He’s a great captain for our defense. I hope he gets healthy and believe he will also increase the probability that Jordan Davis becomes a dominant player for us.

Agreed, only problem, the Dcord......after one season, we still don't know his exact scheme. With this draft, and free agency so far...I'm assuming it's going to be about pressure from the LB spots. A hybrid 3/4 kind of thing.

With a nose tackle like Davis along with the addition of Reddick, maybe we’ll be running a 3/4 with a line of Cox, Jordan and Hargreves with Milton Williams rotating in for Cox or Hargreaves, especially on passing downs.

Yup. Hopefully with Cox on the outside in a 3/4 style, he won't have to deal with constant double teams, and he'll remain fresh. With BG coming back as well...this defense is shaping up to be pretty sweet in the box .let's get some viable depth in the secondary tomorrow and a possible Honey Badger....this D is going to be good.

Because I’ll be pissed if Hassan Reddick spends much time playing as an off the ball linebacker. Now that's a question for Gannon. Passing downs I imagine we'll see some combination of BG, Sweat, Barnet on the edges and Reddick roaming. He's listed as an SLB on the depth chart.
April 30, 20224 yr Sounds like all the injury reports were bull. If he's medically ready to go it's a home run of a pick. I just hope it's not one of those Eagles medical issues where they try to push it off and then need surgery later.

People are scared of the size and his pec injury, but totally worth taking a chance on him in the 3rd round. The guy many of us wanted in the 2nd is now an Eagle. Sure, not drafting a DB early is tough to see but, but they definitely improved the front seven in a big way in Day 1 and 2 Adding Reddick, White, Davis and Dean to this front 7 is a HUGE improvement on last year. I expect sack numbers to rise quite a bit. 2 hours ago, vaff said: I think not drafting a CB in the first round is more of a fluke, because they’ve always valued the position. Traded for Slay, spent big money on several corners, etc. But I think they just don’t value safety as a position to choose in the first round. Which is odd given how valuable Dawkins and Jenkins were for the franchise. And how were Dawkins and Jenkins acquired?

April 30, 20224 yr I can't believe we got him in the 3rd. There may be injury concerns but if he can be healthy we might have our alpha LBer this defense desperately needed for a long time.

Although we may not have a fourth round pick so that's a problem. On face value there's tremendous value with this pick. I love it in fact. Dean was talked about as a first round pick. Now the fact he's fallen to the third is a little concerning. I'm guessing that's due to being undersized? But it's still great value.

I saw a tweet where it said independent doctors said the injury was not as serious which is good to hear.
April 30, 20224 yr Arguably the steal of the draft...should have been a first round pick. Hope the injury is nothing like has been stated.

April 30, 20224 yr Just watching the interview he said he’s ready to go for training camp so not injured ?

April 30, 20224 yr Depressed at the lack of secondary taken, but heck of a pick and the right pick in the third. Should be a huge upgrade to our D, having two linebackers in White and Dean who can actually run, cover and make plays. No excuses for Gannon giving up 80% completion rates anymore.

Only had 3 picks so far in a very deep defensive draft. We got 3 absolute studs and traded for a franchise WR to complement our current franchise WR. What did you expect with 3 picks? Plus I'm sure Howie is not done with FAs and trades.
