Back to some tall TE, fast LB or other "can't miss" dude we are never going to draft

Hey there’s the possibility that in that 2023 mocks that I’m gonna trade back and have zero first rounders and like 20 picks in the second and third round

Hell no. 

We have arguably the best OL coach in the league. He's able to take late round OL and make them competent starters. Unless we're getting value (ex: a 1st round pick in Dickerson falling into RD2), pass.

DL or DBs.

I think a guy that is a bit under the radar and is already int the team is Kayode owasika.

He played tackle in college but was moved to guard, he's 6'5" listed at 315 and has good feet.

I think he's going to compete for the roster next year and if Anything could push Opeta off possibly push for some PT.

They dont proscute drug crimes, or theft, or looting, and any other violent crimes under a certain tier. 

They also dont have enough people to clean up the poo, so no, they dont really clean up the poo. 

It really feels like you've been lobbying for a job you'd be perfect for.  I'll make some calls.

It is what it is, Watson gives us the best QB in the NFC for years to come. If he gives Howie a hard time from time to time, so be it.

Unless he gets arrested or kicked out of the League or otherwise becomes such a hot button that it impacts the marketability of the team.

The Eagles will do their due-diligence, if they trade for him it's clear they are good with him off the field.

some facts. 

50% of inmates(meaning something you've done actually warranted jail time) will be back in jail within 5 years of being released. 

70% of inmates under 25 will end up back in jail. 16% of over 60 will end up back in  jail(makes sense)

70% of inmates with  crimes convictions with guns are likely to go back to jail 

32% of rearrest are from violent crimes on their 1st conviction

Drug Trafficking was 23% and Larceny was 17%. 

 

End of the day, scumbags are gonna scumbag and you need stiffer Penalties  . 

The whole point of sending someone to jail/prison should be rehabilitation. This is not a goal for the US prison system. Many other countries don't have life sentences, or if someone gets a life sentence it is not truly for their entire life like it is in the US. You don't see those countries burning down because of lighter sentences, they actually try and invest in rehabilitation.

I have to stop myself from trading down so much in the Pro Football Network simulation. I just ended up with 7 picks in the first four rounds, plus:

I think everyone should have understood Brooks was going to retire and/or be designated as a post June 1 when he didn't return in the second half of the season.  If Kelce retires that leaves the Eagles with an OL for 2022 and beyond of:

Johnson-Driscoll-Seumalo-Dickerson-Mailata.  (Flip C and LG if you like)  Herbig is RFA.

Opeta, Dillard, Clark, Anderson, Awosika, Toth as depth for now.  Have to think Howie will trade Dillard to give him a chance to start elsewhere.  

Going from RT to LT messed with my head more than I'd like to admit lol

Is Seumalo the backup C? I thought he was the backup LG? Or was he one of those guys we have that can play multiple spots?

Just say NO to Russell Wilson.

Not that I'm necessarily advocating for Russell Wilson (because I think his wife will push him toward NY or LV), but is it because you think he's too expensive, too old and declining, the product of a SEA system, or just don't think his upside was ever really that good?

Seumalo when drafted was viewed as someone in line to take over for Kelce. I'd rather have him at C than Dickerson.

A guy I really like as a replacement to Kelce is Dylan Parham from Memphis. He's undersized but a great athlete and technician.

A year under Kelce and Stoutland can do wonders for him. Can probably be had for a 3rd or 4th rounder.

 

I don’t know - do look for a center-only unicorn or go out and find Dickerson 2.0 and stick’em in the middle? You lose some of the outside runs, but pass protection and the IZ runs are more dependable.

Too expensive, too old and declining. We are still 2 seasons away from potentially being truly relevant. That puts Wilson at 36ish. He also hampers our ability to build the rest of the roster. I'm a Badger fan, I LOVED him coming out and wanted him badly in 2012...but it's been too long. 4-5 years ago? In a heartbeat.

Wrong!!!!!   Don’t put words in my mouth. 

I am not saying they are your words, but most likely how it plays out.

@HazletonEagle have you had a chance to look at the RB from Michigan? Hassan Haskins? 

33 minutes ago, TorontoEagle said:

Would you be comfortable with Green and Linderbaum being taken in the first? Especially if Kelce retires?

Fine with Linderbaum, there will be some good guard types in round 2 we can target rather than Green in round 1. They may want to look at FA for guard or center since they should have some decent money this FA period.

I dont think you can compare other countries crimes, or policies to America. 

Look at Sweden,  It's gorgeous(went there in 2011), low crime, soft laws and truly believe in Rehab.

They also have a ridiculous amount of natural rescourse(that theyre allowed to use) and only 10 million people and a ridiculous tax rate. 

And I disagree that all Jail/Prison should be about rehab. Theres a ton of cases where jail/Prison should be used to keep the offender away from other people for a long long time, if not forever. 

Sorry what does this mean exactly? Are you saying America is lacking in natural resources? 

I wonder how long until Kelce says that he'll keep playing or decide to retire. I assume he'll let Howie, Lurie, and Nick know before the draft

We already have the generic IOL replacement in Isaac ready to go, Dylan gives us a shot at a replacement in the Kelce mold at a relatively reasonable cost. Worth a shot IMO.

It's a long offseason and you guys are just blowing through peak offseason blog topics in a few hours.

No one ever gets convicted of a crime they didn't commit. It sounds like jail encourages more bad behavior than it fixes and that people come out of it less empathetic and more inclined to commit crime.

Don't worry.  We need to knock these discussions out so we can focus on the QB discussion after Howie makes a trade.
