But I would be a little disappointed and I do feel like this team has so many other issues it needs to address. Like @Alphagrand said; Bengals will likely pick in the top 3 and won’t pass on Sewell. If for some reason he’s still on the board, it would be hard to pass on a generational talent like Sewell. If they take him, they could potentially try to trade Dillard and recoup a second or third for him. At this point I’m assuming he won’t be an option for us but you never know. We’ll likely be picking in that 4-8 range. Top prospects available. will probably be the likes of Parsons, Chase, Paye, Rousseau and Surtain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I like Devonta Smith a lot but I don’t view him as a top 5 prospect in the upcoming draft. Maybe top 10 but that’s debatable too. Unless Chase blows it at the combine, I can’t see Smith or Waddle overtake him. That’s assuming he truly is that good and he’ll not fall off a cliff all of a sudden. If we pick in that 4-8 range, it’s too early to take either Waddle or Smith IMO. I’d be more comfortable taking them in that 12-18 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me crazy. I don't think they give up on Barnett. Matter of fact I think they extend him. Graham is having a good year and that keeps them from drafting a DE in the 1st rd this year. It's a weak class and the 2 best guys don't really stick out that much. Rousseau and Paye are good but they could get a guy like DeAndre Johnson later in the draft or Ossai if he falls to the 2nd rd. Reason I would go Smith if Chase is off the board (which I hope that's not the case) is because if Wentz is your guy then put all your chips in and get him reliable wrs he can grow with. Stop the musical chairs at wr. They messed up the last 2 drafts and reached on guys putting us in the same position we've been in the last 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG will turn 33 next year, Barnett is okay but hasn’t lived up to his draft status, Sweat is a good rotational DE but will be entering the last year of his rookie deal. Keep in mind; this organisation loves to draft pass rushers. They simply feel more comfortable taking a DE high over any other position except for maybe OT and QB. Heck, they do it about every 4 to 5 years. Therefor I believe edge rusher is definitely in play in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With it being a weak year for DE and a deep oline and wr class I do believe they'll wait until later in the draft. Howie has put the team in this position with striking out on the wr position. We could have been in a position to take whoever this year if Howie drafted a Metcalf or Jefferson. I'd love to get a guy like Surtain but with striking out I think they need to go wr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibleedgreen1990 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Would definitely prefer to go another direction even if he drops to us. Or trade back and let someone else take him. He is a stud and I like bpa but I think we are solid at tackle right now. Would definitely prefer to go another direction even if he drops to us. Or trade back and let someone else take him.

philafan4o8 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I am a little confused do y’all want Sewell to play LT or RT (Replace Lane)? He is not a guard and it would be a disservice to put him at guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolg Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I would definitely take Sewell if he falls to #6 pick. He might be the best player in the entire draft. But he won't get past the Bengals at #5. So they'd have to trade up. I'm not sure that's the most prudent thing to do, since the Eagles are already stacked at Tackle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentwo Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Sewell seems to be one of the best players in this draft regardless of position. Replacing Lane seems to have become a bigger issue this year. He is getting older and injuries piling up. Locking in the tackles with Jordan and Sewell would be nice with Dillard as the back up. The Oline also has to worry about Brooks as he has serious injury history and Kelce potential retiring. If Isaac moves to center to replace Kelce, then the guards are in bad shape if Brooks can't bounce back. Maybe Dillard or Jordan can fill one of those spots? Pryor, Herbing, etc... should not be starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
