T-1000 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 This is a good pick. Its a LB. Hes incredibly fast and athletic. High upside guy who needs some work but should help on STs right away. It's really too bad. If Howie didnt get stupid in round 2 and had taken Mims or Fulton this would be a great draft so far. Big picks in round four tomorrow. Need to get some help for the secondary, OL, and maybe another WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After posting a blazing 4.39 in the 40-yard dash at Colorado’s Pro Day, he upped his draft position to become a possible 3rd Round pick." https://denver.cbslocal.com/2020/04/23/colorado-buffaloes-nfl-draft-football/ Ernie Sims was an athletic freak as well with poor instincts. Hope this guy turns out better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utebird Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 54 minutes ago, Ipiggles said: nah, Jon Harris, Danny Watkins, Jerome McDougal, SIdney Jones LJ smith, Agholor, the list of not so great high picks is long, we just don't draft well consistently. Every now and again we hit some home runs, but it's more rare than common occurrence. I agree, we have yet to draft any lineman, or DB's Yeah but at least those guys had potential to play, hurts ceiling is to get traded in a few years for hopefully more than 53rd pick in the draft. Using a 2nd on a developmemtal qb when ones qb just signed a multi year extension is a criminal use of resources especially for a team that has holes to fill. I dont care if hurts in 2 years fetches a 1st round pick hes still a worse pick at this juncture than every guy listed above. I mean kolb fetched a higher pick than where he was drafted but no one considers kolb not a bust. The eagles arent in a position where they can afford to groom a qb for an aging vet. Theyre grooming him for future draft capital which is asinine. It would make sense if he was a 4th rounder that was flipped for a 2nd or 1st but a 2nd rounder??? Why not just use the current draft capital to acquire talent instead of using draft capital to maybe acquire future draft capital. The value in return isnt worth the time and cost took to possibly acquire it. Its just a high risk low reward investment.(end rant) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I don't care about this move. They've taken a QB and haven't given Wentz another weapon on day 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They view Hurts as a weapon for Wentz on gimmick plays. That's how dumb their thinking is now. If Howie and Doug were paying attention to the Saints, they should've noticed that Taysom Hill's gimmick plays weren't working well in the playoffs because teams were figuring out that he usually runs sweeps. Those gimmicks like wildcat and inserting guys like Hill have a shelf life. Coordinators usually figure out tendencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they said they were going to take production over potential, actually on field play vs combine warriors? Could have sworn Howie or someone said that at end of season. I thought he said the opposite tbh. I’m sure I can remember him saying prior to the draft that he thinks they put too much stock in production.

Infam Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I admit I don't really know much about this guy. So, I'll ask the most important thing right away: Can he cover? 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUEagle Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 CBS seems to love the pick: 103. Eagles: EDGE Davion Taylor, Colorado Grade: A. Taylor got a raw label during pre-draft process I didn't see. Crazy fast. Takes on and defeats blocks with authority. Played and held his own flexed out as cornerback at times. Major range. Reads keys quickly. New-age LB and exactly what Philadelphia needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Hurts pick I became numb, lost interest, and almost fell asleep. This pick is very intriguing, though. It’s the definition of "boom-or-bust.” His speed, acceleration, and physicality can’t be taught. The downside is that, since he hasn’t played enough football, the instincts may never be there. The range of outcomes truly go from "best player in the league at his position” to "out of the league because he can’t be trusted on the field; blows assignments in the same way Howie blows 2nd round picks.” He was said to be one of the Colorado coaching staff’s favorite players and it’s fun to watch him take on/attack blockers. His skill set is the prototype for the modern NFL. He potentially fills a tremendous need, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsdarkstar Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 This draft pick doesn't know how to play LB. He has to be taught like Gerry. Another wasted pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pick comes down to one thing as Howie said " one of the fastest, explosive players in the draft" Howie has gone speed crazy at this point and that factor has taken over his draft board. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to take a deep draft and come away with virtually nothing except Reagor. He did that with the draft last year in a RB deep draft, Pumphrey. At least he's consistent.
