Yeah those aren't very explosive numbers.

How was his 3 cone or shuttle?

Works for me, as long as these numbers lead to him dropping to us at #12.

Sewell is a good athlete. His measurables are good!

Yeah I cant imagine Sewell will ever drop out of the top 10 as the consensus top tackle but I've seen weirder things happen.

I could see a team in love with slaters versatility and athleticism though so who knows.

I would assume that includes picks traded for QB but it seems low.

He was supposed to be this freak athlete, generational talent at the position , I’m not seeing it with his jumps. Vert is average , broad jump in 83 percentile 

His cod is supposed to be awesome , curious to see how that goes 

5.09 forty for Sewell

Not bad for 330lbs no?

I was honestly half expecting it to be a 4.38 just out of principle 😄

Kind of demonstrates how bad the Eagles have been at drafting and developing DBs and WRs. 

Would you be upset if we went Corner in 1st then Corner in 2nd?  Like Horn, Asante?

Penei Sewell is 20, has good tape in a power 5 conference, is an above-average athlete (85% percentile), plays a premium position and has good character.

That's a top 10 pick.

No doubt he goes top 10 not a good OT class early

I’m shocked how little some teams invested in DBs , but I am also a believer in building a D back to front and inside out

Horn and Asante is like Jones and Douglas.  Completely different types of CB.  Not a great pairing.  

This conversation about DB's is really, really making me miss the days of Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown.

He also has positional versatility. He came out of high school as one of the best guards in the country. At Oregon he played tackle. So he gives you that as well. Say mailata plays great. Lane recovers back to what he was. You have a good insurance plan behind both, add on good insurance plan behind Brooks who’s aging and hurt multiple times. Plus if kelce does retire next year move seumalo to center (if they want too) and have Sewell play LG and eventually kick out to tackle when lane is done.

I think it would depend on who else is on the board.  I wouldn't be upset with Horn over Surtain.

The owner literally has the final say on everything. By your own standard, Lurie is 100% to blame for literally everything.

You can say the GM has the final say, except we all know that's not how it works. AR had "final say" on all personnel matters. Yet when he wanted to sign Vick, he had to go to Lurie for permission. So imagine relative equals like a GM and coach and how their relationship works.

As far as the vision, that's exactly the point -- the "vision" over the last few years was Doug's. He was the one lobbying for a short term approach. He wanted veterans re-signed to help in this cause, which is something you're placing on Howie. The vision changed after several years of this vision failing and the coach being unwilling to change vision. Again, Lurie said as much in his press conference.

So let's be a little more realistic here. The owner, coaches and GM get together and come up with a plan. If the head coach says Alshon Jeffery is absolutely essential to his plans to win a super bowl, then the GM is going to go out and execute on that imperative. If the coach says he has to have a deep threat opposite of him, then the GM is going to bring in someone like Desean and Reagor to fulfill that function. If the OL coach wants crazy athletes, then the GM is going to bring in someone like Lane Johnson or Jordan Mailata. If the DL coach wants shorter guys who are good against the run, then the GM gets someone like Barnett. Coaches have a vision of their own, preferences, demands, systems, schemes, etc. and the GM has to factor all of this into his choices. He can't just say, "to hell with the coaches, what they're telling me they need and want, I think this guy is better." THAT would be a dysfunctional vision.

The GM brought in a WR that the offensive coaching staff couldn't figure out how to implement.  The GM also brought in a DE/LB that the defensive coaching staff couldn't figure out how to integrate either.   So, how much influence did the coaching staff really have on the GM?   Oh, and did we forget about the HC saying his OC and WR were safe one day, only to have them removed literally the very next day?  Sure... the GM was doing what the HC wanted and the vision was 100% Doug's.   That's a good story.  Too bad the actual events and facts don't support that one bit.  Instead it would appear that the GM/Owner were the ones pushing the direction, against the HC's wishes.  

The OL wants crazy athletes, eh?  Then how do you explain Matt Pryor and Nate Herbig, who wouldn't exactly be at the top of anyone's list for 'crazy athletes'?  

Obviously, the coaching staff have a vision.  The GM has a vision.  The owner has a vision.  My contention is that these visions are not unified.  Hence the problem.  When the owner hires a GM, then the GM (and owner too, I suppose, as Lurie is always involved in that process), then they need to hire the HC that shares the same vision as they have.  If that vision differs, then that's going to lead to problems.   And that is the issue as I see it with the last 3 years.

Among Round 1 OTs in my database, Sewell's arm length is 12th percentile. His height is 15th percentile

I mean I guess he's for freedom of businesses to not do business somewhere except when he doesn't like it.  In any event, it is meaningless bleating.

Lurie literally had a press conference to explain that Doug wanted to keep trying to repeat while Lurie felt a rebuild was needed and that’s why they were parting ways.

What you’re saying is that the owner of the team went on national television and outright lied, completely inverting the opinions of himself and Doug, and that subsequently no reporter has since been able to find a single source calling out this blatant inversion.

Or, we can be sane, and accept that the story Lurie told was accurate.

Depends who is on the board at the time of the picks.  I wouldn't be upset, but I would prefer if we draft 2 DBs that 1 of them is a S who can cover.  Ss who can cover are just as important and valuable as CBs now.  That's why I would like to see us get two Ss with cover ability who can both tackle enough instead of 1 FS and 1 SS.  Having two Ss who can cover will really help out your CBs.  It's a passing league now.

I'm sure the MLB is shaking in their boots😒

As far as the band discussion, as someone who has played guitar 17 years, there are only so many notes. you'll find much simpicity and repetition in actual notes. Combinations and timing though, are everything. That's why left handed guitar players are considered more creative- their dominant hand is actually the one strumming...
