wiling to overpay, similar to Jacksonville.

Draft day 2027 is going to be a wild ride.....

I sure hope so!! Would love a couple extra picks in 2027 in what is supposed to be a loaded draft. Hoping to re-build the OL first and foremost. Then maybe we can use our 2028 picks to grab a QB if that is the direction we decide to go.

Add another (late) pick for Howie to work with.

As far as the question how long it takes Roseman to turn them into a contender, it could be next year or 3 years from now.

The biggest question is coaching and QB.

If Sirianni is let go, the next head coach will probably want to bring in a QB that he wants to develop......and nobody knows what Hurts health will be....

If Sirianni stays, they simply can't go with Mannion or any other completely inexperienced OC again. Hiring inexperienced OC has gone from lousy to ridiculous and embarrassing.

And Fangio will probably retire from this mess and dealing with Sirianni. So a new OC and new DC.....

After those issues, the main issues are:

Rebuild the offensive line.

Edge Rusher

Safety

TE

RB.....Barkley will be 30, Bigsby is a free agent and Shipley isn't anything special.

Go Howie Go....!!

it all just depends on what his plan is. If this is a full rebuild who knows when this team will be relevant again, as he would have to hit on a lot of draft picks and HC. I seriously think he runs the risk of eventually losing his job if he blows it all up and expects lightning to strike a 3rd time.

I can see 2 main pathways for next season...

One that has us in draft position to take Jeremiah Smith, retain Hurts, rebuild the OL as best as possible.

One that has us in draft position to take a top QB, we trade Hurts, rebuild the OL.

Either of those with or without Sirianni. First is more likely with Siri, 2nd is more likely without Siri.

Of course, we could do neither and end up drafting the top Edge rusher.

As of now the Eagles next 3 drafts look like this -

2027:

RD

1 Eagles

1 Jags

2 Eagles

3 ...............Potential comp. pick for losing Jaelen Philips

4 Eagles

5 Eagles

5 Ravens

5 Patriots

6 Eagles

7 Eagles

2028:

RD

1 Eagles

1 Patriots

2 Eagles

2 Ravens

3 Eagles

4 Eagles

5 Eagles

6 Eagles

7 Eagles

2029:

1 Eagles

2 Eagles

2 Jags

3 Eagles

4 Eagles

5 Eagles

6 Eagles

7 Eagles

That's 27 picks over the next 3 drafts and as reported everywhere, 10 picks in the first 2 rounds over that same time frame. FIVE 1st rounders and FIVE 2nd rounders...so far...Go Howie!!!

GO EAGLES!!!

Great job to gain all of these draft picks. BUT, who is going to Coach them? Some bad Coaching on this team. Might need 5-8 new coaches.

A team has to marry the two together…..good players still need good coaching. Sometimes that’s tough to harvest.

Hard to say if Sirianni will even be the HC come next season. Gut says that is 50/50 right now (see how the rest of the season shakes out ... I mean if we end up with only 3 or 4 wins, how can you justify bringing him back even with the injuries despite what he has accomplished here). Have to figure if he goes then we'll have a whole new coaching staff.

There were reports that the Bengals' trade for Ebikitie cancelled out their 3rd round comp pick for Hendrickson. Bengals musta saw that report on twitter and said Oh sh!t!

The recrutement département will need to work his ass Big time with all those draft picks and Howie needs to choose wisely

I'll be impressed when he starts firing COACHES, not players.

I am hopeful that the path forward is we can Sirianni after the season and start with an entirely new coaching staff, use the 2027 draft to build the OL, then the extra picks on 2028 to grab the right QB to lead us to Lombardi#3.

I thought after a certain date players added no longer count against the comp pick formula.

I can get on board with this.

Hell, just hire the best NEPA HS coaches to finish out the season as Eagle Coaches. Their season will be over soon. Might find a hidden gem somewhere in there amongst one of said Coaches. 😬🙃🦅😊

How the hell could Cincinnati's GM not know this before agreeing to a trade??
