However, cant get the thought out of my mind that Eagles could've probably had Cooper for a 3rd, both guys are around similar level, ability wise and kept the 1st round pick... No way man. AJ is only 24 and on a different level. Look at what he accomplished with a run heavy offense. Cooper is injury prone and dissappears when things aren't going his way. Easily our best WR since T.O.

He might be the best player Howie has added full stop. Its a monster trade.

May 1, 20223 yr I swear some people complain because they think complaining makes them look smart. There is NOTHING to complain about with this move. The Eagles needed a WR to complement Smith and they got one of the best, young talents out there. I have said this before and I will say it again, when it comes to drafting, the WR has been an ORGANIZATIONAL blind spot. This goes far beyond Howie. They have drafted 65 WRs in the history of the franchise and only five WR really have panned out - Tommy McDonald, Harold Carmichael, Mike Quick, Fred Barnett, and DeSean Jackson. Even with that said, Fred Barnett and DeSean Jackson were good, but never really great. They have always done better when they brought a WR in from the outside. Alshon,TO, Fryer, etc. NOTE: Even though they did draft Cris Carter, I did not include him on this list since they cut him and he did nothing here.

Maclin was pretty good too lol but Jesus 1 out of every 13 work out...let's just keep snagging every one else's wide outs @_@
May 1, 20223 yr IMO, the AJ Brown hype train is now running out of control. He's not nearly as good as everyone is saying.

He's a clear upgrade and should be a longer term solution, but we still don't know if Hurts can get him the ball. His best game is over the middle and that's not a strong point for Hurts.

Not sure why some are so pissy about it This draft has been a good one. The trade for Brown caused my "hate meter" for Howie to break. I mean, I LOVE this move, I love the shockwave it sent through EVERYONE, and he didn't give up too much to get it done. His ego got the rubby rub he likes by dropping everyone's jaws. Everybody is happy, except the dull minded people who think it is a bad deal. 👍🏻

Like I said before every single team you mentioned that doesn’t trade picks has in fact traded picks to improve their teams. The one you forgot to list the ravens in fact traded with the eagles to get their mvp qb like 3 years ago

I've seen many excellent players reach FA that are had for very good prices, sorry but I won't be searching for them to prove my point. I seem to recall free agency/trades working pretty well for the eagles only Super Bowl. Or how about the rams just this year. The patriots also heavily use free agency and trades and have done pretty well for themselves if I do say so myself. Every contract in first week of free agency is bloated. However you can get steals weeks later and before/after draft but most of the time it’s more depth then star players so if course you can get Nelson for 5 mil but your not getting super stars for that price.

We have the 29th and 32nd ranked receivers in yards with 10 total touchdowns between them last year. Is that awful? Absolutely not. I would say we have a pretty good set up with Goedert coming in 38th. I wouldn't consider either of them top 10, but we are paying one I believe 4th most in the league. I respect they are both in run offenses, but unless the quarterback become 2x the QB he was last year, I don't expect huge spikes in either ones production because they will be splitting those receptions. I'm happy to have AJ Brown on this team, but he is getting thrown into the stratosphere, and I don't feel the hype matches the production at the moment.
