This certainly seems like a scouting consensus that he was BPA, or Stoutland pounding the table. Kinda doubt Lowie were in love with him.

I don't get it.  He might not even be ready for camp.  Probably starts the season on PUP. 

Why does Howie continually use the 2nd round on guys who aren't going to play?

ABC showed a stat about the importance of finding starters in rounds 2-3.  

That’s why he blows. JJAW should be ready to help any day now.

Some of you have injury PTSD. This was a solid pick. If it doesn’t do it for you then realize that we need a center (most likely next year), we need a solid C from a great program, and we have a multiple year rebuild happening.

Ok. And we need a linebacker, S, CB (multiple even) right now and those positions had quality players available who are healthy. Typical Eagles FO thinking they are smartest in the room

He's a first round talent except for the injury history.

Big boy who could play C or RG, so now we have a bench with Dillard, Driscoll, Dickerson and Herbig. Guess last season spooked them.

We were so injured at OL we decided to take an injured lineman.

Think long term. Its a rebuild

Think long term... he's got bad knees, and he's not a small guy.  

Could've drafted Dickerson in the third or later. Howie never ceases to amaze.

Lol. Got your excuse lined up if he fails.

Bengals talking about him for day 3 but Howie takes him the top of round 2 with a ton of healthy talent at needed positions

I’m not going to put any stock into a team who watched their rookie 1st overall QB get destroyed by DL on a weekly basis, resulting in a season ending injury, only to pass on Sewell and draft a WR, and then again pass on all available OL & trade down.

Sidney Jones all over again. Take the Fing starting CB staring you right in the face. Take JOK. Take the safety. Why an injured IOL with basically a 1st round pick. 

Howie has to out smart everyone. He has to take that risk for the bigger possible reward regardless of how many times he gets burned. It was the 5th pick in the 2nd round with some really good talent there and he just had to reach for something even higher.

Humphrey, Moehrig, JOK all still there. Must be a reason.

2nd round picks should not be used on redshirts.  It makes no sense.

Let's be serious.  When was the last time the starting interior O-Line started anywhere near 16 games together for this team?  The odds are he will likely see the field this year.  Just sayin', 

Giants now have extra picks in RDs 1, 3 & 4 in 2022. Ugh.

Disagree, we'll ad him to the list of guys that never play

Exactly.

Right, that’s why we needed the first few picks to get on the field and get some experience. We traded a top 100 pick away and drafted a quadriplegic.

Haha wait a minute...we just used pick 37 on a guy who’s had, not one, but TWO acl tears?

My God.

Get those excuses in early

Yep.  Every team has passed on them.  AND 2 safeties already taken before Moehrig. 

Just now, HazletonEagle said:

Well there are 32 other teams who didn’t get the memo. Including all the teams who actually drafted Safties so far.

I heard the same story with Sydney Jones.   There's a time for that risk... and its in Round 3.

Chill people

we knew iOL was going to be taken at some point and he can be a killer

i wanted a DB personally but judge a draft in its entirety 

You’d think we’d have learned that by now...

Lions select Levi Onwuzurike, DL
