DK Metcalf? So Howie has to overcompensate by drafting Mr. Glass? Trade back 10-15 spots and grab him. Don't pass over really good D talent for a risk. Fill a hole long term.

And was the undisputed leader of the best Oline in College football. Oops. Misread. My bad! Elaborate on his injury history. That doesn't concern you at all? Has he ever played a full season?

Some mocks had him as a 3rd or 4th round pick. If anything we could've traded back and collected more assets. This is absolutely a "smartest guy in the room" pick. Look, he’s not my top choice. I was hoping for Tyson Campbell or Asante Samuel. Still gonna be some nice defensive players at 70, especially with this oline run going on right now.

jsdarkstar Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Solid pick. Have to protect our QB and he's a perfect fit for depth at C/G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyDan1969 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Man, I like the kid, but his injuries are concerning. My biggest gripe is that this defense needs to be addressed and soon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTW Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I hope he's not another Sidney Jones, an injured player they have to wait and groom only to find out it doesn't work out. If so we'll be looking at defensive players they should've taken in the 2nd here. He looks like a beast let's hope he's healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesfan0075 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Talent wise, he's first-round caliber, played well in the SEC against the best defenses, even won the Rimington trophy for best center in college football in his first season at C, but would have preferred someone with less injury risk. Can't give this one an A like the Devonta Smith pick, I think WalterFootball (yeah I know not the best site) nailed it on the head grading this move a C given the injury risk. At least it's not an F 😂, which some of the Howie moves of the past have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolg Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Dickerson makes sense. He can play interior OL, and Center if/when Kelce retires. That fills a need. Injury history is a big concern. They left a lot of good D/secondary players on the board. Maybe they’re thinking one falls into next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdarkstar Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 His recovery is right where he wants it to be and doesn't have a time frame. He's right on schedule where he wants to be. He also has a nasty streak. Good interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for the most with a 15 sack margin....... top ten for most sacks given up in a season EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s pro ready, best C in the country and the leader of one of the best college Olines in history. Yes the injury history concerns me but I’m not "throw ish at my TV” angry at all. He’s a long term successor at a very key position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opa-opa Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 For some reason unlike the Braman years in the Lurie era the Eagles just don't have much good luck with defensive high draft picks. Cox is an exception but the list of high defensive draft picks that were busts is too long to count. Howie maybe realizes that so he's just going to save the defense for the later round picks.

eaglesfan0075 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Daniel Jeremiah has him ranked at #40 on his top 150 list, right after Asante Samuel Jr, so it's not like he's some major reach here in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
