The NFL has weathered that storm before. The1983 draft has essentially two draft classes in one, and the supplemental draft in 1984 after the USFL folded was big too. They'll figure it out.

NOTW Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Why do I feel like Howie is going to trade away that extra 1st next year on something foolish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But love the move down to 12 and I want to see how this draft and last years pan out. If he doesn’t draft well again then we need someone else running the show with our 3 firsts. For better or worse, he seems to have Lurie's total faith and trust. And he is good at cap and trading strategically with draft picks. Where the wheels come off is player personnel. His entire reason for being is to build a roster that is in the championship conversation year after year. That has not happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgcd3 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 This feels like the year that the Eagles desperately need a CB, the draft is deep in CB and they don't pick a CB before rd 3. We've lived this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beto_eagles Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 OK, it's draft day and I'm all in on Smith. If Asante Samuel falls to us in the second, that'd be a pretty good combo IMO. That said, I'm ready for Paye and a random guy I've never heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Howie: moving back to 12 gave them flexibility to move back up if they like a guy, but they like their board for picking at 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentwo Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I'm nervous about the trades above the Eagles hurting their chances to get a player they need. It would have been beneficial if the teams above them took QB, allowing other positions to fall. We will see what happens tonight, but perhaps that is why the rumors of the Eagles trading back up have started. They feel they can't wait for Surtain, Horn, or one of the WRs to fall to them.

Every year I’d get all amped up for the draft long in advance. The past couple of years I’d start off all juiced but as we got closer I lose a bit of my enthusiasm. This year is the most extreme. I’m just expecting Howie to F this up at this point. May just watch a Golden Girls marathon ... might be less painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
