Lol... this is hilarious ... and pathetic.    You have at least one kid there.... and you punch a hole in the wall... and drop F bombs.    It's not even a game, it's a stupid draft...lol.    

Wait 5 minutes before punching anything dummy.... you might end up with an extra first round pick...lol

Yeah this video is sad. The guy is out of control in front of children. The wife isn’t any better cursing like a sailor. I’m emotional come Gameday. I used to yell TRENT everytime he made a play so loud it didn’t matter where you were in the house.

I don’t see Grimes materializing into much. Glad his coach gave him a shot in the Big League. I think he’ll work hard on the PS. Good to have.

IDK, anyone think we could pick up Vander-Esch? Or would you want to?  I know he always wears that neck brace,obviously that did not help

LB with pick 1 and I liked KJ Britt for us late, but we never draft LB's

Vander Esch could be a great addition next season. We have a ton of so-called LB right now. Feels like most are a reach. ST guys mostly.

IDK they drafted a bunch and they have a bunch,someone will be out. I suppose they could re-sign him,but see no reason they would need to

Yes, not only Parsons...didn’t they take Jabril Cox also? Vander Esch is out.

Right... idk about all this, but I'm a huge fan of Nelson and the way he plays,my favorite OL to watch.    Said if I were the Giants, he would have been my pick instead of Barkley then get a RB next pick ( would have been Chubb but does it really matter)    Will Hernández ironically was their 2nd pick that year.   Nelson 20 times better, just changes the whole attitude up front.  

If Dickerson is half of Nelson...   lol half Nelson...   that would be great. 

I called Nelson the best player in that draft. You know...just to get the I called it moment in. LOL

I think this hits on the difficulty of the situation. It would be nice to have a durable stud C so you don’t have to roster several. We’ve been spoiled only really needing Kelce for a decade. It was telling of how Siri is looking at things. A big C that can really move some people at the point of attack. Much different than Kelce. Kelce could lock on defenders. He was always good with angles. He also could get to the second level. But he couldn’t blast anyone off the line. Johnson, Brooks, Dickerson, Seumalo and Mailata can punish some people. Big and physical. Let these it’s run block and attack defenders.....pass blocking becomes much easier after the defenders are bruised up and tired....maybe even a little leery of getting mauled. 

That's the way I like to see an OL play! Go run heavy and punish them, then step on their neck with big pass plays. Not just down field, but YAC should improve too once the D is beat up some.

Exactly! That pass rush seems a second slower after they had to pick themselves up from getting mauled a few times.

Bills exercised the fifth year option on Josh Allen....shocker!

Crazy how the Chiefs pulled off paying Thuney at G, trading for Orlando at T and drafting Creed Humphrey at C. Has an Oline been rebuilt any quicker?

Bears released their LT after drafting his successor. I’ll give you one guess where he ends up? You answered Colts....you are correct....tell him what he wins.

Ham, here's a nice example of an O game plan coming together. Of course it helps when you have a D that can play like this. Duce was a complete brute this game. 

GB, as far as injuries you mentioned checking the water at the Nova. I've got the secret formula………pickle juice. LOL like Popeye's spinach. 

I remember this game well. The Windsor and Pepsi was flowing quite smoooooth lol. Sure do miss Hugh Douglas and the rest of that D. Aikman got mauled lmao. Then Ramblin' Randall had to step behind Center. 

How's it going TD? Heading your way in a few weeks - Elizabethtown. Won't be doing much, taking care of Deb's Mom at Masonic Village.

At least the Saints vs Eagles game's on NFLN - Hurts'  1 game.

Ojulari got diagnosed with arthritis in his knee. I was wondering why he fell so far. Definitely explains it

Hurts, Sanders, JJAW, Goedert,  . ...   Jones         .... Eric Rowe, Jordan Matthews, Zach Ertz,  Kendricks, Curry .... these are the 2nd round draft picks since 2012.       One guy didn't play because he stuck... one guy you could make the case it was due to never being the same due to injury.   

