I don't believe BG wants them to go QB first. His point is what he "foresees" they will do. 

Understood, but he ignores the multitude of teams that want a QB. Jet won't take one? How does he know this when all indicators are they will?  Ryan is aging in ATL? Big Ben getting up there in Squeelerville? Jags sticking with moustache?

The way the NFl is set up today drafting a defensive player is secondary. 

Look at KC. High powered offense mediocre defense. Don't get me wrong, i love watching good defense but the current rules are set up to penalize the D. 

For example lowering yout head to make contact is a personal foul for the defensive player but how many times do we see it called on a running back? I think i've seen it once since the rule was put in.

TB put Mahomes on the mat. ALL game, of course defense matters

Good to see you DC! Well thought out btw. Saw the Inquirer's been running some scathing articles RE: Jeff, Howie and their mismanagement. Hoped enough an an uproar would have forced Jeff's hand to get rid of Howie - no shame!

I think all this talk about the Eagles taking a QB is just that talk. I think it's being put out there by the organization in the hopes that if there's a team that wants to move up for a QB, it will push a player they like down. Having said that, it's not something that can be completely brushed aside and dismissed, because Howie and Jeff like to think they're the smartest people in the room.

Furthermore, I'm not sold on Hurts and I didn't like the pick when Howie took him. Hurts will likely give the Eagles wins, but I doubt it'll be enough to put them into the playoffs and it'll be just enough to keep them drafting in the middle of the pack.

The entire situation is a clusterF and Howie should have been fired with Doug, instead, Jeff expects him to dig his way out of the hole he originally dug.

Right now shooting for .500 is a GOAL HAHAHA(UGH). I'm fine with a trask at 38,giving Hurts competition. maybe 1 works out(or not) but it's a time buyer so we can get the youth and talent we desperately need. With our O line, Lawrence would look bad

If it were me, I wouldn't go QB this year, the lines need rebuilt, the secondary needs help, the WR corps is still suspect. And Jeff left the person responsible in charge

Me either, I would take Pitts, some like Parsons. Either would be a stud holder while we rebuild the rest. Lots of good WR's in the class,no need to reach for one. I DO have Trask as my 38 pick. he is the bottom guy on the top tier, so maybe there is upside there and competition for Hurts and at worst a BU for him.other wise there are still decent UDFA QB's who have upside and can serve as our 3 for now. You can check my last mock. not getting it all done with 1 draft,but it's a decent start

 It always makes me think of this Heartbreak Ridge clip

 

We'll have to get QB's in, as long as we don't spend high picks or $ on them. GB and I really like Pitts at 6. I can be a bit more flexible - Parsons, Farley, Sewell, Rousseau. All could start and we need every position.

Trask will be gone by 36

That'll more than likely be the plan, to sign someone for vet min.

Add Surtain into that mix. I 100% agree. We just differ on what we need first and y'all know my view on Pitts as the best bang for the draft buck. Any of those you mentioned would help, and franjly if we took Chase or Smith it would not shock me either,just feel WR's can be had later

  Lurie should have made it clear to Howie....

 

But Howie must have something on him to still be here.....

I love Chase, Smitty and Waddle, if I were the Eagles, I'd look to trade down and take Waddle, maybe Howie can draft another QB in the 2nd round

Yeah,why I have trask in 2 and have mentioned 3 possible UDFA snags in Book, White,or Thomas who would be our 3 for the moment

IDK Pitts is a machine, not just a TE and IMO you can get capable WR's far later. great class and we don;t need a stud,  just a solid reliable and even in round 5(Shi or Grimes) I found a few that would fit the bill,so for me WR is not a pressing need. I'm, sure we will take 1, I would just wait for a value pick

You're cherry picking one game out of a season. 

Yes TB had a good D plan and Mahomes played liks crap (well like crap for him) but overall the NFL has decided to put a greater emphasis on the offensive side of the ball

Lets also remember thanks to ARs kid KC had a pretty major distraction just a few days before the game. Did this affect their play? We'll never know.

Maybe he can make it an annual event.

Doubt Chase is there at 6. I was high on Smith, then took a look at Pitts and was wowed the more I read - believe he'll be a better weapon for this team, esp losing Ertz

Smith was my original 1 pick. After seeing Pitts more and doing research he is more of a weapon than smith

Slept 2 hrs, had to read that 2x about the QB in 2, then saw the smiley

Hurts should start due to his small amount of real experience,however if one of these others can beat him out,good for us, or another possibility is Ertz for Foles trade to the Bears and put Book(or QB 3) on the PS. UDFA QB's besides Book are White(Memphis) and Thomas(App. St). Any of these 3 are better than Duds was

Exactly what I'm thinking.  But that next statement is too spot on to be worrisome.  

Hopefully if this rendition of the team fails miserably Lurie realizes Howie is not the man to dig this team out of the hole and he is swept out with the rest.  

Jaycee Horn, CB, SoCarolina, Najee Harris, RB, Bama, a lot of DL & OL at 36
