Guest Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 12 minutes ago, Dwide Schrude said: I’m wondering if we see a combo of DE/DT in first round this year. Feel like it’s the most obvious thing given Howie’s priority of the DL/OL, our DL having major long term ???, and it being the strength of this draft. It’s a perfect storm. More signs that QB will be priority 1 this year. Building up O-Line and D-Line, but not providing immediate impact skill guys. While I am one leading the charge to get an actual QB, Hurts may suffer the same fate as Wentz not getting him help at WR to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the scheme in general will be institutionalized here. One where both safeties needn't be a key part of the run fit, thus making sure the we don't get beat deep on play action.

RememberTheKoy Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 If they could get Jordan Davis at 15 and then the best available corner or safety at 19 then that would be ideal. Go edge, LB and WR in whichever order with their three day 2 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say that I know much about Wyatt beyond his age. Does he project to be a positive pass rusher? If not, I can’t get on board. Just buy that kind of player in FA.

As long as Gannon feels that he can scheme around either of their strengths I don't think it matters. Davis opens up more flexibility on defense, IMO.

The Eagles have consistently over invested in DT with questionable results under Lurie. Not many pure busts to speak of and the position is never a weakness, but an enormous amount of first round picks and cap money for guys who just get the job done and don’t wreck offenses.

The 2018 draft was very good. Hopefully, 2021 will be very good. Unfortunately, the 2017 draft gets about a D and 2019 probably gets a D. Wow… 2020 was terrible, too.

Sack that QB Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Wyatt feels like such an Eagles pick. He'll be "solid" for 5-10 years, but a bunch of edge rushers that went in the same era will be creating havoc around the league. Maybe I undervalue DT, but it feels like very few greatly impact games, and most of the good DTs in the league are solid, and you can find those guys in free agency. That's why if the top edge rushers are gone at 15 and they want DL, just Fing take Ojabo and redshirt him. He's a stud. Or trade down and get him.
