And 1st round remains where you can pick the most effective RB's that have the longest careers. You absolutely do not need a 1st round RB, even more so with the long list of needs at other positions. The Eagles led the NFL in rushing last year, of course Hurts is a contributor to that. But RB is an easy position to replace and their shelf life isn't usually that long so value wise it's better to draft in later rounds. They could add someone like Brian Robinson, Hassan Haskins or others. They have 3 picks in the 5th round which would be a good round to add a RB to the mix of who they have.
April 26, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, MidMoFo said: Agreed. Turner I think could play right away. Jelani Woods has the potential to be a top 3 TE in the league, but would have to develop into it. He started college as a QB and moved to TE late. At 6’7”, 260 lbs athletically he tested with similar numbers to Kyle Pitts… Turner's hands are what catches my eyes. Man bullies and then just grabs everything with crazy strong hands. Strong as hell too. Funny to watch people try to tackle him and he just runs through it

The only Qb in this draft I have a late 1st rd grade on would be Corral. I like Willis, but a 3 yr project is not worth a 1st rdr. A fringe starter is better than the non starter we have starting now.

April 26, 20223 yr Pickett is light years ahead of Hurts. First, he's got accuracy and consistently has accuracy. He actually can read defenses. He throws with anticipation. He has a better arm. He can actually read progressions instead of just 1. Not to mention he's allusive and accurate on the run. I don't get the negativity around him. It's like he's too good so let's make ish up. He has no upside! Well that's because he's already light years ahead of most prospects. He has small hands. Yeah but he has a big johnson. He tries too much hero ball. I agree he should throw it away sometimes.
April 27, 20223 yr My Eagles targets of my guys who I like that no one is talking about . QB Desmond Ridder Cincinnati , Aqueel Glass Alabama A&M, Cole Johnson James Madison RB Tyler Badie Missouri 5-8 197 4.42 , Jerome Ford Cincinnati 5-11 218 4.45 , Snoop Connor 5-9 215 4.50 , Tyrion Davis Price 6-0 227 4.54 LSU WR David Bell WR Purdue 6-2 206 4.51 , Erik Ezukanma Texas A&M 6-2 218 4.48 Danny Gray. SMU 6-0 191 4.41 Calvin Austin 3rd 5-7 177 4.39 Memphis Jalen Tolbert South Alabama 6-2 195 4.49 That’s just for the main on offense and I like Isiah Likely as a really good day 3 option for our number two spot. Out of all of the WRs I truly like David Bell as the most ready WR in the draft. He has natural route running ability, the most consistent hands ,”and reliable. He may not be the best WR but he will be a very good player for a long time . He and the Reaper would be perfect complements to one another and Quez can continue to be a deep threat. The quickest and one of the most underrated players in the draft also is Danny Gray. He reminds me so much of a Steeler type receiver they always draft. Antonio Brown Emmanuel Sanders, Santonio Holmes , Mike Wallace, Dionte Johnson. A tad undersized but elite footwork and natural playmaking and separation skills. Danny will be a dangerous weapon and like I said don’t be surprised if the Steelers were the ones to draft him. Hopefully we will first . Snoop Connor has great lateral quickness and once he makes his cut to head downhill he is a load to take down. He is a excellent complement to Miles , Gainwell, and Boston. He gives them the physcal presence needed to take control of games . Aqueel Glass reminds me so much of A Poormans Daunte Culpepper and getting that type of talent in the 6,7 th round is a luxury pick for us so we can develop and get his throwing motion tightened up. Like Byron he has a elongated throwing motion that could cause him to get sacked more so than the average NFL Qb. However he has all the tools to develop into a very good backup in the league Smoke Monday is by far one of my favorite players because he creates TDS on special teams and defense. He is a natural playmaker and his instincts make him extremely dangerous. I would love to se is draft him somewhere late day 2 or early day 3

April 27, 20223 yr Less than 48 hours before the day I wait for all year...that Howie always screws up.

I think Howie nails the draft this year and parlays it with more success with the added draft capital he’s already loaded up for next year. 3-4 years from now we’re going to look back at the drafts last year, this year and next year as when the Philadelphia Eagles franchise put it all together to take the NFC least back to the NFC Beast!!! 🙏🙏🙏
April 28, 20223 yr This is gonna be a tricky draft without easy "no brainer" picks so of course Howie is going to screw this up again.

Wish I could remember the name of the guy talking about the stats on the radio the other day (Portland 1080) or their website, but they tracked the last decade of starts by players versus round they were drafted. As well as how long they stuck around with a team or started for others teams that didn't draft them. The prevailing thought these days is RB is devalued and RB's are always available later in the draft. But the statistics show that 1st round RB's have longer careers and are worth their draft position for the most part. While 2nd and 3rd round RB's are largely busts. And the late round guys have incredibly short career averages (less than a season probably). Was really interesting, but it bucks a lot of the trends you hear mentioned all the time in this current era. And that probably holds for most positions.

