I was mocking you. But I got to ask a question did you choose the screen name because it matched the shape of your head?

Did we make a trade?  CBS draft tracker just took away a bunch of our late picks.  Or are they just cutting out the next 4 months and assuming they all won’t be on the team anyway? 

We only had a 6th and 7th left 

Tay Gowen, Trill Williams, Ar'Darius Washington....

After trading away the later 6th and 7th we still pick 224 and 234.

Brady Breeze is another one of my sleepers. Heat seeking missile, but needs to clean up his tackling in general, but he stuck well in coverage. Kind of needs to be in a zone scheme if he has any chance, though. 

Way too early Eagles' draft grade assessment:

Round 1 - DaVonta Davis ( ) - Can't be overly upset.  The Bears' deal might have been better in the long run, but adding Smith should help make the offense a much better experience to watch on a weekly basis.

Round 2 - Landon Dickerson - This is where Howie rolled the dice a little more than I would have preferred.  Not a fan of adding a guy with the laundry list of injuries to a position group with its own laundry list of injured players.  Other, safer, options were available... perhaps even a CB, S, or LB.   Can't argue against the talent of Dickerson, but the risk is significant.

Round 3 - Milton Williams - Disregard the video.  Is a moment of emotions, in the heat of the process.   Likely a player was lost off the board due to the trade back.  But, Williams is a guy that we hope can become a player.  Athletic freak... with T-rex arms.

Round 4 - Zech McPhearson - A CB!  Has good bloodlines.  He'll have every opportunity to get on the field.  Nothing (and no one) stands in his way.

Round 5 - Kenneth Gainwell - Great value pick.  Immediate impact as the 3rd down back with a chance to be more.  

Round 6a - Marlon Tuipulotu - Strong, likely an injured guy which is why he fell.  Rotational DT?  He has a chance in that role.  He has some competition.

Round 6b - Tarron Jackson - DE.  Lottery ticket.  Maybe he can develop into something.

Round 6c - TBD

Round 6d/Round 7 - 5th rounder in 2022 - good value move, but they will need to turn that value into talent for it to matter.

Round 7 - TBD

 

Regardless of what the last two picks are, this isn't a bad draft.  It is clearly about the future.  That's good.  Smith is about the present.  This will help us evaluate Hurts.  The rest?  Dickerson may not see the field this year, possibly due to his injury, possibly due to the fact that the team is set at OL for 2022.  Williams might have a chance to make an impact in a limited role.  McPhearson will have a chance to earn a starting spot.  Gainwell could get a significant number of snaps.  So, this is almost exclusively about 2023 and beyond, which is fine.  But, I don't see this as a draft that added much in the way of 'foundational' pieces to build around.  Dickerson could be one of those pieces, but the issue is the giant question mark circling him about health.  Maybe a redshirt year for him would be a good thing for the long term.

 

Bash away.

Wow Colts. 

Quincy Roche is such a Steelers pick.  They just keep drafting good players that fit their team.

The Colts took a bad QB. Thank goodness. 

Incoming Wentz trade request...

Agree with your assessment.

Smith is good both short-term and long-term. His floor is reliable slot WR for whoever succeeds Hurts (if that happens).

Gowan

Wiggins

Terry

Illinois WR who I can’t spell his name

Strachan

Graham

Might have to use the 6th on Franks now 

I fell bad for Trey Smith, teams must have taken them off their boards due to his condition.

Might as well come back to the Eagles; Ehlinger might be better than Hurts 

This answers my question from earlier. Fricken Mel....

hes a RB

They put him in the slot as well and they said he could play there more in the pros. Could be a poor mans Curtis Samuel type player

Don’t put that evil on us.

Dazz off the board. Terry still there. might be time to strike with the next pick.

Somebody has to take David Moore. 

This just in, Carson Wentz asked the colts to trade him after the drafting of Sam Ehlinger

Some honesty. 

Newman and either Moses or Smith and call it a draft.
