2 DT's in a historically bad DT class...both seem like decent players, but why?

A fastball edge rusher, I thought we were done with those 😒

I hoped it would be Shaka Toney... but I believe we needed 1 or 2 of them. 

 

And there it is.......PAC-12 Howie strikes again. I knew he couldn't resist. 

Well TBF, it is USC, so there's a chance he might actually be able to play professional football. Time will tell.

Can someone explain why this is a 'weakness'?

 

• Very average size by NFL standards.

 

And how can something be 'very average'?   It's either average, or it's not.   You can't get more average than average.

Jackson and Tuippulotu are going to be fixtures for our practice squad.

 

Donlt know anything about either, neither on my list. But can't judge just yet till I can get a look at them.

Jackson maybe, but Tuippulotu will get playtime, he's good.

Didn't see back to back DL picks. We definitely needed a youth infusion there. 

I don't dislike the picks, but at this point we're gonna be putting shopping carts back at LB and CB.

Will he though? He's going to be DT #4 at best.

Upside as interior rusher at 254 pounds ??  Gotta be kidding me.

I gotta think Steven Nelson's agent may be getting a phone call soon?

#4 DT gets playtime, we rotate like crazy, not to mention injuries.

 

For those writing off Tarron Jackson already you obviously haven’t put in research on him. He’s a great player.

 Seth Williams please.  Wiggins and Gowan would also be great.  As would Trey Smith

One thing comment that Greg Cossell made about players with heavy hands being hard to play against. It's a common trait with the linemen on either side of the ball that have been drafted.  Clearly a trait the Eagles were looking for

We were thin at the DL. Who was EDGE #5? DT #5? Unclear. These 6th rounders will push everyone on our roster.