ONE FRICKIN GUY!     ONE ..... UNO.  

How do you make this seem like a trend with second round picks?     Wow did Sydney Jones have a psychological effect here!    One fricking guy 4 years ago and its all of a sudden an annual tradition?    

I'll even go back to the 1970s ... if you can find the other 2nd round pick that didn't play due to injury, let me know.   Hailey's comet is more consistent that this idea.     

 

Tampa Bay has 8 starters from the first two rounds the past 4 drafts. That is how you do it! JJAW is a starter? Rowe is a starter? Jury is still out for Dillard and Reagor. Second round was awesome! So you are confirming our deficiencies! We don't draft right and you think it is OK? How often do we draft a guy with injury history in the 2nd round before Jones? You clearly do not get it. I hope Dickerson plays great for the next 5 years. But odds are he fails due to recurring injuries.

countRy. IDK I looked up Yazoo COUNTRY and there isn't one,so Yazzo county is indeed in Miss,so IDK wth is going on(no surprise there).So we drafted a guy we don't know where he came from. Nice accuracy (pfffffft) " I don't know, it started with an "M" and he looks pretty big"

I see a RZ threat

SO, I read an article about how long players drafted in a specific round last in the NFL. Data goes back the past 15 years. !st round players drafted: 71% are on the roster for year 5. 2nd round players are on the roster year 5 - 41.9%. 3rd round - 18.8% are on the roster year 5. I also states that 83.9% of 2nd round players start year 3. So maybe we want to try and grab a player that has a solid chance of starting year 3? Wentz tore out his knee in November and was not ready to play until like week 4 of the following season. So Dickerson has an ACL surgery and we expect him to be ready for Game 1? Here is a 330 lb player and he is going to be ready over 2 months sooner than Wentz?

   As I said many times, I hope Dickerson proves me wrong and has an injury free career. But do any of you honestly feel he will not miss numerous games the first 3 years? Non of these players has a better shot at starting for 5 years?

Christian Barmore - DT

Richie Grant -s

Levi Onwuzurike - DT

Kelvin Joseph - CB

Asante Samuel - CB

Aaron Banks - C/G

Azeez Owasu-Koramoah - LB

Dayo Odeyingbo - LB

Pat Freiermuth - TE

Nick Bolton - LB

Josh Myers - C/G

   We take someone that had 4 surgeries in the past 5 years. Joe feels it is warranted and that is fine. His opinion. Mine is he won't.....

And everyone else hehe

One thing I find interesting is that our draft, after pick 84, probably looks exactly the same whether we trade with the Cowboys or not.

We traded pick 84. But there are reports that the team almost traded back into the third to grab Zech, so it is very likely we would have drafted him with pick 84 had we kept it.

If we drafted Zech at 84, does anyone think we would have passed on Gainwell at 123? From all reports he was great value at that spot, and he fits exactly what the Eagles want to do at RB.

I don't know if we would have taken Marlon at 150. I love a lot of the picks who were taken around that time. Nixon, a few safety prospects, a few wr prospects were there, but if they really loved someone, they could have traded up to grab them with all of their later round picks, two of which we ended up trading for a fifth rounder next year. So I have to believe that Marlon would have at least been in the conversation at 150.

So for all the angst of losing pick 84, ultimately our draft was probably exactly the same. The only real difference is that had we not moved up for Smith, he wouldn't be on the team.

Ther some concerns sure but played most of the games last two year at Bama. He is only 22 getting with nfl caliber trainers and medical staff.

Howie Roseman said on WIP this morning Tom Donahoe wanted NC State DT Alim McNeill when #Eagles traded back for Milton Williams. Can confirm from 2 independent sources that was the case. But he wasn’t only one who wanted McNeill. Donahoe also thought another 6th was needless

Doug liked to run the ball too.  It helped Wentz a ton last year!

It's all the QB in KC ...  he has had to overcome lack of talent within the offense his entire career so far.
