Rob331 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 With the terrible trade results for Wentz, the prospect of 2 1st round picks in 2022, and Hurts as the apparent starter it's time to declare a total rebuild. Beef up the draft class this year, let the kids take their lumps for a year, take the cap hits, and get back in the game in 2022. So that means clean out some of our favorite veterans - actually a fire sale. Not quite tanking, but it will get us higher draft picks in 2022. I'm going to be very conservative with projected compensation here. We got a paltry 3rd for Wentz and every GM knows we are in salary cap hell. We all know Ertz is going - let's hope for a 5th, Goedert starts with Rodgers and Butler backing him up Layne Johnson for a 4 - for better or worse Dillard and Mailata start with Driscoll being the prime backup Rodney McLeod for a 5 - Wallace and a rookie draft pick start with backups being another rookie along with Elijah Riley and Marcus Epps are backups. Derek Barnett for a 3 - we keep BG around for his leadership and Sweat moves in as a starter, A draft pick, Avery, Ostman and maybe one more year of Vinnie Curry round out that roster. So - the draft: We end up with a 1, 2, two 3's, 4, four 5's, a 6 and a comp 6, and a 7 and maybe a comp 7which we won't predict. We need too much to keep the 6th pick and the first year of a rebuild isn't the time to draft a top-10 rookie QB and throw him to the wolves. Let the wolves eat Hurts this year and trade that #6 pick. It's worth 1600 points on the value chart - so a 1 and a 2 this year is a must and 1 one or a 2 depending on the slot of this years picks for next year. Now we have a 1, two 2's, two 3's 4, four 5's. a 6 and a comp 6, and a 7 1 - CB Caleb Farley, Virginia Tech - start opposite Slay, Maddox moves to the slot Leblanc could resign at the minimum and NRC moves on 2 - DE Carlos Basham, Wake Forrest - probably starts along with Sweat with BG rotating in 2 - WR Rashod Bateman, Minnesota- the unsung/forgotten receiver this year, a starter over 6 feet with speed in the 4.4's 3 - S Caden Sterns, Texas. 3 - C Creed Humphrey, Oklahoma - Kelce insurance and can play the other inside positions 4 - LB Jabril Cox LSU - Riley and Gerry both move on. Singleton and Edwards are starters. Cox battles Bradley for the 3rd starter. 5 - TE Matt Bushman BYU - a big fast TE who can play now 5 - LB / Edge - Shaka Toney, Penn State - can play LB or DE 5 - CB Alonte Taylor, Tennessee - 6 feet and 4.5 flat, I;m tired of short CB's who run in the mid 4.5's 5 - RB Master Teague, Ohio State - Finally a big guy for 3rd a 2 6 - S Jaquan Brisker, Penn State - Penn State has a history of underrated cb's a safeties making significant contributions. 6 - G Quinn Meinerz, Wisconsin Whitewater - a senior bowl standout and Stoudland's new project 7 - QB KJ Costello, Mississippi State - we'll likely sign a vet to back up Hurts and we'll need a 3rd. Better draft him because UFA's won't see the Eagles as attractive in 2021 2021 will be a hot mess but it'll be a building block towards a much better 2022 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray75 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Very interesting mock, Rob. Not going in depth but you did trade a lot of players, man. Can see Barnett and Ertz being traded though. I like the majority of the players you took. Can’t go wrong there. Just nitpicking but can’t see Humphrey and Cox being available where you took them. About a round too late IMO. Plus Toney is best suited to play in a 3-4 if you ask me. Overall me like! P.s. I don’t know about you but I’m exhausted reading and doing mocks myself. Done for now...

Overlord Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Lane is still a top RT in the league.. id honestly be a little shocked if he only garnered a 4th anyway this does feel like a major over reaction to your disappointment in the trade return but even in saying that, i like the players you picked even tho some i doubt would make it to the picks you selected them at 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
