We save cap space by trading him and save 17M-16M-17M in 2022/2023/2024 if we do that. I'm in. No money guaranteed on his contract after this year though.

That’s a lot of coin you’re committing to an injury prone guy. I don’t know if I’d even give up a 7th for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggles_Phan Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 30 minutes ago, ManuManu said: Even if that were true, that doesn’t mean Pitts isn’t a better prospect than every one of them. Correct. And the flip side is, it doesn't mean that he is, nor that he has any greater guarantee of success than they did. You said it earlier, to justify picking a TE in the top 10, he has to be the top 1 or 2 TEs in the NFL for an extended period of time to justify the selection. Further, the coaching staff needs to know how to be creative enough to maximize that unique skill set. We'll see what Sirianni and Co. decide to do offensively. But, with Goedert already on the roster, that selection also seems a bit like a doubling down of a position that is not that vital to overall success, while using another premium pick at that position. If Pitts is the top selection, I do hope that they trade down to grab him and mitigate the risk a bit. Frankly, with almost no exceptions, I prefer a trade back in this draft and really hope that the QBs start to generate a great deal of buzz. For that reason, I am discouraged by the latest rumor out of Novacare regarding the team's commitment to Hurts. They should be putting the opposite message out, even if it's not true. Send Hurts a 'thinking of you' card if necessary to placate him, in that case, and they are worried about his ego. But, make the other teams believe that a QB in the top 6 is absolutely a probable outcome for the Eagles and drive that price up a little. And even if it backfires and a team jumps you to grab a QB... that also helps as it drives more position players to you. We'll see how this offseason plays out, but Pitts doesn't make sense to me at 6. He makes sense to me at 12, with an added 2nd round pick or a (preferably) 1st for next year.

Has proven to likely be a better screen game weapon than Sproles because he has better hands and good speed. Spin move looks nice on film but is actually a stupid move more times than not in football. Rather have a guy with his center of gravity cut. 203 lb guys at 5’ 7” with 4.4 speed and good hands aren’t easy to find. Scott isn’t a starting RB but is a great rotational player and unlike backs like Wendell Smallwood, he continues to get better in pass pro. It is ridiculous that we don’t appreciate role players and denigrate them so much in here. Check again. Nobody did that. It was a joke based on a mic’d up. The fact that this team has struggles so much to find backup RBs doesn’t change what he is. Being an upgrade from Smallwood/pumphrey proves my point. I didn’t denigrate him. I’m also not going to pretend that the league has trouble finding role playing RBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz gets run out of Philly, and Harry is getting led around by the nuts by that dreadful Meghan Markle. I had a short message from friend who watched the interview last night. Harry has been cuckolded, badly. I won't clog this place with anything more that that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToastJenkins Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 whats the knock on Adebo? there was chatter of him potentially being a high rounder if he came out last draft i am on team Not Pitts...only guy i run to the podium for at 6 is Chase.

ToastJenkins Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Chase is option 1 for me. He is a stud and lets all the other WRs fall into their natural roles. I think Quez is a Z, i think Reagor could do well from the slot. add a TE late in the draft or UDFA. I like Gray from Duke - smart and can catch. i like a couple others as well. (Cue Manu going bonkers about Togai...lol) I like a trade back but only as far as 12. maaaaybe 15. Chase and Moehrig/Grant would be my ideal outcome up 1/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggles25 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Would hate to see Brooks get traded. Understand it business-wise but just a big fan of his. True professional and a helluva OL. Having dealt with severe anxiety and panic attacks in my own life, I could relate to that part of his life and admired the way he was able to overcome that obstacle. His public battle with it was inspiring and offered a sense of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Pitts, I just wouldn't take him over Chase at 6, plus this team needs too much I fear so I'm on team trade back almost regardless of who is there, within reason. Start to rebuild this dreck of a defense, add a high end interior o-lineman, maybe go offensive weapon in round 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLC Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 People that are surprised that the team might build 2021 around Hurts are not paying attention. That should be the plan unless we absolutely love a QB at #6. I'll strongly argue that we don't have the infrastructure to support a rookie QB in 2021.
