Friday night. Last year when they got their center, and the 07 trade when we traded 10 spots out of the first round and they took Anthony Spencer.

The Eagles swapped picks with the Cowboys, allowing the Cowboys to move from 25 to 22 to select tight end David LaFleur. At the time, they made a big deal out of the fact that the negotiations on the trade were handled by Lurie and Jones directly because they had a good relationship. Fortunately LaFleur never amounted to much, so it wasn't really a big deal.

It’s not my spin. Also Toney is an inch shorter but 30+ pounds heavier than Smith and a projected first rounder. He’s built like a football player not a middle schooler. Doesn’t mean anything, but Smith is far and away the "smaller” guy. DG has had his struggles, but he probably extracted more value out of this draft than any GM when you consider quality of picks + future value.

I guess in this case he’s talking about DG, but that’s an odd way of phrasing it. Very unclear, especially when DG has never recognized the value of trading back until this year.

DG hasn't traded back until this year then he trades back twice.

They missed out and traded down and panicked and reached for a position they didn’t need to draft. Howie sucks. Gettlemen sucks more. I hate the idea of taking a WR in round 1 when it’s not a glaring weakness (I wanted Slater) but pretty much every mock I read had him pegged as a first rounder. I actually don’t think DG panicked at all. In fact it was the opposite. It seems like they wanted Smith. When he wasn’t there they stuck to their board, traded back and collected two premium picks. Panicking would have been selecting Toney at 11. Getting him at 20 was savvy. DG has made some mistakes, but anyway you slice it, he’s had a really good off season. Now he needs Jones to play well. If not, he’s gone.

Not really, all consolidated on one site. 35 alone first round mocks on the first page. https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/players/2021/kadarius-toney Pauline, Casserly and Schrager all had him in the 1st.
