Creed Humphrey is a OC prospect in the 2021 class. He scored a 10 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 1 out of 484 OC from 1987 to 2021. Splits projected, unofficial testing, but on his way to possibly having the highest #RAS for a Center ever

Not sure what's going on with Belichick.  This is why, sometimes, you don't want a football guy managing personnel decisions.

At times, the guy is an evil genius.  Others, it's like he doesn't know what players to pick and add to save his life.

It was plain to see, last year, that Cam Newton was incapable of running an NFL offense.  There are innumerable better options.  Draft a rookie.  Try to coach the INT's out of Winston (we make fun of him, but the dude can pass).  Trade for Jimmy G.  Give Alex Smith a prosthetic leg.  Get Nick Foles.  Literally any of them can at least handle an offense.  Cam looks like watching a defensive end try to play QB.  I won't even glorify his performance by comparing him to a TE on the offensive side of the ball.

How could the best coach in NFL history be signing up for this?  Unless it's a huge investment in draft misdirection...

If I had to guess, it's more about leadership. Young players flock to Cam, and it's obviously a major challenge replacing Brady as the team leader. You need someone who has the pull to ease the transition. Bill won't rush the transition.

That trade changed the world, lol, seriously though, Dallas got 

1990 Vikings 1st, 2nd, and 6th. 
1991 Vikings 1st and 2nd. 
1992 Vikings 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

 Minny then received 

1990 Cowboys 3rd and 10th round pick, plus  San Diego’s 5th rounder. 

1991 Cowboys 3rd rounder which they did get Jake Reed, who was usually a decent 2nd or 3rd option in Fantasy Football.  

  Sort of a brilliant trade if the Vikings scouting department was known as lazy.  Not much to worry about for the next 3 years.  
 

 

 

That and herschel didn't fit the vikings offense and was grossly underused.

Vikings ran a split two back set where as herschel was most effective in a single back set or set with a lead back in front of him.

Oddly enough when the eagles signed him they used him at first in a lot of single back sets and as the year progressed used him in split two back set with heath sherman.

Then Kotite used him as a FB the next two seasons and more of a receiving option.

Herschel Walker has an Interesting career path. He got a ton of carries in college just shy of 1000 in 3 seasons,  and a ton In  The USfL over 1100 in 3seasons,  then his last year with cowboys had over 350 carries. 

By the time he got to Minnesota he had already accrued over 1800 carries from USfL and nfl plus the almost 1000 at college,  

Not to mention the almost 400 catches he had with USfL and dallas.

He was a workhorse with a lot of tread  in Minnesota he ever had a season of the 3 with more than 200 rush attempts and they used him sparingly In the passing game though they did use him as their KR.

Basically minnesota traded atin of picks over 3 seasons for a rotational RB and primary Kick Returner, dumb stuff.

By the time he got to Philly he was 30 and way past his prime yet still managed 1000 yards his first season and caught 75 and 50 passes and was named team MVP those next 2 seasons.

What's unfortunate about herschel's career is his best years and highest usage came when none of it counts towards nfl stats, his college stats and USfL stats are incredible yet by the time he got to the NFL at the age of 24/25 he was an old rookie with a ton of wear and tear.

I still think the cowboys should at least put him in their HOF he did more for that franchise by bei g traded than enmitt smith troy aikman and irvin combined😄

I have no doubt Brooks is a lot further along in his rehab.  Heck, if the Eagles were a good team last year I wouldn’t have put it past Brooks to come back for playoff games.

If Johnson is more of a question mark, hopefully we can slow down on the idiotic ‘let’s trade Dillard’ talk.

It's only been a few weeks, maybe a month since Johnson ditched his scooter so Brooks is definitely ahead. It's their long term view that would be concerning.

The rationale reason to do it is that Lane restructuring locks him onto the roster in 2023. He's already a lock for 2022.
This puts Brooks on the same timeline now for 2022 instead of 21.

Brooks/Lane are the RG-RT combo for the next 2 years.

