Well we know he isn't "backed up" anyways

Doubt that, you can sweeten it by throwing  in Dillard though 

And Reagor - I have just heard they like Pickett but want to move from 15.  They have also said they aren't finding anyone wanting to trade up for a player and that's likely because there's no one that wants a QB.  I don't know if they have that much leverage.

 They’ll have a top 5 -6 pick next season and hopefully, no team wants to move up and give them a 1st rounder for next year because that’ll really screw up the QB’s in the 2023 draft. 

Hopefully, yeah. 

It's looking more and more like Howie made that trade with the Saints so that if we wanted a QB, we could be competitive with teams like NYG and Atlanta.  Not necessarily better positioned.  

Here's my dream world first 4 rounds before potentially getting disappointed in less than 12 hours. Board was crap for us at 15 so I traded everything down.

4. JAQUAN BRISKER, Penn State (6-2, 209, 4.48, 2): Played two seasons at a junior college before starting two of three seasons in Happy Valley. "Second-round range,” one scout said. "Battled through injuries throughout the season. He’d get dinged up, sit out for a couple series and then come back. Athletic, good speed and instincts. Played hard and pretty physical. Made two key plays late in the Wisconsin game. He’ll start. Only concern is, is he injury-prone?” Compared by two personnel people to Adrian Amos, another ex-Penn State strong safety. "Very similar,” one scout said. "Brisker probably has more knockback than Amos … Tough, can run, can bend. He has everything. He fits in many schemes. He can blitz, set edges. He’s a wanting tackler.” Finished with 153 tackles (10 for loss), five picks, no forced fumbles and 19 PBUs. Wonderlic of 14. "I see absolutely nothing in this guy,” a third scout said. "Average size, no desire, not productive, not aggressive.” From Pittsburgh.

What?

Didn't they stop taking the Wonderlic?

 

To answer my own question I guess they still are

 I think he had 7 tackles in the SEC championship game as well.  Hill probably fits better because he’s more versatile but I’d rather have a killer like Cine 

 

 Eagles take Lloyd and Cine, we find out tomorrow morning that Howie went to the hospital after having a seizure.  

More like Weidl slipped him a roofie.

I love these things when the clueless guy gets quoted. Just like WR Coach 4 the other day.

Yup, same here. I'm also getting that feeling for Quay starting the last two days. Imagine the physicality with those two. You can still add a good DE or CB in round 2 with a trade up. 

I'd prefer both Cine and Walker over just Davis.  I would love to see those two.  Would transform the attitude of this defense.

Meh, the whole menu is mostly binders. Beans, tortilla, rice, cheese etc. I've survived off of mostly street food for a month in Thailand a few years back.  My gut ain't getting taken out by a Queserito like a lil ****. 

Saints trading more picks for a LT to replace Armstead and not actually improve their team🙏

Over/under 4.5 trades tonight

Over. I'm hoping we make 2 ourselves.

KERBY JOSEPH, Illinois (6-1, 203, no 40, 3): Hardly played at all in 2018, started two of 12 games in ’19 and spent the first half of ’20 playing WR. Started as a senior and had a takeaway in seven of 12 games. "He’s a late riser and will shock everybody,” one scout said. "He is so explosive. The defense at Illinois was terrible. They didn’t use him correctly. He can get off the spot. He is a tough f-----. He may sneak his way into late two.” Long arms (33), a 38 ½-inch vertical jump and 16 on the Wonderlic. Never ran the 40. "Maybe that means something, maybe not,” said a second scout. "But most likely it does. If he runs slow that will drop him, and if he doesn’t run that will drop him. I’d estimate 4.6 flat. He’s shown some really good ability to track the ball.” Finished with 115 tackles (two for loss), five picks, no forced fumbles and 11 PBUs. "He was one of my favorite guys to watch all fall,” said a third scout. "He’s smooth. Long, athletic, good size. Starter. At worst, you’re getting a real solid No. 3 and special-teams type. It’s a concern that he didn’t run.” From Orlando.

I think the real issue is that he’s nervous.  As one of the biggest Howie Fluffers in here, he’s scared of another bad draft.  

I think @HazletonEagle is probably more like me than @austinfan.  I mean he wasn't happy with either the Barnett pick or I think Reagor.  He was happy with last year's draft.  I think last year's draft was good or at least looks better than what we have seen in the past. 

Last one @BigEFly

I'm not sold at all on Pickens. Ebeketie is also kind of meh.  I don't even know if that draft results in more than one starter.  11 out of 10 Howies.
