I'm not sure if  everyone realizes the enormity of this statement.   

Apparently Lurie made that Hurts call.

I never thought I'd say it but we almost should consider another WR in the first. This team needs someone big and physical.

Been saying this for a while.  The Eagles WR problems are far from solved.  Smith is nice but he isn't physical.  Watkins is a great speed guy.  Reagor is looking more and more like a bust.  The other WR on the team have a combined 2 catches.

There's going to be loads of talent.  The Eagles lack talent.

I dunno. We got Smith and a extra first off of last draft. That was nice. Smith is a stud. 

That was a solid move, agreed.

Wasn't a fan of taking Reagor either.  I wanted Tee Higgins.  

I wonder if Howie would have taken Hurts if Wentz never got injured in that playoff game vs Seattle.

I blame Clowney for all this.....😄

I wanted Jefferson.

The question is what do you prioritize?

The eagles could go into the draft needing a Starting Corner maybe 2, Safety maybe 2, Edge maybe 2, Interior OL and at least 1 linebacker? This whole roster is either aging or lacks talent.

The real miss that year wasn't not having a possible trade up for Lamb. It was not taking Jefferson when he was right there!

You prioritize the highest talent players.

Smith and Watkins should be here for several years.  Instead of drafting another WR maybe they should look at getting a couple established veterans thru FA to pair with Smith and Watkins.

Would have preferred Higgins or Jefferson over Reagor.  Didn't really follow TCU but any highlights I saw of Reagor didn't impress me that much to be honest.

I think OT is now also a priority with Lane's situation. He's already getting older as it is anyways. Jordan is not as good at RT and he's better than Dillard at LT who can't play RT. Total cluster F, which is completely normal for this team nowadays 

Early line has us +3.5 against the Raiders.

I actually think they will just can McCarthy if he has a bad post season showing and just promote Moore 

McCarthy was brutal today.

With 4 teams ahead of us...

Maybe they are going for, I think it was 2009? The year magic happened the last week of the season and jumped like 4 or 5 teams in one day because a whole list of things happened and made the playoffs lol. Think that was the year we lost to Cardinals in NFCCG. Although that team was good and just underperformed. This one isn't.

Yep, it's a huge problem they have.  Smith, Watkins and Reagor can get by.  I'm not counting on Tay Gowan to be anything more than a ST, backup CB so they still lack any sort of youth at CB.  They have ZERO LB.  Need a starting DE as well as depth DE.  Depending on Godert's contract issue and Jackson's development, TE is up there too.  Gonna need another RB.

Oh yea...quarterback.

People need to stop the lament over Lamb, the trade was never going to be there. Atlanta wanted their CB. 

Agreed not a single person in here knows if there was even a trade to be had and it's ridiculous to sit here and lose your minds over it. 

Is it just me or is the Steelers punter a little chunky?

They could use 2 safeties as well. Rodney shouldn't be brought back unless it's a extremely cheap one year deal to get us by. Harris will want to get paid a bit. Wouldn't make much sense for us considering we suck 

Uh oh.

Yep. The inexcusable mistake in that draft was passing on Jefferson.

I think they got a big enough lead already in the division it doesn't even matter.

Forgot about safety.  That too.  Center too.

It can end up affecting their seeding and playing for first round bye though. 

Raiders have the personnel to give us trouble. They're a zone team like Dallas/SF that rushes 4 and makes you make go the length of the field (we couldn't score on either). On offense, Carr is more than willing to check down, check down, check down, etc to advance the ball. We have no one to matchup with Waller. Of course, their OL is not great and Carr can get skittish. Kolton will handle Barnett, but we can win everywhere else.

I think Dickerson is the Center replacement. That's his true position.

Let me introduce you to Cooper Rush.
