D-Shiznit Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 The Saints pick gives us a plausible shot at the best Defensive prospect in living memory - Will Anderson Jr. No way am I giving up that chance for Burns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwinavega Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I don't follow college football, so had to look Anderson up. He's being very highly hyped, expected to be the first non-QB off the board at pick #3 (caveat that it's a long way away). Will the Saints be picking so high? I doubt it, and I think it would cost a lot to move up to three when a player like him is available. Still, if he is that good - in Howie, I trust. For reference, here's an assessment of him I found https://www.eatdrinkandsleepfootball.com/nfl-draft-prospects/alabama-crimson-tide/will-anderson.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely a great move for them if they can make it through the entire season and get healthy for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just slipped my mind that the Dolphins lost their pick. And I try to pay as much attention as I can but I do have other things to do than study the Eagles and football. It was just an over-reactive, smart-ass comment and I'm not sure why you're defending it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point if Roseman goes for it I’ll expect it to be good. I doubt we would give up the Saints pick for anyone though. DE is the most important position to upgrade. We added Reddick but still a premier pass rusher would probably help us most at this point. I can tell you not to worry about Burns. The Eagles rarely ever get the guy people are linking them to. Whoever the Eagles get we don’t know his name yet and he won’t cost any of the first round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 most memorable evaluation quotes I heard about him was from Kiper when he said: He's Micah Parsons except he's bigger, stronger, more explosive, more skilled, and with A+ character and leadership traits. He's the best overall draft prospect since Calvin Johnson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the teams who are hirer than them also played that team and they’re also getting way more turnovers than they did last year due to pressure. Graham didn’t sack Rush the other day, but his hit on the quarterback definitely caused that ball to be an interception instead of a touchdown. I don’t see how Howie goes from thinking all the team needs is a rotational guy like Barnett to thinking he needs to break the bank for an elite rusher. It maybe what the fans want, but I don’t think the Eagles see it that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider it for our own '23 pick coupled with 2x non-first picks between '23 and '24. Otherwise, Bears are likely looking at a 5th or so for Quinn. Taking a punt there might be the more viable short-term solution. Still, Burns on this D with our Saints pick intact would be sexual. I think it's fair to say the overriding thought round these parts is that the Saints pick is completely off limits whatever the case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penn7980 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 If they trade for a DE by deadline, it is best for someone who can fit in the rotation and can contribute this season and next. Go with the draft in the off season to add someone for long-term and as a foundation for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devaster Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Either way - we shouldn't fall in love our with our future draft picks. Those are always a crapshoot. Sending them to another team for tangible value and elite play is the sensible thing to do. Doesn't always work out, but moves like that are best made when the team is on the cusp and is one position away from solidfying a championship. There is no reason to focus on the future too much because draft picks are incredibly hit or miss, players retire, players get older and their play drops off, and players explore FA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
