PoconoDon Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 34 minutes ago, New Zealand Eagle said: I don't see how we can target WR round 1 with the holes on OL. Look at Dallas, what good does a star studded pass catching group do for you if your QB is on his back most snaps. Early days, but i say OL round 1 then WR round 2 or 3. I feel the opposite. I think it's far easier to find an impact O-lineman after the 1st round than an impact WR. Look at our best starting O-line of the past few years: LT - JP (undrafted.) LG - Seumalo - (3rd Rd.) C - Kelce (6th Rd.) RG - Brooks (3rd Rd.) Rt - Johnson (1st Rd.) I will say this though, if the team could only fill 1 big hole on the roster at O-line or WR, then yes, draft O-line for the QB's sake. I just don't see the Eagles as having that huge hole requiring a 1st round pick, especially if Mailata develops into a solid LT. I do see a hole at WR#1 though. Time will tell.

We need a new young C but I think we can pick up a good option in this middle rounds. We probably need to add another OG but again I'd go middle rounds. LT I would leave for next year. Mailata holds that spot and I'd let Dillard fight it out with him in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Broncos won, Thomas was a 1300 yard receiver. To be honest the Patriots are skewing things because they have won so damn much and don’t have an elite receiver in those years. 15 hours ago, Iggles_Phan said: The Broncos won because their defense was all-world, not because of Demarius Thomas. Yeah - Thomas was very good but had 1 catch for 8 yards in the Super Bowl. Hill is also very good, but only has one season over 1150 yards and that wasn’t the Super Bowl year. Most Super Bowl teams in the past 20 years don’t have an elite receiver. We need to focus on the D now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchesterEagle Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 This may have been dealt with, but do we have Fulgham on his 2019 rookie deal through waivers? So do we have another 2 years of control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed a one year deal but as he has less than 3 years in the league, he will be an exclusive rights free agent, so provided we offer him the minimum, he's not going anywhere. Gives us time to get that contract sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb235 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 A nice look at a route that Fulgham ran from the slot. Him having inside/outside versatility is pretty big. It makes it easier for the team to create mismatches, especially since Reagor can do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did take Dillard in the 1st, but he's currently about to lose his job to a 7th round project who never played football. You add in guys who are playing because of injury. Mailata 7th, Pryor 7th, Driscoll 4th, Prince 6th, previously Big V 5th. With Stoutland he's a great coach that can work with these guys. You don't "have" to take O lineman high, as evidenced by guys from mid to late rounds he can develop. I don't think you really go into any draft focused on just 1 position in a certain round. You see what players are in the draft, gather your evaluations and build your board and you try to build the best team possible. You probably have certain positions you want to come away with from the draft, but not stuck on what round you take them. That's how you could potentially reach and miss out on top talent.

Sure he probably COULD play there (I’m fairly certain he could) but a guy with his size and athleticism you want on the outside. Ward isn’t a game breaker by any means, but I like him to stay in the slot. Reliable hands and can find openings to pick up first downs. Fulgham and Reagor on the outside should be a tough combo. You’ve got your physical, lengthy receiver on one side and your speedster on the other. Now if they did happen to draft another WR high that is more of an outside guy, I think Reagor is the one you move to the slot. Well, supposedly, they really liked both Reagor and Jefferson, and the biggest reason they chose Reagor is that they felt he could play the outside, and they felt that was more important and harder to find than a good slot receiver.

matchew88 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I think what we are starting to see from these guys is just the product of good coaching. Fulgham aside, I think the new WR coach is already showing to be much better than Squelch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fans we knock the position coaches when players are not playing well and aren't improving... So it is only right that we give them credit when players do play well.

Reagor was looking pretty good before the injury. Fulgham obviously tearing it up. Which goes to show just how bad JJAW is... all these young receivers being coached up and playing well, yet our 2nd round pick a year ago is nearly invisible.

Fulgham is beating out Jeffery playing X. Jeffery is greater than JJAW (his backup and former and no longer "heir apparent" ). At the beginning of the year, Reagor was filling in at X because Jackson was healthy and the team really wanted to get Reagor on the field as much as possible. Hightower has been filling in at Z, but will see a significant drop in snap count when Reagor returns since Z is what they really drafted Reagor to play.

Hightower has been really quite impressive i think. I mean I know he's had the drops but he's a fifth round rookie. He's come up with some decent plays so far. 9 for 166 through 7 games? I mean he could end up with... 20 for 400 roughly for the year which would be right up there with what our WRs produced last year... and he's what the #4?

The need on O line is guard and center rather than tackle, and you can usually pick up good ones in the 2nd, if we're picking higher than 15 then any guard we picked would have to be like an all pro out of the box level prospect.

It’s encouraging that he keeps getting open, especially downfield. I think eventually he’ll start hauling in more of those passes. He’s a rookie getting acclimated to the NFL.
