Travon Walker shouldn't even be a top 10 pick; he's getting a ton of push just based on being a combine warrior.  Not a whole lot of production on the field.

I heard this morning the Jags are between Hutchinson and an OT at #1.

I think Icky would be a good choice, lock up the offensive tackles. Hutchinson is tempting, seems to have a really good personality too.

If Jameson Williams is the best pick but wouldn't be utilised well by Hurts, the correct choice is still to draft him though right? And replace Hurts down the line if needed. I don't think you should pass on a player just because another player of yours isn't good enough to utilise him properly (if it does turn out that Hurts isn't good enough - which is yet to be fully determined).

You don't want to see 2 wide open receivers down the field as Hurts scrambles?

Don't DGAF about what Hurts can't do.

He's not an important enough factor to dictate who we should pick, he's a stop gap QB.

I don't think Jameson Williams would be the best pick at 15 and I think that would be exacerbated by pairing him with a QB who can't get him the ball 

I also think it's been determined hurts can't throw deep, I mean I get he's a rookie but he's got 6 seasons of college and  pro tape that show he can't so ...

I'd rather spend that luck on a player that can contribute rather than spend a 1st round pick on a 4th or 5th receiving option that the QB can't get the ball to 

Having said that I could ultimately see howie taking a deep threat WR coming off an ACL at 15 that his QB can't get the ball to because it's also established that Howie is an idiot.

Curse?  It was a blessing for us... do you remember how many pages you had to sift through after the news broke?!

Read the below your post.👎

 

I think Jameson is off the board when we pick at 15. We'd have to trade up at least a few spots to land him.

Still don't GAF. Get me Jameson.

Don't care what Hurts can or can't do for 1 year.

All for Jameson Williams pick at 15. Easily my #1 choice.

Over him, I'd take any of the following for the Eagles (in no particular order): Hutchinson, Hamilton, Walker, Johnson, Davis, Gardner, Stingley, Thibodeaux. If all of them are off the board, I would be ok with Williams. Personally at WR, I have a much higher preference for either a larger-bodied WR such as Pickens, Pierce, Ezukanma, Tolbert, etc. on day 2 to pair with Smith outside and Watkins in the slot, or a nice slot prospect like Burks, Metchie, Phillips, etc. to work the middle with Goedert and Smith/Watkins outside. Not saying I don't think Williams is good...I think he'll be a very nice NFL level deep threat. But I just think 15 should be defense and 18 should be a trade down.

Hopefully.

I'd be very hesitant to invest such high picks in any prospect coming off a significant injury.

For me, virtually any prospect with an ACL, Achilles, etc. would not merit consideration in round 1.  Too much risk.  Even in round 2, think of that Sidney Jones pick.  I recognize every injury is different, but that is the kind of gamble you would be more comfortable making when you had a stronger, contending team, rather than a building team with many long term needs, IMO.

You should care that 15 is awfully high for a WR coming off an ACL.

I get teams get obsessed with speed and it's a passing league and Williams has the potential to be a game breaking WR but 3 WRs in the First round 3 years in a row seem a bit excessive.

If pick 15 comes and he's there and he's the highest rated player in their board then follow your board and make the pick and maybe he's the next randy moss and Howie looks like a genius.

We'll see, eagles don't have the best record with taking Injured players which would give me pause as well 

I'll say this if he weren't hurt he'd be long gone by pick 15 so yeah maybe he's good value at 15 but is he worth the risk???

Guess we'll find out, hurts being QB clouds my judgement.🤷‍♂️

The biggest reason I want Williams is that he’s the best complement to DeVonta.

In Smitty, we already have a WR that will siphon the majority of targets. As a result you need someone across from him that can make the most out of the targets he is given.

Thats what Williams can do better than anyone in this draft. You don’t need to feed him 7-10 targets a game, he can have a major impact with 4-5 a game.

Burks for the slot, and Ezukanma to play X with Smith, Goedert and/or Watkins on the field...sounds fun to me. Got your NT in Mathis, a d-line chess piece in Hall, and an underrated EDGE in Thomas. Robinson as your thumper/RB2, two S for 2-high, a nice o-line developmental guy for Stoutland with positional versatility, a nice TE2, and the 2nd best CB in the draft.

I don't think it's a huge deal. He's three months removed from ACL surgery already which is a far cry from Jones tearing his achilles six weeks before the draft, like Ojabo. With the way Howie made it sound when it comes to injury timelines, Williams is most likely on our board and Ojabo isn't.

My bands hate me this time of year. I will be absent for both Thursday and Saturday gigs to be glued to the draft. Food on the grill. Appetizers to feed an infantry. As the previous poster mentioned, I'm one of those psychos. 

If the Eagles take an OL before pick 83 something is getting thrown or broken in my house.
