Other than kicking Reagor into the slot it's not going to work. Despite what Siri said, guys like Smith and Waddle aren't going to play the X position. They need an X or slot guy unless they plan to move Reagor to the slot and obviously they aren't going to take a slot guy in round 1. I'm thinking Marshall or Bateman at 37, or someone like Tylan Wallace, Nico Collins as an X or Amon-Ra St. Brown, Amari Rodgers as a slot in rounds 3 or 4 would make a lot more sense. Nobody seems to be talking about it but as much as Greg Ward is a nice story they really should be looking to upgrade him so maybe they do take a Waddle or Smith to play the Z and move Reagor to slot. Not sure Siri cares about "X'" Or "Y." Indy runs a lot of gadgets to get guys open. And Indy is big on routes that lead to YAC. He'll want a big WR, he'll start with Fulgham and JJAW but will want one or two in the draft, but they don't have to be top picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got tossed around like a child when any defender tried to come at him with a power move. Got blown up by linebackers when he went to block on a screen. Displayed a complete lack of the mentality necessary to play the position at a pro level. This is moronic. And I am not a Dillard fan. Spare me from the highlights of the 1 game he played RT.

If you want to go off pure explosive traits over production, there are better athletes who will be available later. Thats not to say that Paye is a bad athlete; he’s a good one. He’s just not enough of one to go #12 overall because of athleticism. I'm really hoping the Eagles are leaking this Paye possibility as a smokescreen. It is a believable smokescreen. Maybe they are trying to sucker the Giants into taking him before they pick. Then, fans would be happy Howie didn't do it and fans would be a little more trusting. But, if Howie goes Paye, I think "Fire Howie" chants will extend into houses of worship, elementary schools, public libraries and living care facilities in Philly and elsewhere.

With the amount of talking heads discussing the draft for all 32 teams all over social media. How are we to know what is or isn't coming out of the novcare complex? They probably just sit back and laugh at all of this mess. Like they did last year and went out and destroyed my heart. Hard to know. But, teams do purposely leak some things. Some things are media generated. I'm just trying to find any hope that I don't see Howie high fiving after picking Paye at 12 when we could've had a franchise player at 6.

I don’t like Paye for this team either, but in reality, he’s got a pretty low bar to clear to be our best first round pick in years. All he needs to do is come in as a situational rusher, go 100mph, collect 4-5 sacks as a rookie, and everyone will be calling him the best young player on the team and evidence Howie has turned it around. He can probably do that. Remember ski ball? With all the pressure, this is the perfect draft for Howie to aim low for the big ring and small but sure points.

Desertbirds Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 19 minutes ago, austinfan said: Foles was shipped out b/c he was too expensive to keep as a backup and not talented enough to start Wentz was given every chance in the world to make that job his own for a decade. Reich was a funny situation, before Philly he was OC in SD for two seasons, 18/17 yards/points, and 9/26. Not exactly a stellar resume. What got the FO upset was that Wentz clearly regressed after a strong start in 2016, now talent was an issue, Matthews, Sproles, Agholor, Matthews, DGB, Ertz, Burton, Celek but also an OL with Peters, Kelce, Brooks, Lane (6g). So it wasn't something out of thin air, 7-1 TD/Int his first four games, 9-13 his next 12 with a big drop in Y/A. You've just spent all these assets, told he was ready to start, and he goes backwards. Doug was fired on merit, kept saying he could turn it around, Howie gave him what he asked for, and he couldn't deliver. Time to move on. The fact remains that the FO wanted to can Reich before the 2017 season. Pederson had to intervene to save Reich. Without Reich, it is unlikely that the Eagles win the SB. If the FO had their way, the Eagles do not win the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally every coach tells the GM the things he thinks his offense needs. The same goes for OC/DC. This wasn’t some power struggle. This was Doug saying the offense was too slow and he wanted more speed. That doesn’t mean Doug said "eff your scouts, bring me Reagor.” It was more like "we’re too slow on offense. We need more speed.” They (not just Doug) had concerns that Jefferson wasn’t an outside receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a project, coming out of a scheme where they didn't run the ball. Stoutland made it clear he needed to get stronger and work on his run blocking technique. That's why he fell in the draft. Reason Eagles drafted him was they could sit him behind Peters for a year, then let him start. He was supposed to be a ready made product in pass protection the the only thing he was ready made in was being pushed through like he's paper.

CaliEagle Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 There are rumors that the Cowboys are trying to trade for Stephon Gilmore for Gallup. If they do that, it means they want Pitts bad. If they get Gilmore, then they won't go CB in Round 1. The good news is that Surtain or Horn should fall to us. The bad news is it is almost a lock that the Cowboys would go after Pitts and Howie could go Paye with both Surtain and Horn on the board just because Howie gonna Howie.

He got tired of sitting listening to your two man crushes grill him on Tuesdays about decisions that were made in the game the previous sunday. He got tired being handed garbage from the draft. He got tired of being Micro Managed! I am sure he got tired of being told to play Peters and AJ! If they were going to fire Doug on merit, then why not do it right after the season concluded? Why have him and Howie come out and do a press conference? Why fly him down to Florida a week after the season ended? He got fired because he stopped telling Lowie what they wanted to hear. When he met with Lurie he probably resisted the status quo and realized he didn't love it anymore. Nick will get burned out too. Either that or Lurie will smarten the F up and fire that little piss ant Howie and hire a real GM rather than have a bean counter who thinks he's a jock. You realized you made all that up. The only thing they challenged Doug on was his unwillingness to bring in a legitimate OC. Doug was the one pushing to resign his veteran offensive players and draft Reagor over Jefferson. Howie admitted he sided with his coaches (i.e. his HC) over his scouts. There is zero evidence he was told to play anyone. Lurie is reluctant to fire anyone from the family, a virtue in life, a fault in business, but Lowie had realized the obvious, it was time to rebuild, when Doug insisted he could make one more run with this team, the gig was up.
