I'd be flat out shocked if Eagles draft Robinson at 10. I'd be very very surprised if Eagles draft Gibbs at 30. It's just not what they do

The Eagles will not want the 5th year option for a RB. It’s better used for a different position. The 1st round is out.

McCoy was pick #59. Sanders was pick #53. So they have gone fairly high for RB when needed. If Gibbs is their target expect a small trade down from #30 to get an extra pick.

Deontay Burnett with a nice TD grab!

That’s what the USFL/XFL should be, a bunch players that I half-recognize from the NFL preseason.

Burnett has NFL talent.  Nothing more than WR4/5 but he has the talent to contribute. It's a great opportunity for these guys to showcase what they can do rather than sitting on a practice squad.  I'm really enjoying it.

Trade down for Gibbs is what I think is very likely

Sure. Ideally, these leagues would be carrying players 54-90.

 

Can we not piz off the Eagles CB1?

Not asking too much.

Don't need Turd Pat on the roster.

There are other LB coaches amirite

I don't think they'll hire Patricia. It's one thing to ignore the players and pick the DC you like best but going out of your way to piss off a captain for a position coach is dumb

Sirianni’s highlighter in visor vs Patricia’s pencil in ear. Who comes out on top?

Don’t forget who the top CB is in next years draft.  I need to find a new cliche McKinstry

Supposedly Howie was ready to take CMC in the top half of the first round if he didn’t go to Carolina.

That’s my thinking with Gibbs… similar type of player in their pass catching ability, and pick 30 wouldn’t be as big of an investment.

Something to consider about the 5th year option is that if you hit big on a RB, it’s an extra year of his talent before you have to pay him or let him walk.

I’d also remind people that Howie paid McCoy a big time 2nd contract. If the guy is good enough, we will pay them. It’s just that Sanders isn’t special in any way.

If CJGJ & Epps both walk, god forbid, wonder what the likelihood of Eagles targeting Anotion Johnson from A&M is.

Kempski has made it seem like he doesn’t think CJGJ will be back

Don't even think they'd go in the 2nd round again considering Sanders is likely going to leave and looking back on that pick considering who was there and who they could've taken instead, I think they'd go another route with that pick. You never want a 2nd round pick to not get a second contract.

Rock, paper, scissors, highlighter, pencil, shoot!

Jon Gaines II seems to be a prospect that Stout might turn into something

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Eagles add a RB in free agency, or even after the original FA period.  RB and LB are the economy bin positions that Howie could add without messing up the comp picks too much.  
 

Adding a RB to pair with Gainwell before the draft would minimize a need at the position, and free the Eagles up to take a RB they want, not need.

Would you rather have the 5th year option on bijan or Barnett. Throwing it away on the wrong player inst any better than using it on a rb

The second contract is irrelevant. The draft pick is a sunk cost at that point and the 2nd contract is an entirely new opportunity cost.

Rb is an exception to that logic in the modern nfl where ten teams value rb enough to pay and the rest are fine with 2 or 3 of the  serviceable guys

This is true as well: you have to actually have a player available at a higher value position to be worth taking.

That said, there are going to be some good DB, OL and DL prospects available.

There's no guarantee that Richardson's passing will be good enough, fields hurts Lamar were all better passers in college.

Richardsons career completion % is 54.🤢

He needs a lot of work as a passer 

Also that style of offense has yet to have won a super bowl, Can Newton 0-1, Mike Vick 0-0, Lamar Jackson 0-0 Jalen Hurts 0-1☹️

Though to be fair Hurts Lamar and Newton were able to be competent passers as well as runners.

Fields has yet to become a competent passer, he's a RB playing QB still he was a better college passer than Richardson.

Malik Willis who was horrible as an actual QB had a better passing career in college.

It's not a guarantee Richardson will ever get to the point where his passing is good enough.

Richardson will bring enough to the table to get wins.  I'm, I guess, less concerned than you about Richardson's passing being good enough.  Richardson has top RAS all time, with almost perfect height and weight for a QB. I'll take that.  I can get enough from that top RAS guy at QB or standing next to Fields, taking a pitch, throwing or running, or taking the snap and pitching to Fields.   2 top RAS QBs with fast 40s, who are also heavy.  Both guys cranked out a lot of TDs last year on the ground.  Very long runs.  If you have a great runner at QB like that,  4.43 at 244, compared to Jalens 4.59 at 222,  you have him run a lot, and having him run a lot will mean first downs, points and wins.   You should be noticing that the Eagles went to the Super Bowl, and Jalens running was a key part of that.  QB surge is a notable play, but just overall,  Hurts was one of the top runners along with Lamar and Fields.  

Not sure we need to draft an RB, not in the early rounds anyway. We should pick up a FA like jamaal williams, combined with gainwell and sermon that should be more than enough running backs.

Use our high picks on real areas of need like DL/CB

Robinson or Gibbs are the only backs I’d think about pulling the trigger on in the 2nd. Robinson will be long gone by then, and I highly doubt Gibbs would be there when the Eagles are on the clock. Depending on how the board shakes out, they should have several good selections in the 3rd. Would love for them to trade back and pick up some additional mid round picks though. Really like Roschon Johnson, and think he will still be there late in the 3rd or 4th round.

agreed.

He's like a running back version of Jalen Hurts.   Roschon was a running QB in HS,  #2 dual threat QB, ESPN.  Then,  Texas had a bunch of injuries at rb in his freshman year and he was moved to RB.

His numbers weren't freakbeast, and I like to see that,  but he's so close, physically, to Jalen Hurts.  And we hear that the Eagles don't need a big back, because that's Jalen Hurts.  And it's true that Jalen Hurts can do that and has done that, and very well, but the Eagles might want to have another player, like a RB, who can do some of that running.  And Roschon is a near match, physically, and speed wise.  Hurts is the one who can squat 600, and there isn't evidence that Roschon can do that.  Same size, same runner as Jalen, plus was running QB and could be again.  Add that up, maybe that's worth the 94 pick, but definitely a day 3 pick. 

Hurts RAS is better,  the vert is much better,  broad a little better, Hurts a little bigger.  3/4th an inch taller, 3 pounds heavier.  Roschon a little faster.

RAS - Hurts v Roschon
