Yeah I wouldn't be shocked if Dallas takes him as the first CB ff the board.  They do a great job drafting. 

First thing I thought when they traded back was Dallas will grab someone great ahead of the Eagles. You are right that they really have turned things around recently. I'm not sure if Jerry got out of the way or they have better scouts, but they do. 

I like this, however watch them take him at 12.

According to Kyle Brandt from @gmfb, the Eagles have spoken to LSU WR Terrace Marshall "a lot.”

Marshall will be an option for the Eagles in round 2.

I want us to trade back into the end of round 1 for Creed Humphrey. I don’t want to worry about C for another decade

PIT would be taking Humphrey at #24 as a lock, so you wouldn’t be able to trade back that far.  BAL could be a candidate to trade up for him even higher than that.

Like Humphrey a lot as a prospect, but he’d be sitting on the bench for a full season behind Kelce; I don’t think he’s ever even played OG

Yep, my biggest gripe with the trade.  Dallas and NYG now have a better chance at a great player by drafting directly ahead of us.

Sirianni is that guy in the group who wants to fit in but tries to hard and says weird stuff and can’t control the level of his voice. 

You guys are brutal.

I'm not a fan, and certainly not in the first round. Very smart but neither quick nor fast nor powerful.

some of Humphrey numbers, all are top 5  for OL 
 

bench press (29 reps), 3-cone drill (7.54 seconds), vertical jump (33 inches), broad jump (112 inches) and 5-10-5 shuttle (4.46 seconds

That's interesting. I don't see it on the field, but what do I know? Maybe watching Kelce has spoiled me but I don't ever recall Humphrey getting out on a screen or an outside zone. Perhaps he can do that but wasn't asked to. What I saw was a guy with a limited game.

If the Eagles OL is healthy, we could be good.

Of course, counting on the Eagles to be healthy is crazy.

What record is considered good to you?

Jets GM Joe Douglas’ thoughts on ESPN analyst/HoF QB Steve Young saying the Jets are "committed” to BYU QB Zach Wilson at the No. 2 pick:

 

"Steve’s plugged in to BYU pretty well.”

I'm just curious how it has been affected?  He's had multiple injuries but none of them are related to that specific injury.  To me, his body just isn't built for the NFL.  

I agree, it's a gamble, just trying to look at all scenarios. 

It doesn't take rocket appliances to link soft tissue leg injuries to not trusting his surgically repaired achilles bud.

I’m not a fan of him that early , I would actually prefer Meinerz  , later

Did something happen aside from that tweet? Why is everyone freaking that Horn won’t be there at 12?

There's a few of us who've seen him as the best of the bunch by far for quite some time.  Others are just coming around.

Somehow after 10 years of consistency, people still fall for the Bama CB hype.

I’m just not crazy about what I saw from Wilson. I loved what the scouting reports said, so I expected to try to rattle a few cages by saying he was the best prospect in the draft.

After watching him compared to Trevor Lawrence...no way.  I don’t think think he even compares very favorably to the other guys.  Maybe I’m missing something.  Putting this guy in New York with a defensive head coach?  Yikes.

It really sucks the kid from Kentucky, Jackson, is a midget.  He held his own in the SEC, but he can't get away with it in the NFL.

Meinerz is the Wisc WW kid right?  He's a project at C, but could be a long term interior swing guy IMO.

I just don’t think it’s something Riley asked him to do much, he certainly seems athletic enough

I'm not crazy about anyone in this class.  I haven't watched a ton of Wilson, so I can't comment...but even Lawrence is incredibly flawed as a prospect.

Some teams like them small school lineman , and have no problem using a top 75 pick on them , which is where I think Meinerz goes

I agree, he's certainly talented.  Plus athlete and plays mean, the nuances can be taught by the right teacher.

Flawed I will agree with... incredibly flawed?? what the hell are you expecting out of a prospect (who is your ideal QB prospect)? How is he incredibly flawed?

He's not an explosive or dynamic CB.  I think that is directly related.
