Yea that gives me all the confidence in the world to trade 3 first round picks and some more picks/players for Watson.  "might" makes it a lock. Makes me feel all warm and cozy inside.  Yea he wont force another trade in a year or two leaving us with nothing

Just did this draft on PFN:

16. Jordan Davis - DT Georgia

19. Daxton Hill - S Michigan

20. Kaiir Elam - CB Florida

51. Drake Jackson - DE USC

52. Christian Harris - LB Alabama

83. Quay Walker - LB Georgia

153. Jeremy Ruckert - TE Ohio State

161. Charleston Rambo - WR Miami

165. Cole Strange - OG Chattanooga

209. DeAngelo Malone - DE Western Kentucky

 

Assuming we can snag a vet WR in FA and letting Hurts/Minshew battle it out for the starting job, this defense gets drastically better, younger and faster. We get multiple players at each level. We add some OL depth and get a true TE 2 who can also block. Ideally I wouldve traded out for a first next season, but none of the trades seemed worth it to me.

I'll send this to Howie.

I rate this draft 3 Howies out of 5.  I am not sure about Elam or Hill in the first.  I like Harris.  I think Jordan Davis is a good pick but I wonder if there was a DE prospect available.  Rambo doesn't have size.  I would like them to get someone with size at WR.  I can't imagine they draft a TE but Ruckert is probably good value at that pick.

I mean pretty sure it’s why Charles robinson came out and said the landscape had changed. We can say whatever we want about the Eagles but the offensive line is massively better than anything he had in Houston. I would also argue the running a game is better then anything he’s had since he’s been in Houston. The only position on offense the Eagles are not as good as what the Texans had is at wide receiver. And yet he still has Smith who could be even better with Deshaun Watson.

The narrative that Deshaun Watson wouldn’t be even better here with all that or couldn’t elevate the offense even higher is erroneous.   

The real issues are can you morally deal with what happened off the field, is he going to prison and what’s it going to cost.  

Carr and keep most the picks if we are moving on

First I really don’t think the Raiders going to trade him. I actually think they’re going to try to build around him with a new GM and whoever the head coach is  

Second if they do trade him they’re going to ask for more than what the Eagles got with Carson wentz. He’s coming off a very good year in Vegas. He kept that team together considering everything that was going on in that organization. And got them to the playoffs. So the likelihood is you’re going to have a 5-6 team market for him and you may give up a 1st and potentially a conditional 1st. He’s not going to cheap in terms of draft assets in a trade. 

third if you are trading for him he’s not a bridge quarterback if you are paying that price in draft assets. Which means you have to give him an extension close to around $35-$40 million as he’s on the last year of his contract and how the market rate is. If you believe he’s the guy going forward and you want to pay him that then do it. I don’t think it’s gonna be worth it to do that

I have a hard time believing the Eagles will take a safety in the first.   Hamilton is probably going to be gone but it's also not a highly drafted position.  Dane Brugler had Brisker going at 56 to the Cowboys.   I don't think the team will suddenly change how they view the safety position.  My guess if they have all 3 picks they will target a DE or CB first.  The only exception might be if Hamilton falls to them.  

If Hamilton is there at 15 it’s the biggest No brainer they’ll ever have.

I think you mentioned him the other day. He is intriguing. I need to watch. 

I know I liked Varone McKinley as a guy who hasnt been  hyped as much as Brisker and Hill.

But I have really, really been liking the idea of Brisker. I feel like if he is available theres no reason to pass on him. 

I just don’t see them going S in the first.

This is what worries me about Jordan Davis. How could a giant with insane quickness not dominate on every play?

He’s not a 4i guy.

The Athletics newest mock draft

15. Philadelphia Eagles (from Miami) — Tyler Linderbaum, OC, Iowa

Obviously, this selection is based on the future of Jason Kelce, who just earned his fourth All-Pro nod. Even if he returns for his age 35 season in 2022, Kelce would be the ideal mentor for Linderbaum, who has exceptional quickness and a nasty streak to dominate defenders.

