Crap. I completely forgot about this. Is it compensatory?

Its 2 picks and they are at the end of round 3.

Honestly, considering compensatory picks are tradeable now, that's wild - players like Amari Cooper for example was only worth a 5.

Against never said that. So spare me the strawman. Only ever argued its a bad idea …of which howie has done many.

are you now backing off thats its a good idea? Which you obviously argued to retreat to a position that its just that Howie would do it? Instead of should?

Lol. go read my initial response to you. It’s my initial post to you on this. Then you went into a wormhole of different response to it and i replied back with different response and hypotheticals to it. go back and read what i wrote. My first post is there saying what I’ve said now

I’m not against it depending on what position they are getting and who the player was. Again i asked you a hypothetical about getting prime Aaron donald for 30th pick, would you do to? I’m 100% doing that cause it’s a position of need, premium position and he’s a game changer for the 30th pick.

Did howie trade a first for Minkah?

safety is a premium position? I’ve been saying premium player at a premium position 

Premium position in my mind (im guessing howie’s as well based on organizational philosophy) in todays nfl is OT, Qb, wide receiver, pass rusher and interior DLineman who can pass rush (corner i think it would depend. I’m not sure they think it is a premium position). I don’t think he valued safety enough to give up a first even if you consider Fitzpatrick a premium player.

I think they traded for CJGJ because it wasn’t high round pick compensation for a good player at non-premium position. 

At this point i don’t think it matters as i don’t see that type of player becoming available anyway. So it’s a moot point. I’m moving on cause we disagree on multiple things here. 

If we end up with a secondary of Slay, Maddox, McPhearson, Epps and Blankenship as starters next season, that is just scary.  In a really bad way

I am super worried about what slay is gonna look like next year. He’s going to be older with more miles on him. He wasn’t as good in the second half of the season.

It won't be. If anything a journeyman CB will be there for CB#2 on a 1 year deal.

Not a bad hire.  People forget how great those Jets teams were defensively.

Edit: Why is my post count so low, I had thousands of posts. Database reset? Lol.

Were you aware that the Eagles decided to nuke the EMB in April 2020 (gave us 2 weeks notice, then shut down at 5PM Eastern April 30th). 

In those 2 weeks, we all banded together and formed the new EMB, this site. 

Since this is a new site, everyone started at 0. But since we had 2 weeks to prepare, we were able to copy a lot of information like our post counts. But I also archived as much of the old EMB as I could during those 2 weeks, so that anyone that came along afterwards, could go look up their old profiles and we could then add their stats to this board. 

So when you see everyone here with huge post counts, it's only because their (our) old EMB stats were manually added to our accounts (which was no small task lol). 

Here's a couple of links from our early days that go over a lot of that (there's a video of a news report in the first link where they talk about us):

They won't. They will either draft a corner in the first round or sign a half way decent vet who doesn't cost much. HOWEVER, if Epps and Blankenship are the safeties we are screwed. Epps isn't very good, average at best. CJGJ is such a good and versatile player. He might have been the best player in their secondary this year. They need to bring him back, PERIOD.

I'm not watching the tape to know for sure, but I fail to see much of a difference between Epps and Blankenship.

Didn't see that, last I saw he was still on the Steelers. Honestly, I'm impressed. I seriously thought he'd be absolutely Fed (from head coaching jobs, to be specific) after taking legal action to the Dolphins. I think a lot of the board members did as well. I was lurking, I just didn't sign in. Lol.

I go back and forth on this, if you are a Dc/defensive coach and you in the running for the HC job probably should really take it if offered. In an offensive driven league i think if the opportunity comes up and you have a shot you should see it through cause the next year you might not get an opportunity and may never again. At the same time there’s some organizations i totally get that coaches wouldn’t want to touch. The cardinals are one of those imo.

Kancey is a damn wrecking ball but man his size just makes him such a tough guy to really get a feel for.  He's almost like a combination of Aaron Donald and Dwight Freeney.  He causes problems and is a violent player.  If the new DC plays the same D as last year, he could probably come in and take BGs role to start.  Is he a 1st rounder?  

 

A wrecking ball that was struck by a bolt of lighting. I like him.

Too many young CBs to do that this year.

Porter Jr.

Smith 

Witherspoon 

Gonzalez 

Ringo

Grab one at 10 or a trade down 

This sucks bad. Listening to all y’all talk makes me want to jump off a bridge. Yeah. We won’t be as good. No ish. But damn.

I think the eagles are still likely going to be a 10-11 win team next year cause the offense is still going to be really good. Unless hurts gets injured. Losing seumalo and sanders isn’t ideal but i do think with stoutland we can find a solid replacement for seumalo and i think the eagles will get a solid back to go with gainwell. Brian Johnson likely has some growing pains as a nfl play caller but i think he’ll be fine for the most part.

to me the drop off was always coming on defense with or without Gannon. The amount of free agents, youth that’s going to be out there and just less talent. Plus was really hard for the defense to go anywhere but down. Like i don’t see them coming close to 70 sacks. Probably some early season struggles but hope by the end of the year they are rolling. 

Fricking corndog, Gannon got corndogged

it's only the NFL, the sport of kings now. But yeah, chances are they'll be bridesmaids for years to come. At least we have that one ring. And Hurts is always good for surprises. Strong franchise too.
