While trying not to get massively flamed for saying something positive about Howie, his last 2 drafts are looking pretty solid so far. 
 

From the 2020 draft:

- We now have 4 decent quality starters in Reagor, Hurts, Taylor, and Driscoll(I guess one can saying Hurts is below average but still)

- 1 solid contributor with good potential in Watkins

From the 2021 draft:

- We have 2 good quality starters with a ton of upside in Smith and Dickerson

- 2 pretty solid contributors in Milton Williams(after Howie was highly criticized for choosing) and Gainwell

Plus the only big FA signing in the past 2 years he’s done has been pretty much a slam dunk in Javon Hargrave(Howie was also highly criticized for signing him over the past year)

Maybe the man has learned from his mistakes and is actually doing better. 

F you Howie is trash.  2018 actually looks good with Goedert, Maddox and Mailata.

This should go well. 

Knowing what you know now would you still have taken DeVonta Smith or went with Parsons or someone else?

Not everyone's cup of tea but Les Claypool is probably the most talented bassist of all time IMO.

Yup, hes really good, I mean most of Primus songs are very bass centric and bass heavy.

My sister in law abhors Primus, I don't mind them, not my favorite but can't deny his talent as a bassist

A little bit early to get the full picture on either draft, but IMO this can best be described as an optimistic view.

All 4 guys in the 2020 draft could be gone after their first contracts.  I defend Reagor a lot but he's resembled Agholor's first two seasons so far.  The light has to come on pretty soon for him to become a decent NFL player.  Taylor is a really raw project.  Hurts should be one foot out the door unless he suddenly discovers something few of us see.  I'd argue Driscoll would be the best bet at this point to be a long term Eagles player.

Gainwell is a rotational RB so far; not sure if he'd ever be a 15-20 touch per game player.  Milton Williams was a good value for where he was taken -- will be develop into a starter or just a rotational piece?  Too soon to say yet.

From 2018 Mailata is a success story.  I'd like to see Goedert get an extension at the right price.  I'm not as high on Maddox as others in here; I think he's easily replaceable.

That seems like way too personal a question for a a public sports board, maybe leave those type of inquiries for PMs...

Im not sure what's going on here but I'll throw out cliff Burton as one of the best bass players of all time.

 

Like Duane Allman, gone way too soon with so much more to give. 
 

This is the tune Clapton heard on the radio and said "who the f is that guy playing guitar”

Kyle Brandt says Devin Hester should be a HOFer, he was the very best returner of all time.

I think I agree. Is it enough for the hall? I think so, maybe not first ballot tho

Name another returner that's in the Hall strictly for being a returner.

James Jamerson of the Funk Brothers - as good as any of them.

And a plug for Jack Casady.

Entwhistle is my favorite though.

As we have already agreed, Davion Taylor is basically the same as Parsons.  So Mac Jones. 

Regarding bassists...

If you look at all of RnR, you should add Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins to the list.

Influencers as well as great players.

I'm not sure what we know now about DeVonta Smith other than he has occasional drops but usually has bad balls thrown his way and since week 2 they completely have avoided trying any type of deep shot to him.

Good thing he was a guitarist and not a drummer.

Entwhistle is in a class by himself, Justin Chancellor from Tool is really good, but since it’s Tool, you either love em or hate em.  Same for Danny Carey and Adam Jones, Carey is awesome, Jones admittedly isn’t, but his sound is so unique.
