Seriously, do people even watch college football or do 30 mins of research of prospects in the NFL draft before they run their mouths. People like Brooks and ESP get Fing paid to do this. If people don't like the pick and think they really should have forced a CB pick rather than go for value, fine. To say this was a horrible value pick though which is what I keep seeing and hearing is just downright stupid and lazy. I think it's more they wanted a DB.

He probably wanted a modest trade up for andre cisco who will be the next dawkins and Howie had his clever little discovery of the combine warrior for the third rate school and wouldn’t do it because he couldn’t look clever. What a dork. Well I feel for the older scout. I mean he would have spent countless hours scouting a player who was available there at 73. He then gets overruled by Howie and then that snake wants to fist bump with him. It reminds me of the movie Trouble with the curve where Clint Eastwood is the older scout and Howie is that sleazy GM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll find a way to get a solid starter into the building. I’m glad they’re not reaching and forcing picks. Outside of Surtain, Horn, Farley, Stokes, Campbell and to some extend Samuel, Melifonwu, Adebo and Molden, this CB class sucks. Hopefully they get some really good players today. Still some talent left on the board... I dont follow college football much. What about the corner the cowboys drafted? Joseph.. any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most Cowboys picks, he has character concerns. He basically got kicked off one college team, and the team he transferred to was supposedly happy when he entered the draft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road to Victory Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 This pick is all about Howie trying to replace Malik Jackson. Kind of reminds me when he thought Arcega-Whiteside would replace Jeffery. Yeah, that worked out well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan was for the pick to be Parris Campbell. Nobody seems to know why they deviated from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman#12 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 It seems pretty simple......the eagles have a lot of needs, and they clearly were prioritized by WR, CB, LB, OL, DL and TE. When you have the picks available, and the players that can fill those roles slotted for those picks positions, why overthink it? I'm sure Dickerson has loads of potential, but for a team that has crushing injuries over the last 2 years, and especially on the offensive line, why take a high injury risk player? You would think the eagles learned something from the sidney jones experiment. The eagle approach the draft like they are a top flight team with abundance of talent. They take hi risk guys, they take too many "projects" with high picks, they don't take players who fit obvious needs when they're available. I've been a big defender of Roseman because of his ability with the cap and his ability to move around the draft board. But it seems like what he did for the super bowl team has gone to his head and he makes moves that have no discernible justification. They had a chance to address WR, DB and LB with some really talented guys who could contribute right away....but come away with 1 starter and 2 guys that may or may not contribute this years and they still have huge holes in DB and LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting for need is what has gotten us into trouble in the past. Furthermore, we don't need a slot corner like Robinson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weko Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 4 hours ago, Procus said: And the upside of having four sixth round picks in this draft instead of three is? You can package those early 6th rounders and move up 20 spots into the 5th round. I'd be looking to do that as the 5th round will offer players that should make your roster. 6th round is more of a practice squad type. I would trade up and get a 2nd 5th rounder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It aint supposed to be fun and you should never be satisfied with your effort or haul. And you certainly dont high five or fist bump or celebrate i dont care how bad you wanted the player. It’s arrogant and unprofessional and looks stupid Anyone ever hear Bill Belichick say how much fun the draft was? How about fist bumps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
