As I watch zero College Football, I've been interested to see what makes Pitts a generational TE.

If I was going to compare him to a current NFL WR, my comp would be Julio Jones.

You really do come up short sometimes.  It takes a 3 second google search to find out the Eagles currently have 68 players under contract.  They have 22 open spots, 11 for draft picks, if they make them all, so that leaves 11 spots. 

The move has nothing to do with spots for UDFA's, they can release players after the draft if a spot is needed.

No way.  Julio is 6-3 220 and ran 4.39. 

I think he's a hybrid of Mike Evans and Plaxico Burress.

He would be a good late round pick.  He wasn't that productive in college.  

Was that due to his weight or his age? 

He had injuries and was suspended for drag racing. 
 

Missed a lot of games. When he did play was was productive. He’s a project but the kind of guys you can take in day3. Classic has the talent can he make it work type guy.

I'm definitely leaning towards supporting a Pitts/Smith(s) pick because it seems like it will create the most dissent on the blog.  As I see the rankings now:

1) Kyle Pitts 

2) DeVonta Smith

3) Penei Sewell

 

 

I would go Sewell, Pitts, Smith, with a long pause between Pitts and Smith. Call it 1, 1A, and 3. In the short term Pitts would be the better pick, given our OL and dearth of quality receivers. Frankly, I like those two guys more than any of the other top 10 probables, but then, I like Hurts more than any of these QBs, which torpedoes my credibility. At that position, "want to” means more than talent and Hurts has that big time. I’d be thrilled with either Sewell or Pitts. I will puke if we draft any of those QBs.

Yeah, cause Mike Evans never had a 1,000 yard season before Brady.

How many super bowls you see there without brady?

Little flash back to 8...8? years ago now!

Meh: https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2017/07/inside_the_technology_giving_a.html  If Alabama is sharing this data, which I am sure the players want them to share, I am not sure what a 40 time would do.  I mean we have all of this data from his speed on multiple days, games and practices but sure these 2 40s will really tell a team how fast he is? 

Because he might have eaten 15 pizzas and 5 cheesesteaks to get up to 170.

Interesting. I'd think this is a SIrianni move, he's had time to review game film from last year by now, and has probably sat down with Howie.

Given the 11 draft picks plus UDFAs plus a few SFAs in the next few weeks, they probably have to clear a few 90 man roster spots to make room for newcomers.

Caplan butchered that tweet. He's injured.

Why? Why does adding weight make him a better player? 

Well, it makes him heavier. 😁 and probably slower. Put another way, he’s the same size as Matt McMillan.

I’m willing to try this diet

Let me preface by saying this may be a well known fact by now, but do we know if Gannon will run a 4-3 or 3-4? Assuming 4-3 but wanted to see if this was confirmed yet.

If he ran a 4.46 then I can bench 700 lbs.  I'll just have to learn how to make a tik tok to say it.  (even though it would be wrong)

 

 

 

#pittshouldhavetakenanuber

Who knows what the real time is with these pro days. I do believe Pitts is a 4.4 guy tho. 

two more civil lawsuits accusing Watson of sexual assault appeared online. Watson is now facing 16 lawsuits.
 

I got to believe at least 2 are legit , he will be missing some time next year .

Anything I can do to facilitate a deal ??  Does he need help moving ??  I can write a glowing ( although lying ) letter of recommendation.

I don't think so. Leblanc in my opinion was the eagles best nickel when healthy over the past few years yet seemed Schwartz did everything possible to keep him off the field playing sidney jones at nickel, maddox at nickel both of who were awful there.

I wish strap nothing but the best maybe he'll find a team that has money to spend and will play him.

 

He's been healthy for all over 5 games over the past 40 maybe.

I think it would be really funny if he took out a page in the Philly newspaper upon leaving and saying goodbye. and literally everyone in the city would be happy that he left
