At this point they may only be able to get a 6th round pick for him, a 5 if they are lucky, but that would be addition by subtraction. He isn't the type of player you want on your team, around your other players. He only plays LT and unfortunately he can't play it any where near the NFL level. After just two days I'm sure the FO realizes this now and is racing to make an extension offer to Mailata. The question is how receptive will Mailata be to an offer that is sure to be a low ball. And what is he worth right now? Will they offer 7-8 mil a year and will he want 20? Stay tuned.

Dillard was already the first guy out with the ones and he didn’t even play last year.
August 2, 20214 yr https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/devonta-smith-injury-eagles-wr-week-week-knee-sprain Quote Eagles rookie DeVonta Smith diagnosed with knee sprain Rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith is listed as "week to week” with a knee sprain, the Eagles announced Monday morning. The Eagles privately do not seem overly concerned about the injury. The week-to-week designation generally means a player will miss at least two weeks, although the Eagles don’t put specific timetables on injuries. Smith, the 10th player taken in this year’s draft, hurt his knee toward the end of the Eagles’ non-padded practice at the NovaCare Complex on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles’ preseason opener against the Steelers at the Linc is 10 days away. They also have preseason games against the Patriots on Aug. 19 and the Jets on Aug. 27. The regular-season opener against the Falcons is 41 days away. This is the second year in a row the Eagles have drafted a wide receiver in the first round and the second year in a row he’s gotten hurt in camp.

August 2, 20214 yr 2 years in a row the 1st round pick WR gets hurt early. The concern with Smith was his size and durability in the NFL. Hopefully this is a minor setback but this team has had the injury curse for years.

Hopefully this is a minor setback but this team has had the injury curse for years. It sounds like he'll only rest it a couple weeks. We already know he's the #1 here. This should give the rest of the guys more opportunities to improve or showcase improvement. I'm not too worried about Smith's preparation. I'm just happy we have a normal preseason this year which will give the younger players a better chance to prepare than they had last year

Dillard was already the first guy out with the ones and he didn’t even play last year. Highly doubt he would "force" Dillard into the starting lineup to save face. If your theory is that it's purely an ego thing, wouldn't he have as much incentive to want Mailata to take the spot and continue to develop into a stud left tackle? Then he would be the GM who discovered this raw talent, plucking him from an Aussie rugby league to become a seventh round steal. Solely from an age and potential standpoint, Mailata gets the nod there as well.
August 3, 20214 yr 3 hours ago, EazyEaglez said: Bust. I said that when we drafted the guy, Do Not Like PAC-12 players, the competetion is inferior which usually renders soft players, moreover, he was weak and somewhat smallish, I'd target 325+ guys for the O-Line.

August 4, 20214 yr 12 hours ago, NOTW said: Well he’ll have his opportunity to prove himself now with an entirely new coaching staff in place. Maybe he’s right and we’ll see a strong starting trio in Smith, Reagor, and Fulgham. And maybe I’ll be meeting up with Kate Beckinsale later for drinks and "dessert”.

Watkins and Hightower and Lewis battle it out for 4th WR.
