Does training camp count?

I feel like all of TC the only thing Reagor worked on was one handing passes instead of actually becoming a good WR 

 

decent video here touches on Ezukanma, Shakir, and Phillips.

Really seems like Ezukanma is an excellent comp to Burks at a far greater value. Same size. Same 4.55 speed that looks way faster on the football field. Really good jump ball ability, and yards after the catch. 

On Phillips, I remember weeks ago @ManuManu shared a clip of some WRs release highlighting how some of the most elite releases have footwork that actually looks like the player is gliding. You see that over and over again in Phillips' routes in this video (or any phillips video). It also mentions one of his TDs comes against Stingley. Phillips puts a great move on him to get open, then runs out of his tackle attempt and runs away from him to the end zone. And it has 2 nice blocking highlights. One is a common one we have seen if we have watched any Phillips highlights. But another shows him actually blocking a supposedly 240lb LB. Its the 2nd video I have heard Phillips compared actually not just to Renfrow, but even Cooper Kupp.

I mean they were undefeated in TC.

 

And a lot of that is a tribute to Hurts and how he performed in those joint training camp sessions.  

This vid shows some seldom talked about Edge prospects.

Starts off with one of my absolute favorites- Cam Thomas. Listen to the guy when he lists his stats and how they compare with Hutchinson, Thibodeaux, and Karalaftis. Impressive.

Then goes to Tyreke Smith. Shows the raw athleticism and how he was beginning to develop throughout the season. (Also shows big Faaleele can deal with a speed rusher)

And finally Jesse Luketa, who I havent watched much of because I figured Reddick fills his role. Luketa is the opposite of what I thought. He seems almost more of a power player. I expected an udersized DE/LB tweener who would win with athleticism. He could be a player the eagles like in late rounds to back up Reddick since they seem to like power edges. 

 

 

Long story short- Everyone needs to get on board with Cam Thomas as our absolute best shot at a stud DE in this draft. Hes better than a bunch of guys that people have ranked ahead of him. Far better than a lot of people realize.

Pump the brakes on Araiza 

That’s why the Eagles had a private workout with him.  Bet there were a lot of directional kicks  and looking at his placement, spin, hang time and bounce. 

On that rare occasion Eskin is actually correct,

Fantastic fight.  This Round One is surely one of the best of all time.

There's admittedly a lot to like with Thomas, but that late hit at 0.59 was vintage Barnett. 

Hopefully it was just a one-off, because the Eagles already re-filled their moron quota at DE this off season.

Phillips gets open almost at will.

Had to chuckle to myself watching the play at 8.37.....he'd better get used to that level of frustration with his QB if the Eagles draft him.

In all fairness, look who is throwing him the ball.  He probably needs to practice off-kilter, behind, and wildly over thrown catches.

In the mock draft section guess who drafted Thomas?

oh man.. remember that one and so many people freaking out about him in that one play.   That was his best play of the entire year.

Saw that too and thought about him doing it in Philly pretty much every play.

Tyreke Smith is a guy I am very high on for late round gem.  OSU just seems to put out quality edge players.  They coach them up right.  Smith might be a guy that turns into a better pro than a collegiate player.   I also like Luketa.   I haven't watched enough of Thomas to have an opinion.

Thomas is like the next Watt brother to enter the league.  He just has a different last name.

I hope he turns out more like the other two than Derek Watt.

Well, let's slow the hype machine down a little bit.  JJ is a HoF edge.  Thomas isn't even being talked about as a first round pick.  He might get there someday, but let's not talk him up too much and let Pittsburgh nab him before us in Round 5.

Happy Easter! Good to plug in hole at CB. I'm okay with Corral, but prefer Pickett.

I like the PFF tool, but think it undervalues QBs slightly. I don't think Willis, Pickett, and Corral make it past pick #11 overall.

 

PFF definitely undervalues QB.

Every year I have a tradition where I buy the jersey of my favorite college player no matter what team he lands on. This year it’ll be Jameson Williams. It just happened to be WRs the last 3 years. CeeDee Lamb jersey, Chase jersey. This year will be Williams. Will be interesting if he goes to Washington and I have both a cowboys and commies jersey in my closet 😈

If you have a Cowboys jersey hanging in your closet, you’re not an Eagles fan. Period.

All 3 are guys I’m interested in. If they go D/D/D with their 1st and 2nd rounders, I’d  highly consider Shakir or Phillips in the 3rd, Ezukanma in the 4th. 

I took TWO white WR’s. Suck it racebaiters.  Traded 15, 101 and next year’s 3rd when Johnson slipped a little.
