You keep posting the same unrealistic scenario.  You are never moving up to 2 for 15 and 19.  But even that's more realistic than getting a future 1, a 2nd, and two other picks for moving from 16 to 18.

No kidding dude, it’s a hypothetical but the positions hold true as to what should be valued for our team: DL, CB, S, LB, G. Everything else is icing on the cake. I can’t help PFF’s awful trade algorithm. Lol

My two goals for the first round are an edge rusher and acquiring a 2023 1st.  I'm pretty flexible within reason otherwise but the failure to do those two will be a disappointment.

His combine has the potential to move him up exponentially.

I understand that but how does that help show what the Eagles can/should be doing?  I mean you created a depth chart from it.  It's not a hypothetical because a hypothetical should be hypothetically possible.

Completely agreed. I’ll go a step further. Absent a ridiculous drop of a Kyle Hamilton, I feel we need to get a DE, a CB and a trade down to gain a 2023. We’re on the same page there.

Hence why I called it "my dream.”  If anything remotely close like that were to happen, I’d probably drop dead of an aneurysm.

So I didn't watch the Pro Bowl, saw some highlights.  Were there any to the ground tackles?

I didn't watch either.  They really should just make it a flag football game, no pads or helmets.  Would be more entertaining.

My only hope past that is that later on we finally take the guys that everyone is shocked is still there.  Like a Trey Smith last year.  Usually those guys fall because of medicals but really, I'd take four years of good play from a mid to late round pick over 10 years of bad play.

Get those 3 defensive players in the first would definitely give Gannon a little more to work with.

If Hamilton drops that far and Howie pases on him I may burn something down.

Then to get a LB in the first as well would be bizarro world as eagles don't draft safeties and LBs in the first.

Not a big fan of stingley rather get a DL.

 

 

kinda like blm did with those cities

Velus Jones was 2nd in FBS on PR average last year. 15.1 yards on 18 returns. And he averaged 27.3 on 23 kick returns.

The NFL is between a rock and a hard place with the pro-bowl.  Putting together a watchable game just creates an unacceptable injury risk.

For some of the crazier fans who obsess over individual players, it’s probably better to cancel the game altogether.  A flag football game could be interesting.  Or skills competitions like they used to have.  A 40 yard dash (didn’t they do that?).  Longest throw for the QBs.  Hit some moving targets.  Have the OL play a flag football game.  Or film them all playing each other in madden.  

It’s not easy to create a watchable all-star football product.  The other major sports are far more conducive to it.

Right. They were fiery but mostly peaceful.

I loved Chark in the draft, love him in FA too...but I think he only makes sense if we bring in a win-now QB.  Otherwise, I'd rather draft a rookie with a longer runway to the horizon.

I tend to agree but depends on the cost

rather draft a kid like watson from ndsu and get 3-4 years on the cheap

Not sure if you guys heard but we lost one of our own. @Dawkins 20 passed away.

I miss the old QB challenge competition.   

A flag football game could be entertaining, especially without pads and helmets where guys can play faster.  They could also make the quarters shorter like 10 minutes or maybe first team to score 35.

The way the Pro Bowl is now is such a waste of time.

Never had much interaction with him, but always tough to see one of our people go. Especially with 3 young kids. I’d definitely like to help out

If you think mccown is going to be a great coach and you truly believe that then just hire him. It feels like basically hired Smith but didnt actually love him as HC. Feels like in 2 years he likely gets fired by the Texans and they eventually hire mccown. 

Hmm... in Lovie's last HC job in the NFL, wasnt he fired to promote the OC.

 

Oh well, at least Lovie knows defense.

Who is in charge of the EMB collection and can they be trusted more than the average one of us?

There’s a couple people organizing something in that thread he quoted a post from. I reached out to one of them about 10 min ago

Id be very happy with Metchie. But the top guys I think maybe we can hope for in round 2 are Pickens and Bell. Id take them over Metchie.

I might even like to take Pickens in round 1.

I’m weirdly ok with taking a WR in the 1st again. Burks/Williams/Olave/Wilson id be cool with. Prefer defense but kind of like Dickerson last year I could talk myself into it. Don’t know much about Pickens yet

I would actually trust Paco and Binky if you go that route rather than sending directly to the funeral home.
