With Singleton and Edwards playing good enough football and both Taylor and Bradley learning the ropes, it wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t address the position in the first 3 rounds if at all. You have to take the Eagles draft tendencies into account here. They just don’t value the position and if they think Singleton and Edwards are adequate, they might just roll with what they have. Receiver, corner or even pass rusher is where I see them go with their first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkins4prez Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 If they get a creative, young DC this pick could suddenly fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philafan4o8 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I see the eagles trying to take a flyer on Dylan Moses in the 2nd round than drafting Parsons at #6. Howie has made it clear that LB is not a huge priority when building a team. While I somewhat agree, we at least need competent LBs. not the scrubs that he has been drafting late. Taylor in the 3rd round last year was clearly the wrong move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor in the 3rd round last year was clearly the wrong move. In order for the Taylor pick to pay off, he needs to achieve his potential. Since he's considered a project, you really need that pay off to happen no later than year 3. The problem with the Eagles drafting a project LB with a day 2 pick is that even if he develops on schedule, by the time you are getting the production you need from him, he's due for his second contract and this is where the Eagles are unlikely to keep a good, young LB around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's unlikely they go with Parsons in the first. As you say receiver, corner or pass rusher is the most likely pick. If they trade down to 9/10 and Parsons is still there, it may be a possibility at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeMak Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 He could be the best football player in this draft which means there’s absolutely no way Howie drafts him. Not to mention the complete lack of value the Eagles place on linebacker. Did I mention that Howie won’t draft him because he is a good football player? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtfcares Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 If this guy is anything like kuechly or devin white, we need to get him on this team. We desperately need a young stud playmaker on D. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor in the 3rd round last year was clearly the wrong move. If you take a "project”, round 3 is too early - use a day 3 pick on those prospects. Day 1-2 picks should have more immediate impact. Taylor may very well turn out to be a decent player but we aren’t likely to have an idea until year 3 or 4 and then won’t want to sign him long term because we don’t (usually) value LBs enough to sign them to larger money deals (relatively speaking) and won’t be sure if he is the real deal at that point.

Breeze 44 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 If the Bucs and Bills showed us anything it's that LB matters...I'm not sure Parson equates to Devin White but if someone wanted to trade up and we stayed in top 10 to 12 and recieved a late 1 or early 2 then I would take him. If not we need to go LB in 2nd..we are going young with a new DC and his style seems to be using LB's for pressure as well as cover, not many can do both but that's what scouts are paid for right.

Right4thePicking Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I would love to trade down to 9 and get an extra 2nd and pick Parsons. I really want this guy. Howie think outside the box. If I die next year I want us to go out full throttle. Do it. Just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipples Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Why the hell would they waste the #6 pick on a linebacker? Hell, not even too 10. Not that he isn’t a good player, but linebacker simply isn’t that valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
