And to me I just don't know what they are thinking in terms of their defense. Poor Gannon. The injuries are a definite concern. I like the player a lot, but not the pick for that exact reason. As for your last comment though, it's pretty clear. This is a two year rebuild and they can't fill every need in one draft.

But the injuries are a real red flag. And I think there were better players on the board at other positions.

From a pure standpoint of talent and ability he was as good or better than anyone who was available at the time.

Barmore. JOK. Ojulari though to be fair there are injury concerns with him too I think? And that's factoring in the Dickerson's injuries. From a talent perspective I think yeah perhaps he's better than those I've mentioned but you can't discount the injuries.

I would have went with Barmore but he has character and work ethic questions as well. I also would have went with Samuel but him being 5'10 is a real concern. JOK slipped all the way down to the 50's because he's a 220 pound LB who had medical concerns. Ojulari has a degenerative knee issue and we all saw how short Todd Gurley's career was due to that. Notice a trend here with all of these guys.

But the injury flag to me is the biggest one. Well unless the guy is a complete a hole with a really shady past who gets in trouble all the time.

May 1, 20214 yr Not sure how I feel. Seems like a big gamble at 37. Jordan Hicks comes to mind. He could end up being a stud.

The kid is a mauler when he's healthy. But it's a big gamble. 2 ACL tears in his career? 3 season ending injuries in 4 years at college?

If they wanted O-Line they could have gone Kendrick Green in the third.

If they wanted O-Line they could have gone Kendrick Green in the third. I'm not even saying it should have been a corner either. They just needed to be smart with the pick and a player with an injury record is not smart.

This is a two year rebuild and they can't fill every need in one draft. This guy should have been red flagged and taken off the board. This guy is going to spend more time on IR than on the field. So much risk. You don't pick a guy like that at the top of the second..with so much other talent on the board. It is beyond stupid. 2 torn ACLs , multiple ankle issues.

May 1, 20214 yr Trash pick. This is a prime example of why the Eagles are where they are now.. Dude is injury prone and he won't even contribute to this season.. Once again Eagles try to get cute with the draft...Why is it so difficult for this team to draft in the 2nd round. Its always a reach, injury prone, or something we don't need.

Still a few guys available that are solid picks there: Tay Gowan Robert Rochell Rodarius Williams Keith Taylor Israel Mukuamu would be my top 5 still available with Rochell being my fave. I think they’re going to take one of the RB’s: Michael Carter or Kenneth Gainwell.
May 1, 20214 yr As a player judged on talent it's a good solid pick, this guy is easily a mid first round pick with a better medical record. But dang you look at his medical record and he's basically gone down with a season ender 4 seasons out of 5. So talent wise I love the pick, but given the O Lines injury issues last year this looks a big risk.
May 1, 20214 yr Quote The rugged pivot moves defenders off the ball utilizing his strength, power and explosiveness at the point of attack. Injuries are a concern, but Dickerson flashes All-Pro potential when healthy and available. This is why they picked him, there was no else they could have drafted at #37 that had a legitimate All-Pro ceiling. Howie is taking big swings, here's hoping our injury luck has finally turned.

May 1, 20214 yr 3 minutes ago, UK_EaglesFan89 said: Didn't they do this 3 years ago with Sidney Jones? Yup, and because Sidney didn't' work they didn't draft Metcalf 2 years ago. I think Howie learned after those two players that injury concerns are not a one size fits all, just because Sidney didn't work doesn't mean others won't either.

Id stay away.

I mean you'd think at some point our luck will change? But at this point you've got to think it is something they are doing wrong.
