Please, no more mock drafts, they're all abject nonsense.

At the least for each and every player explain what they like about the player and how he fits with the likely Sirianni/Ganno schemes as opposed to look what a program designed to entice you to play let you do.

I stumbled upon him last draft as a later round CB, so he's one of the names I know.  Guess he was draft eligible last year, but stayed in school and is now an early round prospect.

Who the  F names their kid McCorkle? 

 

It sounds like a secret menu liquor item at McDonalds.

He’s climbing up some mock drafts.  He was a potential 3rd rounder in most, now he’s seems to be a solid 2nd. 
 

Has all the skills lacks nothing Physically. Can he clean up his technique? Under right coaching I believe he’s a probowl CB

Or we could just enjoy playing a mock game and sharing it with everyone so they could critique it.

Hurts is no McNair.  JFC.   And you can pull up stats about accuracy all you want.  McNair was a great passer and a bona fide stud.   I can see Lance being a better comparison to McNair.   But even that is a stretch.   

I don’t think McNair would have been a stud in today’s league but still a respectable NFL starter that doesn’t get Tebow comparisons 

 

Looking forward to seeing what Reagor looks like in year 2.

I feel good about Reagor moving forward given his age and his natural gifts. Some of those mis-throws (ex: the 2nd Arizona play) was on him, not the QB. Still, the average separate per route is notable.

If he can improve his route-running to better set up the deep ball, we're in good shape.

Good interview on wip with Albert breer. It was a good listen and some better behind the scenes info. I’d post the link but the app doesn’t allow me to copy and paste it

You know my position on the mock drafts last year?  Well, suddenly I'm a fan.  

I say we all tag AF everytime one is done.

In some respects, this is a big off-season for all of the young WRs.  They have an opportunity, through poor cap management and draft selections, to get meaningful playing time if they are prepared to do the little things in their game like blocking.  If I were a Fulgham, Watkins or Hightower, I'd be working my backside off to show the new coaching staff that I am good enough to be retained

100% it's a big off-season for them but I don't think the Eagles can really rely on any of them as being the answer.

Fulgham is such an enigma.   Who is he?  Is he the guy who jumped around for PS to PS with questionable practice habits?  Is he capable of being the Eagles leading WR?  How much of his decline was because DP wanted to feed Alshon?  Did he sulk and start bad practice habits again once his PT went down?  

I don't think Hightower makes the team, I think there are better all-around WR available this year in the middle rounds.

Watkins showed a little but again, they should have been feeding him the ball to see what he really is.  Is he a #3 or just a backend roster guy?

What sucks is the Eagles season was toast.  They could have been getting long looks at these young players and getting some film on them during live game action with teams that were fighting for the playoffs.  Instead, they thought they had something and continued to run out the vets.  Now we still don't know what we have in Fulgham, Hightower, Watkins and even Reagor and we're going to have to depend on most likely another strange off-season.

Had those young guys played as much as possible they could have either shown that they can be relied on or they could have shown that WR needs to be a focus.  We really have no idea and the Eagles will be forced to draft a WR or even 2.

Agree, they can't rely on them, but there isn't a choice in that. 

Watching the ITB podcast yesterday and their discussion the d-end position.  There is no depth there, the same for DT and then the same for LB and DB. I'm not sure the team can afford to draft too many WRs in the draft this year, or many O players.  They need picks elsewhere to fill bigger holes - the OL can be worked out as with the parts that are already there.

Changing tack, this was fair from Jenkins re: Wentz:

F- 

Not getting 53 players out of a draft is terrible.  

@PFF_Eric

 

The #Buccaneers and #Chiefs were 1-2 in WAR per dollar spent at the cornerback position. They also played in the Super Bowl

 

LA and GB also in the top 5. WAR maps to wins quite well

 

MIN, LV, DET, PHI, DAL bottom 5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1499 hours to go. So we should be on the clock in about 1500 hours.

Mac Jones’ name is actually Michael McCorkle Jones. McCorkle is probably some family name.

I get your point but good players should do that regardless. Simply put ... that’s what good players do.

It was a long interview with a bunch of different things he went into was able to find this so should be able to listen to it 

https://www.radio.com/94wip/podcasts/angelo-cataldi-and-the-morning-team-234/albert-breer-the-departure-of-pederson-wentz-357885035

The Eagles should just accept you can't build a team in one draft, it's going to take a bunch of avenues to add talent.

The biggest turnover will be in the secondary, I think Gannon has a totally different vision of what he wants, and most of our current DBs don't fit.

LB could be transformed with coaching and adding a legitimate WLB.

The DL is solid upfront, they need depth and development projects.

The OL needs depth, WR needs one stud, TE needs depth, RB needs a power back.

I'd fix the offense this draft to give Hurts the best chance to develop, then carpet bomb defense in 2022.

Went with some McDonald’s tonight. Been eating really healthy lately but was craving a Big Mac. Well... big mistake! Had one that attacked me from the sides. Started out as just air then boom, the fresh sounds of Niagara Falls and the smell of any alley in Baltimore on garbage day. 

McDonald's literally makes me feel hungover after I eat it.  Same thing with Taco Bell.  I think the quality of the food is so bad that my body has started to reject it immediately and I get headaches and sweats.  Sorry @HazletonEagle.  

This past Sunday, I don't really know what I was thinking but I usually do a huge crock pot so my wife and I have leftovers for dinner for a few nights.  I put on a chicken coconut curry at about 10 am.  It takes about 6-7 hours, so without thinking, I got Chipotle for lunch, with my usual mass quantities of ass fire-lava inducing hot tomatillo red sauce.  For those interested, it's delicious.

So in 1 day, my diet was Chipotle and Indian food.  It's not hard to predict what happened at about 10 pm.

The Eagles should just accept you can't build a team over 4 drafts, and fire Howie Roseman

FYP

Thinking about Reagor, one thing I noticed again and again is he consistently gets separation, he's hard to tackle in the open field, yet he doesn't look that fast - wonder what film analysis says about his on field speed? Whereas Desean looked fast, Maclin didn't, due to his smooth stride, wonder if that's the case with Reagor.

Coming out of college, Reagor was tracked as the second fastest WR after Ruggs,

Ruggs reached 21.94 mph and Reagor was second at 20.80 mph. 

To put that into perspective, according to NFL NextGen Stats, just three Eagles reached faster speeds in 2019: DeSean Jackson (21.4, 20.86), Miles Sanders (21.01, 20.90) and Nelson Agholor (21.11).

Only Pederson would take one of the fastest WRs in the NFL and turn him into a slot WR, then push Howie to draft for speed.