16. Philadelphia Eagles (from Indianapolis) — Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson

With Steven Nelson headed for free agency, cornerback could be a need for the Eagles this offseason. Booth is a terrific athlete and can make plays on the ball — the two most important traits when scouting the position. Booth also has above-average downhill skills to drive and blow up plays near the line of scrimmage.

19. Philadelphia Eagles — George Karlaftis, edge, Purdue

The Eagles’ defensive end depth chart will likely look wildly different next season, and Karlaftis would be a welcomed addition. The Purdue pass rusher doesn’t have elite length or twitch, but he is relentless and strong with hand work that is not only violent but also well-timed and strategic to defeat blockers.

51. Philadelphia Eagles — Chad Muma, LB, Wyoming

If they pulled this off, I’d have to call my doctor because there’s no way that erection would be gone in 4 hours.

Solid backer. Similar to Logan Wilson in many ways, not just the alma mater.

There is nothing wrong with adding strength to strength. Drafting Linderbaum or Ekwonu, then plugging them in at RG for a decade would be nice. That being said, the Eagles have a history of finding quality linemen later in the draft.

Linderbaum is a pure C.

Any draft with Ridder in it will make me vomit. Wouldnt touch him no matter were it is in the draft.  Not a believer in Ojabo either

Feel free to show us yours. That draft addresses a vast majority of our needs. Ridder is far less of a project in R2 than Hurts was. And Ojabo is an athletic freak. After Hutchison, Thibodeaux, and Karlaftis he’s by the far the best option at EDGE.

Cosell's main points are on... point.

#1 does not naturally see the field particularly well

#2 tends to be a beat late with a lot of throws

#3 very reactive to pressure and breaks down in the pocket and looks to leave when there's not really pressure by NFL standards

#4 ball placement is a week to week and even a play to play issue

 

lol, Caplan asked Cosell if Hurts can get better with anticipation and timing and Cosell basically says its not impossible but highly unlikely.

 He didn’t pull any punches on Hurts improvement from year one through this season, "very minimal”. Sheesh.  
          
Cosell did throw Mosher off, at the same time I almost drove my car in a ditch, what if the Eagles are going to move forward with this Baltimore (college) offense?  Ugh! 

Cosell was very complimentary towards Smith, said he was better than he thought he would be in his rookie year, and has no trouble beating man coverage. 

He didn’t love Nelson since Gannon has mostly been a cover 1 man defense since week 8 or 9, but he liked Epps, he has improved and that’s why he was in single coverage with Gronk.  He didn’t say Epps was perfect just getting better.

Doesn't surprise me. He's going to be an NFL OC or HC at some point in the near future... This is a big gamble though if he is offered the job.

McCown is just going to jump straight to HC?   The Texans are an enigma.

Howie has made it clear he considers this a rebuilding team. Not fooled by the playoff run.

So I don't see him trading for a veteran QB in a win now move.

The only trade option would be Watson. He’s young. It’s a win now (after a suspension anyway) and win in the future move.

This would be great but no chance in hell Booth and Karlaftis are available at 16 and 19.  Especially with the weak QB class.  Both those guys are potential top 10 picks.

You think they’ll take JJAW for him? lol

Not sure I think it will happen, but he would be a perfect fit next to DeVonta.

Tall, physical, and fast. Would cost us a 1st.

Reagor, JJaw, Hurts, a first and Dillard for Wilson and Metcalf.

Let's go Howie!

QB class is feeling very 2014ish to me. One guy gets overdrafted in the top 5 (Bortles), a couple majorly flawed who knows guys go mid-to-late first (Manziel, Bridgewater), the value emerges in the 2nd (Carr, Garoppolo to a lesser extent).

Concern with him was whether the neck would hold up in the 2nd contract, not the 1st. Seahawks would be smart to move him for a big haul if they can.