Yup if johnson's ankle is as serious as it sounds then trading dillard isn't smart.

If johnson can't go or is li.ited one moves Mailata over to RT and outs dillard at LT.

Now if Lane is playing and howie decides dillard should start at LT instead if Mailata I think the calls for him to be fired will only grow as it will look like he's trying to make his draft picks look good rather than playing the best player.

I think it's clear to any one with at least one eye that Mailata is the far better prospect than dillard and should be given a shot over dillard at playing

Try this one on. There have been 25 QBs drafted in the first round from 2009 through 2017. Of those 25, only one figures to be with the team that drafted him this coming season - Mahomes. Watson may be.

Looks to me that the NFL is pretty terrible at assessing QBs. That's a 4% hit rate; well, 8% if you include Watson.

P.S. I stopped at 2017 because the first-round draftees after that are still on rookie contracts, which changes the dynamic radically.

I was day dreaming/riffing the other week after the Wentz trade around if teams need to view QBs as rookie contract and done as a way to control costs but also gain some value back from the pick.  With QBs now being athletes and running threats, the job has changed significantly.

It's the complete antithesis to how the NFL has been traditionally run, but your research highlights a trend there. Do teams need to view QBs picked highly as commodities, rather than 10+ year investments?

The Eagles might think about drafting Sewell or Slater. So, if they trade Dillard, it might be a sign of how they are approaching the draft.  The bad thing is that they won't get much for Dillard right now. It's too bad there's no camp because I think Dillard can still pan out as a LT in this league and he should have some value. But, he won't be able to prove he has value. So, if the Eagles trade him now, I think they get a real low return...probably a 5th or later.  The Eagles might be wise to hang on to him because I think they can get his value higher. Once teams start getting injuries early on, then if Dillard is healthy and shows some things then the Eagles might get at least a 3rd at that point.

Fire Howie.

At least we'll have Ja'Marr Chase in a little under 2 months.

I have my Pfizer dose #2 coming up soon. Had to drive outside Philly to get em.

I’m gonna laugh when the Eagles pass on Chase.

He should have put that in his tweet rather than bragging about 2 championships he had absolutely no part in.

Having said that not sure it's a stat that puts him over the top into HOF.

Of the guys listed he also has lower ypc than all but Chris johnson who he's tied with at 4.5 and has the 2nd least amount of tds with johnson being last and the other 3 having over 100.

Not too mention barry Chris johnson and peterson all had 2000 yard seasons and Jim brown with 16 game season would have he averaged 133 yards/ game one season on 12 games which over 16 games is over 2100 yards.

Mccoy is in the Hall of very good and the d00$h bag HOF.

Geoff Mosher actually talked about Andre Dillard being traded in their podcast I believe on Monday. He said he would keep Dillard just based off the value that you’re gonna get back for him and just let him play on his contract. And try to work with him on being able to play left and right tackle. but also said knowing how the Eagles think and what he knows he didn’t think they’d do that

which is kind of my feeling if they draft Sewell or slater they aren’t going to keep Dillard, Johnson, mailata and Sewell/slater. They wouldn’t look to trade one imo

WOW. Not the player I wanted to do this with.

And I love Brooks as a player and human being.

Yikes. Isn’t his contract bad enough as it is?

if they want to help the team then take a pay cut.

Yup him getting injured really hurt his value as teams only have his rookie tapeto go on which wasn't overly impressive and its not like he's a 22 year old he was 24 when he was drafted and Mailata just turned 24.

Better to hold onto him.

Having said that wouldn't mind Sewell at number 6 I think him and Mailata could be bookend tackles for a decade.

Iike slater but 6 is way to high for him especially since he's a guard/ center.

Agree about Slater. If the Eagles like him, they might trade back a few spots. But, it won't be that far. Starting T's are usually top 10 area.

Due diligence, and draft strategy.

Attach yourself as closely as possible to all of these draft-eligible QBs; it will force the teams who need to trade up for QB to get in front of the Eagles to do so — which forces the best non-QBs in the draft down to #6
