Hmmm Also understand the Eagles have shown us absolutely nothing for us to think they can find premiere talent outside of the top 10. As you can see they passed up Justin Jefferson and the year before passed up DK Metcalf. This year was going to be tougher to pass up talent because it was staring you right in your face.

That he exposed Wentz to be a weak bum is not making this a bad pick. It's not even that bad of a roster when healthy. And yeah, this was not the year to spend big in FA. This is about value too, not just throwing money around like the idiot Giants. We got a franchise QB who the Eagles don't feel is a franchise QB. Its moronic. And the roster sucks. Just look at the rest of the league...hell look at the rest of the NFC Least. We can't no longer say the Giants and Redskins are the bottom feeders talent wise because they aren't. They both have superior defenses to the Eagles. And offensively...they have more playmakers than the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwide Schrude Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I’m surprised so many hate this trade. I love this trade for the Eagles personally. Gives them so much flexibility going forward to repair this team, and we still stay in top 15 with a shot at a really good player. It’s also still possible, unlikely sure, that either Chase or Pitts could fall to the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidrone Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 1 minute ago, downundermike said: The cap space is based on the pre covid projection for the 2022 cap of 203 million. Lets say they inflate it to 215 million, that means the Eagles then have 38 million in cap space. The part you are missing, is Howie negatively impacted whatever the cap space by 48 million dollars in 2022, and 35.9 million in 2023 with his kicking the can down the road act. Whatever the cap is, it does not change where we rank in cap space. 23rd in 2022, 27th in 2023, 22nd in 2024. Again why does it matter other then to complain? You are concerned about numbers that are far off in the future that are not set in stone, that can fluctuate dramatically and have no bearing on what happens today. IMHO the Eagles (and any team) should be using every bit of salary cap they have. It does nothing for you but sit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now! Totally. Getting hyped with watching Chase or Pitts clips on YT. Now we're stuck with trying to get lucky and having someone drop instead of being in a position to take the best guy available.

He's projected to be the 1st non-QB taken in this draft. So we shall see. Seems like at this point most have Chase, Pitts and even Waddle going before Smith. I would think at least one and maybe 2 of those 4 will be there at 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have 25 million. It does not bother you that Howie had to shave 48.2 million off the 2022 cap space, while not adding any players to the roster for that year ??

jsdarkstar Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 If thttps://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/eagles-trade-nfl-draft-12-6-jalen-hurts-zach-wilson If there were any doubts before that Jalen Hurts would be the Eagles’ quarterback in 2021, there isn’t anymore. The Eagles, after reportedly failing to move up in the draft to position themselves for a run at BYU QB Zach Wilson, traded the 6th pick to the Dolphins in exchange for this year’s 12th pick and the Dolphins’ 1st-round pick in next year’s draft. The Eagles’ also acquired the Dolphins’ 4th-round pick in this year’s draft. The Dolphins had just acquired the 12th pick from the 49ers in a trade that saw Miami ship No. 3 overall to San Francisco. The Dolphins acquired the 49ers’ 2022 and 2023 1st-round picks. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Eagles tried to get up to No. 3 to take Wilson but that he was the only QB they were interested in, and when those efforts failed there was no reason to remain in the top 10. With a quarterback off the table, the Eagles’ attention for the 12th pick goes to one of the top remaining receivers or one of the top cornerbacks. And while the Eagles may now be out of contention for a Kyle Pitts or Ja’Marr Chase, the run on quarterbacks will push some non-QBs who might have been top-10 guys into the Eagles’ range. Certainly if the Eagles are earmarking a cornerback, they would presumably have a shot at one of the top three at No. 12 - South Carolina’s Jaycee Horn, Alabama’s Patrick Surtain and Virginia Tech’s Caleb Farley.

jsdarkstar Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/nfl-draft-10-possible-targets-after-eagles-trade-back-no-12 My guess: Howie will Pick Caleb Fraley the guy who is coming off back surgery and hasn't played. Eagles fans spent the last few weeks arguing Kyle Pitts vs. Ja’Marr Chase. And now the Eagles traded out of range for both of them. The Eagles on Friday moved down from the No. 6 pick in the draft to No. 12 in a trade with the Miami Dolphins. Eagles got: No. 12, No. 123 and 2022 first-rounder Dolphins got: No. 6, No. 156 Now, could Pitts or Chase possibly fall into the Eagles’ range at No. 12? Sure … anything is possible. But that seems unlikely. With that in mind, here are 10 possible prospects for the Eagles with their new first-rounder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a total BS story to begin with. As if they only want this one guy and then try to trade to three. Doesn't even make sense. Total backtrack btw. "were high on him some time ago." Just laughable.

Giants are already stacked at WR. Same with the Cowboys at 10 and Broncos at 9. Panthers at 8 will likely go QB. Lions at 7 could go WR. Dolphins could at 6 but OT makes sense for them as well. Bengals should go OT. Falcons at 4 could go Pitts but WR doesn't make sense for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
