Its sucks a d big time. I mean Howie did not get Hopkins as he was protecting the draft picks and uses a second to get a back up QB. You cannot make this shiz up

That's the stupidity of it all. You miss out on this premiere talent because you don't want to lose your 2nd rounder but you throw your second rounder away.

That 2nd rounder well could've got them Lamb too. It's like he has 2 prime chances for a massive upgrade and refused them both in favor of a known far lesser outcome.

Look, it wouldn't be the first time i was wrong, but I just never saw any justification in his play for the hype this guy got. I wasn't impressed but maybe I missed something. I just don't think he's a special player. To me, he's just a guy, and his issues could be a big liability at the next level.

You very well may be correct. But this is a 4th rounder we are talking about. I would've used a 4th rounder to figure it out. He was graded much higher than that. I would've had a problem with the 2nd and 3rd but in the 4th its a steal. He could bust. Just like most guys in this draft.

What the Eagles did in the 2nd round is a complete spit in the face and has ruined this offseason. Because you can tell me that you didn't want to get rid of picks for Hopkins because you wanted a young receiver in the draft. Ok. You can sell me that Reager was high on your board. But when you WASTE a 2nd rounder on a backup quarterback every questionable move you made this offseason rears its ugly head. Now there is regrets for Hopkins. Now there are regrets for not trading up to get Lamb. 

I ran out of likes,  but this 100% I’d forgotten about Hopkins over the last week, but being we have nothing to be excited about, circling back around.

I don't see why it couldn't have gotten them Lamb. I personally think Diggs got overvalued so I won't knock them for that. But that Hopkins deal was embarrassing not to be in on.

 

All offseason I've been hearing "Just wait for the draft its a deep receiver draft". I'm sorry but when I was told repeatedly its a deep receiver draft I expected to end up with far more than Reagor.

Yep. This was moronic.This type of arrogance....this fanbase deserves better than that. I'm just so confused by the "F YOU" to us fans. 

 

Meanwhile, the Redskins, Giants and Cowboys seem to be drafting with their fans in mind making solid picks. This whole draft has been questionable and I question the intent. 

Anybody know what we got in the Dallas trade?

Yes, with even with what they were saying all offseason and acknowledging how they whiffed on previous historic drafts, the most WR needy team in the NFL comes out with.....one, highly agreed reach

Move back later in the 5th and next year's 5th.

Howie values draft picks and getting younger so much...he trades picks to division rivals to help them get younger while we have a Center who talks retirement the last 2 seasons and we have no viable backup to him.

 

Joe Douglas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> wittle Howie

Which leads me to believe Howie was more hands on than we all wanted to believe. We ragged on Joe and he’s killing it. I’ll give it another year, maybe two due to CFB uncertainty, but we may find we yet another franchise altering mistake

With little effort, they could've had 1. Hopkins and Duvernay (or your favorite mid round slot WR) OR 2. Lamb and Duvernay (or your favorite mid round slot WR) OR 3. they could've had Reagor, Mims and Duvernay (or your favorite mid round slot WR). There were 3 options and any one of them would have been the BIG HELP they were going to give Carson.

They chose to take Reagor, and then draft an injury replacement for Carson? That was their brilliant plan to get him help?

To me, that is 100% a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in Carson Wentz, period. It's like they say around and said F him, he's always hurt, let's get another QB.

Pick 164 coming up. Don't F this Up Mitchell (Howie)
 

 

And......Bryce Hall to the Jets.

I was hoping some how they would land Hennessey. Mostly because the name is refreshing.

The funny thing is, how many times since the Spadaro interview a month ago did he bring up "wanting to give the fans a distraction” "something fun”. While, I understand that was more of a general statement to NFL fans, it stings.
