Traveler Vic Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Basically if you compare Daniel Jeremiah board to the actual Eagles picks, there is a direct correlation. Something that most Eagle fans also noticed. Eagles nailed Day 1 and 3. Day 2 ??? Not so much. Although some fans like me hated the value of day 2 picks and would have went in a different direction. Overall a good draft not withstanding. Player Actual pick Jeremiah’s ranking DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama 10th overall (1st) 6th Landon Dickerson, OL, Alabama 37th overall (2nd) 40th Milton Williams, DT, Louisiana Tech 73rd overall (3rd) 72nd Zech McPhearson, CB, Texas Tech 123rd overall (4th) 85th Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Memphis 150th overall (5th) 78th Marlon Tuipulotu, DT, USC 189th overall (6th) 126th Patrick Johnson, DE/LB, Tulane 234th overall (7th) 124th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Overall you've got to say on paper this seems like a pretty good draft. Of course it is to early to tell and of course we need to see how this draft pans out but value wise these seem to be good picks. And of course add in the extra first Howie got for trading back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perforator Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I don't know enough about college players to say if they are good or not but we had a glaring need at corner back so to come away with one 4th round pick is a F for fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Not for nothing, but it seems like every year everyone is loving the Eagles draft picks until the players start playing. At least for the past five years the Eagles early draft grades were at least a B. It’s all good until these guys have to get on the field and prove if they can play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerolithe_Lion Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 If the Alabama interior lineman stays healthy it’ll probably be a decent haul. If not, then DeVonta will be carrying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times does it have to be said that the draft isn’t to fill short term needs? That’s just a horrible strategy that gets you players like Danny Watkins and Jaiquawn Jarrett. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s just a horrible strategy that gets you players like Danny Watkins and Jaiquawn Jarrett. I’m not sure what that narrative means. Are you saying they couldn’t draft a quality corner and accomplish both long and short term goals? Corner appears to be an area that has short term needs as there is only slay and long term needs as slay won’t be here after next year. So next year they’ll have to go big in FA or spend a lot of draft picks at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Dickerson is better than Asante Samuel Jr... draft Dickerson. Just now, EazyEaglez said: The one where you claimed panned the Eagles draft doesn’t even show a grade.