Even if that's true about individuals, it's simply much easier to replace a RB with a guy in a mid round than it is to hit on a more premium need position like corner, WR, DE, etc. Gainwell was a 5th round pick, stepped in and contributed right away. What have these 1st round RBs meant to their teams? The Cowboys with Zeke haven't done anything. A RB will get drafted in the 1st on occasion but it's not the late 80s/early 90s anymore. You don't need a premium RB, you don't need a "big back" or a FB anymore. The game has changed, and teams use rotation of RBs anyway. The 1st round you want premium positions like corner, DE, QB, WR.

A legit edge rusher, a future DT to replace cox, a safety. And then on offense I want another Stud WR. I predict Howie will fail miserably on all of that and we’ll end up with a an injury prone left guard, some division III WR, another stretch at RB, and he will ignore safety all together. I want to see one of his scouts throat punch him on live TV when he pulls that BS he pulled last year. Got two of these things so far. Pretty sure Mathieu is an eagle just waiting to see how the draft goes before inking his contract so that will take care of safety. looking good so far

All my players have been picked, so, here's a bunch more for today. mostly written for the Ravens, as they have more picks left. *********** Daniel Faalele - Massive Right Tackle / Size Weapon 6'9 380 is massive. It's the 4th round, he provides enough value as someone who definitely would be able to do a number of things extremely well because he is so huge. If he was used as a Split End, split out wide, he would present a matchup difficulty. But he's a massive right tackle. Perhaps Orlando Brown Jr. https://ras.football/ras-compare/?&p1=20981&p2=16815&pos=OT Could he block a kick? 6'9 380 bullrush the center, jump and block the kick? Can he be tackled? By one person? By any person? Big guys who are trying to run fast can be knocked off balance, and tackled. If the goal isn't to run as fast as possible, but to just not be tackled, while moving forward, someone that big should be difficult to tackle. Rugby, which Faalele played, contains a lot of pitches. So, get it to Faalele, have him drag some players a few yards, then pitch to a super fast player, a running QB perhaps? Or these 2 guys. Tariq Woolen - Superfast, tall CB/WR 4.26 40, 6'4. You don't see guys as tall as 6'4 run as fast as 4.26. Faalele catches a short pass from the TE position and runs, slowly and in good balance, toward the sideline, and Woolen takes the pitch from Faalele and runs for a TD. Woolen was a WR for 2 years before switching to CB. Woolen seems to have similar athleticism to DK Metcalf, perhaps he would be good at covering Metcalf? Metcalf is tall, fast with great jumps, explosiveness. Both don't have good agility, 3 cone, 20 shuttle. https://ras.football/ras-compare/?&p1=14278&p2=21070&pos=WR Both very fast and explosive. Woolen has mediocre agility, and lacking in the bench, but his agility isn't as bad as Metcalfs was. But it doesn't seem to have hurt Metcalf. Zyon McCollum - 10/10 RAS CB. https://ras.football/ras-information/?PlayerID=21142 fast 4.33 and superquick/agile. 6.48 3 cone and 3.94 20 shuttle. HERO Sports all-America first team ...

Kevin Austin - 9.94 RAS WR from Notre Dame Austin and Boykin have very similar numbers https://ras.football/ras-compare/?&p1=21402&p2=19621&pos=WR huge jumps, top speed and quickness, but without 4.3. Austin has a 1.48 10 split, better than Boykin. Austin ran the ball in high school. 6'2 200. Zander Horvath = 9.83 RAS Big RB from Purdue. https://ras.football/ras-information/?PlayerID=21191 228 pound RB with a 4.61 40. 6.75 3 cone is good for a 228 pound RB. 31 bench is strong. Sufficiently fast and quite strong and also big. Teams that want a big running back. 9.83 RAS isn't exactly freakbeast, but the 31 bench is close to that. Some teams might lack a big back. https://ras.football/ras-compare/?&p1=21191&p2=12702&pos=RB compare Horvath to Jordan Howard. Howard was 6.26 RAS, Horvath 9.83 RAS. Horvath is borderline freakbeast 31 bench, 6.75 3 cone, 1.57 10 / 2.58 20 at 228. Big, strong, powerful, agile, gets to top speed quickly, but isn't blazing fast, but acceptably fast.

I left Davis off purposely...I didn't have a "man crush" on him. I think he's a very good pick, and he is someone I thought the Eagles would be targeting. There were numerous players throughout the draft I would have been happy with even if they weren't on my man-crush list. I was basing many of them on where I thought we could probably get them in the draft as well. For example, Gardner and Hamilton were my 2 main guys for our highest pick (including trade up), then guys like Cine, Hill, Lloyd, Karlaftis were guys I liked at either 18 or trading back in the first. Cross is someone I really liked for the 3rd round, etc etc. But hell, they didn't take any of "my guys", lol. That's ok, I thought the draft turned out extremely well.
