Here's cosell talking about Drake London Trey burkes.

11: 00 minute mark.

I think cosell is on point, he calls London marquise colson, not Mike Evans, I'd agree.

I wont argue with that. I've been extremely disappointed with him but i expect Howie to hold onto his investment for atleast another year or two. I think a guy like Strong would do wonders for him and the entire pass catching group.

Well, yes.  Having a QB that's better at throwing the ball should help all the receivers look better.

Yea we really messed up taking the Jalen's back to back to start the 2020 draft. It was project city that year from Reagor to Hurts to Taylor😒. There's a strong chance none of them are on the roster in two years. Another Howie special☹

That draft severely hurt us I think. That was a high quality and deep draft in multiple spots and Howie/Jeff really screwed the pooch and put doubt in the fandom mind. If they just took Jefferson & Chinn, whom the scouting dept had rated as best available, how much better off would be be right now. To see what Gabe Davis is doing and taken right after Wallace is just another embarrassing black eye on this regime. Especially since we wanted receivers that draft as we took 3 of them. Hightower and Reagor both busts. Quez is fine, but it could have been light years ahead of where we are today. We are still chasing after WR. Could easily take one in round 1 this year and even possibly next year if we chose.

I would start prepping your emotions for another lackluster year of offense and Hurts now no matter how much it, ummm, hurts. We have the ammo to get our new signal caller next years draft where the quality of the position is much improved. 

We may have the ammo but that wont matter if the teams at the top need QB's. Teams called the Bengals about the #1 pick in 2020 and they hung up the phone. There are atleast three teams(Lions, Seahawks, Texans) that will have two 1st's in 23', probably be worse than the eagles/saints and in need of a QB. If Young, Stroud & Anderson live up to the hype this year, then the first 3 picks of the draft probably wont be for sale. Are the QB's after Young/Stroud that much of an upgrade from this years class? Guys can rise but they also can fall. Rattler & Howell were projected top 10 picks at one point. This is why i want to take a flyer on Strong after round 1. Give ourselves some insurance incase Hurts doesnt improve and we're unable to secure one of the top 2 next year.

 I think about having Jefferson & Chinn and then getting either Horn/Parsons in the 21' draft and it depresses me. I love DeVonta but having Jefferson, Chinn & Horn/Surtain is world's better than Reagor, Hurts & DeVonta. Really hope that 2020 draft was as much of a wake up call as they say it was because we cannot afford to continue missing on our first 3 picks. 

A sleeper I like is going Sean Rhyan for RG, plus & play. He could be the finishing touch to make us the

Yup, that's the fascinating thing with the draft, one wrong move can put you in turmoil for years and causes a domino effect on all kinds of decisions for years. The sad part is, Howie never would've drafted Parsons, the guy could end up in the damn HOF,  but nope, he's a LB, no value. That thinking makes me physically ill. Part of the reason I have extremely little faith he will build us back to a serious contender. Too many misconstrued beliefs and I just don't see him building an elite long term roster, especially on defense and through the draft.

Nice little Sunday. Watched my son play soccer. First mow of the year done. Post mow beer. Then I fixed the Eagles.

The Giants and or the Commanders could be looking for a QB in 2022, plus depending on the draft this week, Seattle, Carolina, Atlanta, Miami, Indy, Detroit, Minny, and New Orleans could all be looking for a QB in 2022 and not one will trade that pick if they believe it to be a franchise QB. 
 In a perfect world Carolina drafts one this week, so does Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Atlanta or Seattle.  Teams that take a 1st rounder this week, probably won’t next season.    
 With Stroud and Young next years QB class should have Jurkovec, McCall, Haener, McKee, Rogers, Armstrong, Richardson, and Levi’s.  Obviously all of them aren’t going to be franchise QB’s, but at least most of them have typical size for QB’s.

That definitely is possibility unfortunately, I can't sit here and say tank the year either. It doesn't work that way, but it might be the very best thing that could happen. Land a top QB in a strong class without giving up any ammo, which we have a lot of the next two years. They may need to secure another quality pick for next year. I would think you could trade back from either 1st and land a 2nd for 2023. That enables us to trade two 1sts and two 2nds to start, which is a pretty powerful package. I'm not a Strong fan, I lean towards Ridder for my guy this year, but I still don't want to take a QB. 

Was torn between Woolen and Hall, but went for the wild card d-lineman with elite measureables. I felt fine there after doubling up on two long corners later.

Yep. This has been my thought on London. Not at all a guy I want the Eagles to draft.

Richardson is probably the one most likely to rise up boards because he has freakish physical tools. He could take a massive leap this year but he's not a very good QB right now. Certainly someone to keep an eye on though. I dont exactly think Young/Stroud are cant miss saviors either. Eagles could be up crap's creek when it comes to finding a franchise QB over the next few years.

The Eagles wouldn't have been able to get Horn or Parsons. They were picked ahead of them. They'd have to trade up and the teams that got those guys wanted them. The only reason Dallas traded with Philly was because they knew Philly and NYG weren't taking Parsons. If Philly was in on Parsons, that trade never happens.

I was assuming we'd still have Wentz & the 6th overall pick. Now it's possible that Wentz doesnt play terrible if we draft Jefferson/Chinn instead of Reagor/Hurts but i wasnt going that deep into a "what if". I just know if you take Jefferson/Chinn in 2020, you probably prioritize securing one of Horn/Surtain in 2021 over getting another WR and ammunition in the 2022 draft.

I just don't think you turn down that Miami trade under any circumstances.

Going into "what ifs" with Howie's draft moves... that's a terrible game to play.  So many scenarios to untangle.

I thought that trade was all about securing assets to potentially get a QB this offseason. The plan was to give Hurts 2021 and have the three 1st's in the offseason to go big fish hunting or draft someone. We ended up striking out on Wilson & Watson and the 2022 QB class isnt good according to scouts & analysts. I dont know if they make the Dolphins trade if we draft Jefferson/Chinn in 2020 and stick with Wentz. It's all moot at this point.

Man, Wilson torched him twice on that EZ route.

I wouldnt say he doesnt like him at all, just that he thinks he's a complimentary guy, not a number 1

 

Brand new Phillips highlights. Love those punt returns. But everything is awesome. Hes unguardable. Hes at least Renfrow good from day 1. Can he be Cooper Kupp good?
