Looks to me like all the ones that actually know a bit about football liked it, and the news outlets didn't.

Curious as to who everyone would have drafted at 53 instead of Hurts. I would have taken Mims, Fulton, or Chinn.

Exact same as my list in that order.  I might have consider Hennessy as #4.

I viewed Chinn as a S/LB hybrid, and oddly enough Ike Reese is insistent that Taylor will be used in that role. Not sure I agree but it's an interesting take.

I think if Reagor, Wallace and Taylor can turn into starters relatively early, this will be a successful draft. Taylor has to beat out Gerry, Wallace has to beat out Mills and Reagor has to beat out ???, so it appears to be doable for each guy.

This offense should be off the charts if Reagor is any good and DJax comes back healthy. On defense, the only real loss is Jenkins, and they are adding Malik, Hargrave and Slay. Edwards for Bradham is an upgrade IMO, and if Taylor can beat out Gerry the LBs should be much improved. Corner is a concern, but if Maddox/Jones can lock down the #2 spot, the defense should be good. Mills will be a decent third safety, and they can use Parks in a dime package.

This feels to me like a Super Bowl team if the LBs/secondary improves. We know the offense is going to be better, and know we have some depth so one injury won't kill us. Best of all, we won't be playing guys like Agholor or Bradham just because they have a big contract or because of where they were drafted. I don't think there's a single guy who won't have to earn his way on to the field, which feels like it was a lot different than last year.

Well I'm pretty sure we will not have the slowest set of receivers like last year. Fools cannot catch but can definitely run. JJAW on the hot seat.

Multiple JUGS machines at Nova Care for a start? Hope they don't have head problems like Algholor.

Thats the key.  I hope the Eagles learned their lesson and included a detailed psych evaluation for all drafted players 🙂

looks kinda skewed that in general successful organizations are rated lower while more of the the historically unsuccessful organizations are higher (a bit of a mirror of draft position). These kinds of analyses when viewed in retrospect and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Howie was on Rich Eisen's show. I haven't watched it yet. Just saw the video and thought I would share it.

 

Man the packers REALLY don’t care about offense lol.

Interesting that the guy (Thor Nystrom from Rotoworld) who had the lowest overall average GPA, which means he was very critical of many teams drafts, gave the Eagles an A-.

That was a good interview.  Howie has a pretty good sense of humour.  I think he explained their reasoning for the pick pretty well.  If you really wanted to commit to a quality backup for the next 4 years who you feel can step in and help your team to keep winning then fine.  What I don't want to hear is they're going to use him like Taysom Hill.  Wentz is lethal in the RZ so we don't need gadget plays there or on 3rd downs.

Rodgers just has to be livid. Being I’m still a Vikes fan I have no problem with that

These ratings are a crapshoot just like the draft itself. Makes for good conversation. Come back to this in 3/4 years and see how they did

I would have taken Denzel Mims and AJ Epanesa with the first two picks. The NFL disagreed.
