I do crave some elite playmakers. But I’m with you on if we can pull three quality guys the first two days.

The thing to me.... not every draft will have the elite player when we pick.  At this point I'd like another repeat of last year.  Quality players in Smith Dickerson and Milton.   Nice RB picked later.  Stoll seems like a nice functioning player too.  A few drafts in a row like that and you got a solid foundation.    I want to start something that can last for a while with some quality young guys.

Draft is tomorrow night no more guessing what we will do after that 

For what it is worth did read want to say from Derrick Gunn that our top 2 priorities in this draft are pass rusher and WR. 

The appeal of a guy like Davis could lead to the Eagles attempting a trade up for him. You don’t see guys his size move the way he does.

Is Davis a 3 down player?  I heard Ray Diddy on the radio today.  He mentioned that Davis played at 350lbs but got down below 330lbs for the combine.   Said he could be another Cox type...but the weight and staying in shape is a concern.  Said at that high of a pick, he needs to be a 3 down player.

Agreed,I really want Davis here, but if we stood still then Wyatt at 18. IDK if we moved back from 18 which WR would still be around

Risk reward all I can say… if he reaches his potential dude is a destructive force guy that is 6’6 340-350

Albert Haynesworth could be the best comparison honestly in couple senses. Albert at his best was unstoppable but then you seen him get fat in lazy which could be the concern with a guy Davis size.

o be considered a true three-down player at the NFL level, Davis will need to have a better pass-rush plan with the ability to have a combination of moves ready to unload if he fails to win with strength alone.

Davis could improve his pass-rushing acumen with more of an explosive approach at the snap. In the games studied, he seemed slower at the snap than his athletic profile would suggest.

From what I heard sounds like we want to try and move up from 15 and back from 18 but need two to tango and of course could be smoke and mirrors who knows

yeah IDK how far back we'd move from 18. I was thinking 22 from GB. Maybe Williams falls that far. I assume Olave would be picked by then(may be gone at 18 anyhow)

https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/big-boards/2022/consensus-big-board-2022?pos=WR  Burks sitting at 22 right where we would trade with GB,if they wanted to move up 

Burks was ranked 8th at one time,now 22,so IDK how accurate this is,it's a composite of 85 boards. Some could be pretty far off

We still get to guess day 2 and 3 

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2955009-br-nfl-scouting-depts-final-2022-nfl-draft-big-board        If you think this list is anywhere near accurate,I would move for Olave or Gardner-who as you know was my initial pick right off the bat before we played our way out of the top 10. Personally he is too good to fall to the 11 they show here and I believe he is out of reach,so if I moved it would be for Olave. I'm not sure Olave goes as high as they think either. 10 seems a bit high for him. if he got to 12/13 I would very much move up for him. I would move up for Davis or maybe Johnson. I'm sorry,I am not sold on Hamilton going where he is

Complaints will be entertaining... as per usual.   Miss Snowleopard dude...  he showed up here twice a year....right after the Eagles got eliminated and then day one of the draft to complain about the first pick.   Classic. 

Last year the entertainment was from the people who complained about the Miami trade.  Most people liked Smith though. 

https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/nfl-draft-2022-jameson-williams-shares-what-he-he-heard-eagles   JMO,if I could stick and get Olave I would do that rather than move up for Williams as they suggest here

Hard to complain tomorrow unless Howie really WHIFFS this(which is always possible). I would like to see him succeed again this year,then I would feel better going forward. Round 2 and 3 you may hear the complaints coming in(may be from me too HAHA)

Idk... I think a decent amount of people left after one of the guts on here would always start to be the first poster on every Spuds article.   The " first" contest....DDD was huge on that, I remember.

I remember that,but not the guy who did it. Was that before we had to get the new board from VAEagle?

There is a link page on here to donate to VaEagle for doing the boards. I donate every year,I hope others do

back shouldn't be too difficult. I'm thinking GB,maybe Pitts from 20,but they may want our 15 and I think Howie will keep that to move up. Maybe Detroit too IDK. Should be fun watching all the "we have a trade" lights tomorrow. The move up depends how far we need to go. I would think 11/12 would be all we would do and I doubt the Wuss would trade with us,but the Vikes are at 12

Yes, I forget his name, but he would post first every time and would be hilarious.

How is that delaying progress? We got an extra first next year in the event we need a QB. Nice to see "planning ahead" when there are a few decent QB's coming next draft

Because that "extra first next year” was from our first this year. That’s an obvious delay.

I believe there were many who read the posts that didn’t want to get involved with the banter on the message board.
