Our LB's in this system, behind the DL, do not need to be great.  They need to fast and be able to tackle.

Hurts has 42 college starts, playing for Alabama/Oklahoma. By 2021, he's definitely going to be the backup.

He is the back up this season.

Baldinger was just on WIP and destroyed the Eagles draft.

-Said Reagor was a huge reach. If the Eagles thought Jefferson was a slot guy they dont know what they're doing.  Says he "tore up"  the SEC on the outside in 2018. Should have also taken Murray over Reagor. Called Reagor a gadget guy with questionable hands and poor production.

-Likes Hurts a lot, had him as a top 50 pick. Bad pick for the Eagles though. Should have taken JK Dobbins.

-Davion Taylor is fast but it doesnt matter if you arent a football player.

-Kvon Wallace was their best pick and will contribute the most as a rookie.

- Eagles fell in love with analytics in this draft. They drafted fast guys and athletes, not football players though.

 

Shame he didn't recognize that Reagor out produced Jefferson in 2018... 🤷‍♂️  

Baldinger honestly sounded angry and offended that the Eagles chose analytics and athletic traits over production. He came off as a total dinosaur.

Nah. I don’t see it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they signed Flacco or McCown either.

I don’t care about 42 college starts. The NFL is different. Plenty of college vets are terrible.

He was acting like a petulant child. He wasnt just sharing a negative opinion, he came off like he was offended that they chose to focus on analytics and athletic traits. He really got bent out of shape with Reagor over Jefferson and the Taylor pick.

How much did they want Lamb?  Speed isn’t his game. 

I don't want to keep harping on not getting Lamb but his game is complete.  Imagine him with Hightower/Watkins/DJack/Goodwin.   All that speed to go along with a complete WR.  Unstoppable.  Still excited to see what all speed does though.

Honestly his evaluations of WRs in the drafts have never been good. He does a good job breaking down film on twitter but really he goes over the top either direction when he talks about players upside or downside

I really believe this pick was in the plans all along. One of Wentz or Hurts will be moved in 2 years.

Wentz will be the only one worth moving and then we are stuck with Hurts?

🤢

Is that the first time Baldy has ever been negative?

I like the draft more after his comments

Naw he’s been negative before. He’s gone into some eagles players before but based on the film not in a projection like the draft.

Yeah.  Thunderbirds.  They're cool.  But not as cool as the Blue Angels.  Goldsboro isn't that from me.  

I saw the Blue Angels many years back. Made me want to be a fighter pilot in my next life.

I mean he has claimed Mailata is HOF after a few preseason games.  I like his breakdowns but sometimes he's over the top.

One of the biggest corollaries between college and success in the NFL at quarterback is starts.

Mark Sanchez and Mitch Trubisky come to mind.

Sure, I remember Reid saying that with Kolb. That doesn’t mean he’s going to develop into being good enough year 2 to be the backup for a franchise that obviously highly values the position. 

You’re proving my point about taking it for granted.

I wanted lamb but i don’t think atlanta was in a position to trade down. They wanted a corner. The issue is i believe if atlanta trades back to 21 that the raiders at 19 would’ve taken aj terrell would likely was their best available corner on the board. Meanwhile. Think eagles would’ve gone lamb that Dallas was just as likely to take diggs at 17. I don’t believe they thought he’s reach 51 and they liked him enough to take him at 17 if lamb wasn’t there. Can say chaisson but i think it was just as likely they take diggs who some had as a first and some didn’t. So by 21 atlanta would’ve had to reach like the raiders did on the OSU Qb. 

really the eagles if they wanted to move up had to hope wirfs went earlier. So tampa bay at 14 didn’t have the OT in play. I think tampa at 14 if wirfs is gone by 12 would’ve wanted to trade back with how the board fell and that was your likely best spot to trade up. 

Baldinger is one of those guys who doesnt understand the meaning of balance when it comes to his opinions. Its always going to be over the top one way or the other.

Agreed.  We were just rebutting your summary dismissal of college starts being relevant.

If we drafted Lamb, we wouldn't have two of Hightower/Watkins/Goodwin.

Josh Adams was such an enigma.  ND/Stanford from 2017 was on last night and he was just so good in college. He wasn't bad here as a rookie FA.  Not sure what keeps him from being good. Is he too upright? Not enough wiggle?
