Douglas made a monster trade up for Vera-Tucker last night...

thats good. when he has his board and calls his own shots I guess he has freedom to do what he wants.

When he sets a board from someone and the guy under him has to make picks based on the value on his board it worked out differently. 

That structure did not work. Not when Chip was over Howie, and not when Douglas was over Howie.

It worked having Howie as the boss last night. Lets see how it looks for the rest of the weekend. 

He could be a flop. No guarantees. We need help at positions where we don’t have bodies today.

Dane Brugler’s mock doesn’t break great...

33. Jacksonville Jaguars – Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia
34. New York Jets – Asante Samuel Jr., CB, Florida State
35. Atlanta Falcons – Trevon Moehrig, FS, TCU
36. Miami Dolphins – Javonte Williams, RB, North Carolina
37. Philadelphia Eagles – Creed Humphrey, OC, Oklahoma

thats totally fine with me.

Friendly reminder of the importance of tanking.  When your team stinks, it is the smart move.

What are the thoughts on Ojulari at 37?

Howie should be like me

Why did he fall?   Is there an injury?

The bolded is kind of my point.  You don' have to draft a WR that high to have one put up 1,000 yards.  But a good to great corner is hard to find.  Look what it did for Jax defense when they had Ramsey.  

What CB would you have taken? Horn and Surtain was off the board.

More of a 3-4 OLB than a 4-3 DE. Definitely has pass rushing talent though.

I know you're against it,  but Humphrey is BPA and checks every single box. He's 21. Team captain. Posted the best RAS for any C ever. Played in a power 5 conference. Has good tape. He's likely the starting centre as of 2022. 

A major reason scouts don't like him is that he's a left-handed centre.

3 WR and one Corner?  !!

 

 

Yeab. I think you’ve accomplished your goal.  

Oh crap, I must have posted the second half of the wrong one. No way I would have drafted three. But the first half of this is legit

He wasn't getting Smith at #12 the way the board fell. 

Then fall into the preferred trade back with Chicago. Win - win or lose - win ???

He tore his ACL in high school but was fine in college. There seems to be some conflicting medicals as some team Dr's flagged him and think he may have a degenerative issue while James Andrews examined him and said he's fine.

I'd rather take Wyatt Davis and move Seumalo to OC.

I’d personally rather have a center who plays center. Humphrey plays NASTY. 

Enough with receivers.  They should only draft 1 more at most and it should not be until at least the 4th round.

Might be a Josh Sweat situation.   Knowing nothing of the medicals, in Round 3, he takes on a risk-reward ratio that would be too hard to pass up.   At #37, if there's questions, I think I pass and grab one of the other players I have targeted.

 

Did anyone get left in the Green Room last night?  I never looked at the list of prospects who attended the draft in person

I'd rather have Davis than Humphrey, as well.   Davis can be a HoF OG (imo), and I don't say that lightly.

This is my favorite afan narrative.  It's Ok that Howie sucks in round 1-3, because he does so well with 6th and 7th round guys.  

**** BREAKING NEWS **** If you are starting a bunch of 6th and 7th rounders, you suck at drafting.

He also says after 100 the picks don't count.

I thinking Schwartz was still here he would have loved him, not sure what gannon is looking for at LB.

Eagles do have a history under howie of littering the roster with undersized LBs so we'll see.
