In round 2...I want someone with the upside of a first rounder, someone who has the raw talent to be a really good starter.

Dont care about position.  CB/S/Edge/center/G...just get someone with the ability to be a long term asset.

These are the guys I see being those guys for #37.

Trevon Moehrig - S - TCU
Richie Grant - S - UCF
Asante Samuel Jr - CB - Florida St
Wyatt Davis - G - OSU

More than likely at least 1 of them will be sitting there.   (There are a few others, but these are my favorites.) 

Asante would definitely be my pick at 37 if he's there.

JOK somehow being there might change my mind. If Moehrig never had to tackle, he'd be my guy.

I think if Teven Jenkins is somehow there at 37, I could see him being the pick. Would be great value at that point, but there is actually a lot of value at OL on day 2 this year.

For trading a 3rd to move up 2 spots and draft another WR (5th in the last 3 years) because the two corners were gone?  Oh, ok.  You guys all celebrate Howie.  I’ll remain jaded.   It’s not like he worked a miracle.  

Past drafts do not matter at this point. Look at the Eagles roster WR was the biggest hole. We were stuck with Reagor, Ward, Fulgham as the top three guys. Devonte Smith was not only a big need but most would argue BPA at that point in the draft. 
 

OL, DL and yes even CB are in better shape than WR was before Smith. 
 

Howie got extra picks including an extra first next season for a guy they would have take At 6. also jumped a division rival to get the guy. There’s a lot to hate on Howie for last night isn’t one of them.

I bet Jax takes Moehrig at 33. 

he would be my top target tonight

feels like DB and LB are still rich for us with that DE run at the end of the first

I'd be ecstatic if that happened.

I gave him credit when we traded from 6 to 12, where most of the blog was pitching a fit.  I would have gave him more credit if we got our corner or traded down again.  Not for picking a guy I didn’t want at 12 in the first place.   

I guess your evaluation of Smith is quite different.  Hopefully the general consensus is accurate.  I think he is going to be terrific.

I think a fourth round pick on a OL would be sensible. I don't think it needs to be with our second or our remaining third because I think Stoutland is so proven at developing these guys and is such a good OL coach. That said Wyatt Davis and Creed Humphrey are still on the board... I wouldn't be devastated if they took one of them with one of their next 2 picks.

I wouldn't be that upset about a OL in the fourth - 2nd or 3rd is a little tougher although more palatable if someone we look at as a 2nd round pick was available at 70.  And at the end of the day, I do want us staying as close to BPA as possible so need has to match up with the board.  But my ideal scenario is the board breaking in a way that it makes to sense to end up with two CBs, a Safety, and a DE in 2-5.

You get back too far , and those picks are throw aways  , this draft is over after rd 5 , at the latest , those late rd picks aren’t much better than the undrafted  guys

if I was a team , I would try to unload all my 6th 7th and probably 5th rd picks , make it a 4 rd draft , I’m sure teams know this , so it will be hard to unload them for much

Look I'm not huge on OL in the second or third either but there are some guys there who may be high on our draft board.

Notre Dame LB as well.

it seems like there are about a dozen guys that are left from that "end of first round to second round” group that seems to emerge every year.  If they stay at 37 it looks good for the Eagles to get a very good prospect.

At 70 they can probably get a similar prospect as guys who will start going mid 2nd round.

Overalll I don’t think they need to trade around, I think they are well positioned to get two solid guys and one who could have been taken in round 1.

I do want #37 spent on Defense, all about going OL for #70.

Walker Little, Trey Smith, or one of the 3 remaining Center's please.

I mean if one of those guys are going to be there at #70 then I'm down with that.

The other thing with Smith is both Smith and Hurts have the off the chart work ethic and love of the game. That will go a long way to winning over the veterans on offense as well as setting the tone for players like Fulgham and Reagor and the projects on the roster.

except Smith has talent

So so much damn talent.

Yeah, the only positions that I would actually be upset to draft before round 5 are RB (for the reason I said earlier), QB, and TE - I don't want to be seeing too much 12 personnel given that we just invested in DeVonta and Reagor and still have Fulgham, Watkins, Hightower, etc.  

I'm going to likely be fine with anything else as long as a reasonable case can be made that the player was BPA.

They need to really focus on defense at this point. Their defense is pretty damn bad and lacks talent at a number of key spots.

I can see eagles drafting a TE today

Now is the time to trade Ertz, otherwise he may just get released in the end of it.

Smith is growing on me quickly. Glad we finally drafted an Alabama guy!

Just watch the guy play. If you didn’t know his weight, never once would you question his ability. 

I think the Jags are going to go Terrace Marshall or Elijah Moore.  Not much for Trevor to throw to down in Jacksonville.  Need to get him some weapons. 

Same goes for the Jets.  You drafted Wilson, now get him a weapon.  Marshall, Moore ore Rondale Moore would be good for him.  

Falcons should probably go after O-Line but if JOK is there I can't see them passing him up.  Pair him with Deion Jones and that's some LB pair.

Miami is in prime position to take Javonte Williams now that I think about it.  They don't have much of anything at RB.  You give Tua Waddle and Williams and suddenly he looks much better.  Eagles won't be surprising us and taking him.

 

I think if healthy, Andre Cisco could also end up being better than Moehrig in the long run.  I'm a big fan of getting him in the 4th. 

Kenny Yeboah is still the tight end I want.  He's a poor mans Kyle Pitts. and can block.  I think round 4 is his sweet spot unless there's a run on tight ends.

Also would love to find a way to get Jabril Cox

Yeah I was thinking round 4 or perhaps 5 for Yeboah but that would be a really good pick.

Howie likes trading with the Cowboys.

Cowboys need OL.

Eagles have #37 and 1 x R3 pick, Cowboys have #44 and 3 x R3 picks

Just sayin'.

I'd think about that. Though at the same time Tevin Jenkins is legit, I think I'd just as well take him. Nasty mf'r

I am pleased for Justin Fields getting drafted where did.  I never understood the negativity that surrounded him or the buzz he'd fall to the bottom of the first round. The Bears paid the price, but they had to.
