I did a lot of mocks where Jamie Newman was staring at the Eagles at their #150 pick .... not hearing anything about him recently, so maybe a UDFA?

They had a interview with him, But given he pretty much never played, id expect that interview was to be a UDFA candidate. There are no QBs left that really fit the Eagles build of QB.

If Howie would have traded back a few picks with Dickerson I think more people would have been on board with it. You are right we do have to wait and see. I'm hopeful.

The Giants wanted him. We sniped them.

Oh absolutely. I don't like the Dickerson pick when factoring in the bigger picture.

So what’s the point of keeping him? We already saw what an unmotivated Ertz looks like last year, what do you think a disgruntled, unmotivated one will be? And then he kills whatever comp pick you can get if you even get one since they should be more motivated next year in FA. Take the highest offer and move on. 

So you'd trade him for a 6th? I'd keep him. He would be motivated by a contract with a new team the next year. That's just me though.

Based on current draft, a 5th is to high ??

I’m just questioning how much say did Gannon actually have. Howie clearly isn’t listening to his scout guys. 

Do you really believe this?  That Howie employs an entire scouting department and just dismisses their input?

I think we’re all reading way too much into that clip. 

Howies explaination said it all. He said "These guys spend all year scouting these guys and you get favorites, guys you feel strongly about, we all do. 
 

There was someone else Donahue wanted.

The Vikings have a type at DE. Nice pick. 

To be fair, The Eagles also have a type:

Thank you.  

Haters are gonna spin it to their narrative.  But in reality it's just one dude in the room upset that they passed on his guy.

If there is any amount of remaining 2021 draft capital that is too high an asking price, then teams are not interested in Zach Ertz.

This is a good pick, some people just need any excuse to go full Negledelphian.

Watch us trade for Togiai now that the Colts drafted a TE. 

Ian Book in the 4th, now there is a reach.

Well let me rephrase. He listens but does what he wants.

No S. But because Donohue wanted someone else doesn’t mean Howie ignored his scouts. 

So... we are going to live to vaccinations for the picks.   Gotta love the stupid.

And how do you know that? Because the Eagles board doesn't correspond to some draft site?

Gannon has a track record of coaching up CBs and two years of scouting experience, but had no input into the draft board?

Donohue isn't a scout anymore, he's a senior advisor.

Wow, a vaccination live during the draft. They've done it all now.

Afan hard at work placing the blame on Gannon if the pick blows.

Translation.  When he sucks, the blame is on everyone but Howie.

Knowing that some people have bad reactions or pass out after an injection, that is really brave doing that on live tv

I think the reaction tends to be a few minutes after?

Going by recent years: If he is great everyone but Roseman will be the reason. If he sucks it will be his pick alone.
