But right now they don't have anything... They have to at least have some competence on the field otherwise its very hard to assess any position.

I'm fine if they pick up a free agent but I'm not spending a third for a guy that might have upside. Might as well use your own pick then and draft a guy that will also have upside.

But when I say might have upside I'm thinking a team that's already got a lot of options. My buddy @Ray75 provided me with a list of potential options the other day. That list included 4 guys in Tampa where they've invested a number of second and third round picks over the last couple of years. Why not go for one of those guys? They can't keep them all beyond their rookie deals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a team trade a guy if they have upside? Seems like they don't since they keep drafting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of it led to this mess and Carson being crap bailed his ass out of an even worse situation. So the moron needs to learn to draft better before I would allow him to have free reign on trades and free agents. Yeah some people right now seem to think Howie is good again. Well he finds ways to stick around, but he’s the one who created many of the problems this team has had. I can acknowledge Howie did good (and got lucky too) to get out of the mess HE created. Still if his drafting keeps stinking the Eagles will not progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gathered, the Steelers got rid of Nelson for a reason. That contract wasn’t the only issue. In his short career, Conley has already played for two teams. He also got injured last year. I don’t know what Howie will do but I’m fully expecting him to address the CB position one way or another. Can’t go into the season as is with either James or Maddox as your best options playing opposite Slay on the outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I doubt they can keep all 4 guys happy and pay them at the end of their rookie contracts? So why not see if you can get a return on one of them? I appreciate it may be a long shot.

Then that QB comes back and wins and everyone is all over the QBs nuts because he brought them back! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The QB was drafted as a backup, and for the most part looks like a back up Every WR is a WR2.. but probably a Wr3. The entire defensive line would all be good supporting cast members on other teams with no clear cut star The Linerbackers wouldnt start any where in the league Outside of Slay the Dback room isnt good and most would have a hard time finding a home if they get cut. Im unsure if we're too optimistic on this board, or plain dumb(which some are) but this is a REALLY bad team Sigh Hurts was never drafted to be a backup- that’s why Wentz was so upset. Too early to judge him. We have one of the deepest D lines in the league. A lot of our backups would start elsewhere. Nelson has been a good starting corner with both the Chiefs and Steelers. Harris and McLeod are both good starting safeties, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of talk after the very first couple days of camp in his rookie year is just ridiculous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players thrive at cover 2, and some utterly suck at man coverage. Need to look closer at each individual case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
