pgcd3 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 1 minute ago, UK Eagle said: I suppose this draft is one of a GM that knows they have just signed a 3 year contract, rather than 1 year left on his deal. Some picks not solving an immediate need, some positions not materially better since the season ended but as a 3 year play, the urgency to solve all issues is not so great. Yeah I'm not a Howie fan but I feel better about the direction of the team. Feels like the future is setup outside of QB & secondary. Not trivializing those at all but at least the list looks more narrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglestime34 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I would rather have another running back instead of a te. That said I also don't know who was available at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to in theory give Kelce a year mentoring his replacement is good. Having a DT to potentially learn from Cox is a $14m golden handshake, etc. The 2022 season will likely have some issues, but the core of the team is younger over the past 2 drafts. WR, in theory, is no longer a concern. OL, is not a big concern, etc. Whether Hurts stays or goes, there is optionality for next season. Next offseason, there should be no more excuses on roster composition or salary cap issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't that easy to fill with Productive players. I do like the last 2 drafts. Still plenty of work to do though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe sign a S in free agency. Team doesn't need to be perfect if it nails the QB which obviously is really really difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuManu Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I skipped out on most of round 7, so bring me these guys as UDFAs (if they haven’t been picked) QB - Strong, Coan RB - Goodson, Price, Brooks, Z White (SC) WR - Toure, Rambo TE - Allen DE - I Thomas, Tagliova or however it’s spelled), Luketa LB - Domann CB - Gray, I T-S, Gilbert, Goodrich S - McKinley, Corker, Bell, Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltpeter Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Ultimately, the draft is about getting the best players. I think the Eagles got 4 starters, including AJ Brown, with their picks. Can't do much better than that. But holy S today was a terrible viewing experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManuManu Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 If we want a cheaper big back, Darrell Williams is still out there. Sony Michel as well. Looks like the UDFA RBs are gonna be garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the NFL. Players get injured. There is no guarantee that Kelce or Cox even make it through preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The guy in France Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I guess I didn’t care for the AJ trade, seems like puss move. Could’ve rolled the dice on Burks as Tennessee did and kept the 3rd plus save $78 mil over 4 years. Johnson was there too and Pickens in the 2nd. Brown was my favorite receiver in the 2019 draft but too late now. Got to think what could’ve taken place if we hadn’t traded up for Davis, sure he’d be a Raven but then maybe could’ve hit on Hamilton at 15 and then Johnson at 18 and oh yeah Travis Jones went 76 and picked by guess who ? Howie I guess got the message he’s not great at drafting. Did I mention Davis was my guy … at 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RememberTheKoy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I hope AJ Brown doesn't even bother with getting #11 on the Eagles and instead rocks 81. Watching him reminds me so much of TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
