Stacked RB class. Likely got a nice NIL deal. 

Still feels like a bad decision.

It's a weird year for prospects.  Players like Skoronski are in a lot of people's top 10 but he has, reportedly, 32 inch arms which would be short for a Guard let alone an OT.  In any other year, he would seem to be a later first or second.  Some people think Kelee Ringo is great but some people think he's a 3rd round talent because he lacks agility to stay with receivers.  Bresee is the same.  I think there's the most depth at DE but even there it's probably Anderson, Murphy and Foskey that are sure to have 1st round grades.  

I don't know that we will have a good sense of how teams see it this year aside from QB.  I am definitely ok with them trading down because I think volume in this draft is probably the better approach.  

Looking at the OTs who went in last year's draft, I think Skoronski is at best 4th off the board of those if he were in last year's class. This could change, but coming fresh off the college season, I don't see DL, CB, or OT who will be there at 10 who will be a guy the Eagles can't miss. And if they could trade down into the 20's and pick up a 2024 1st, I don't see any way Howie passes in that. The Eagles have a lot of free agents this year, and unless you can get a blue chipper, I think Howie's gonna want lots of picks to supplement the talent that leaves. And also gives them flexibility going forward.

Not a fan of getting trucked by a backup QB for a TD

Webb has about 5 inches and what looked like 40 lbs on Blankenship not to mention that he was going full speed.  He's played well otherwise and has been a sure tackler.

Backup QB who is 6'5" and weighs 225 pounds with a full head of steam.  It happens.

I didn't think about a practice kick. I was wondering wtf he was doing last night lol

That & I wonder what feedback he got back about his draft range. It’s a stacked RB class. Not a bad idea to try next years class instead, don’t think there’s a Bijan/Gibbs type of prospect in next years class.

This always bothers me. Is it the Air time? Music, Gameboy, napping, whatever, it's not like they're doing gassers up and down the aisle...

 Different from going to LA or Frisco, for instance?

The logistics are the same, 2hrs or 6 hrs. Fly, land, checkin, practice, meetings, PLAY.

What does the flight time have to do with it?

Time zones seem to be the bigger issue... but maybe there's something about the pressure differences, etc.  Less oxygen in the blood... 🤷‍♂️.  Sort of a reverse hyperbaric chamber?

While we're on the subject of the draft, I'll throw out another early prediction: I don't think Levis goes in the first round. I saw him more as this college season went on and I just don't see it with him at all. And just like in last year's draft, the QBs were mocked to go really high and ended up falling, I don't think a team is going to feel comfortable taking him in the first round.

Yeah... RBs have such a limited earning potential.  The treads on the tires don't really care if its NCAA or NFL players banging on them.

@downundermike you're right this looks like the worst defense in history

I did not say the worst defense in history, I said worst in the league, this year.

They finished dead last in yards allowed, and 30th in points allowed.

I've thought the same thing but some people just don't cope well with flying and daily pattern disruptions. Others - me included - it doesn't impact much unless there are more than 6 time zones or so. If there are more European or worse Far Eastern games, travel could become a real issue.

Probably no worse than flying to Denver. I think cabin altitudes run around 6000 feet on most airliners. Humidity on the other hand - I seem to recall cabin humidity around 10% so maybe similar to Phoenx? Or lower? Dunno about that.

Can Howie use PFF site for the upcoming draft?

Yes. The NFL should do what’s right and take away the Raiders 1st round pick in the upcoming draft 👀

Is it just me or has Mailata not been as great this season. Has he been dealing with an injury?
