It's hard to say since we lump both banned members, spammers and bots all under the "banned" user group.  For example, of the last 25 registrations (1/17/2022-03/26/2023) that were banned:

20: Various Bots (A lot from Russia\eastern Europe the past 2 or so weeks) and spammers

4: Previously banned members (old board and new) trying to register

1: A recently suspended member creating a clone account to post with.

 

TL;DR:  If I do a count on all the accounts in the Banned group, it will be artificially high.  I would need to go through every single account to determine if it was a primary account that was removed from the board.

 

If I were to guess, I'd say we are still in the single digits of actual members being banned since the new board has been stood up. (a few months ago, low single digits)  Now that it's not team owned and community driven, the rules have been significantly relaxed compared to when we were under the team's domain and all that is asked it to be reasonably civil amongst each other.  

 

 

What are these Russian bots posting?  Is it football related stuff?  

Rather trade 10 and get Simmons

I’m guessing brides for sale.

If clearly the BPA and no reasonable offers on the table?  Frankly, if Gonzales is there, he sure seems likely to be the BPA and good value.

I manually check every registration before the account is accepted, so if I do my job correctly, nothing.  Because they are never given access to the site.

If one were to follow the Gil Brandt drafting method we could assume most drafts have 10-15 actual first round-caliber talent, while the difference between 16-45 is somewhat minimal.  In this draft for me it's tough to get too excited beyond the first 10-12 prospects. 

I would go into the draft with the plan to pick at 10 (it's seldom the Eagles have a chance to draft a top 10 talent) and look to trade back from 30 with a team wanting to get into the first round for the 5th year option on a player.  It all depends, of course, who is on the board at #10.  Gonna have to hope 4 QBs actually go in the top 9 picks.

I like Deonte Banks - every one of his stats are better than gonzalez

My number is closer to the first 5 - Anderson, Wilson, Gonzalez, Witherspoon, and maybe Carter if I could talk myself back into him

I don't understand why this concept is so difficult for some. Since we are on an MB in 2023, most of us are probably in our 40s and older. It should not be that hard to be civil even when you disagree with someone. Or if it is too hard, then just ignore them.

Older Doesn't always mean smarter or more civil.

One would think the older one gets the more civil they would be but history is littered with examples of old men acting badly...

Maybe Howie makes another pre-draft trade for more ammunition which he then uses for Simmons on draft day?

I mean if you're drafting a track team than yeah Banks is probably your guy 

Gonzalez looks smoother in game to me.

Apparently Devin white Bucs LB tweeted out to eagles.

He wants to be traded, he's in the last year of his rookie contract, not sure how much Howie would give up on a trade for a LB 🤷‍♂️

I can see it pretty clearly

Right now, I think we trade down at 10 more than make a pick. We basically have 4 picks that matters + one-two more for UDFA/backups.

We have needs at RB, OL8-9-10, WR4-5, DE5, DT4, CB5, etc.

Just indulging the thought of moving Maddox to safety…

* Christian Gonzalez played 100 snaps in the slot for Oregon. If he somehow got to 10, he might be able to play the slot with the potential to move outside in case of injury. 

That said, I don’t think the odds of him lasting to 10 are good. 

I really don't think they're ever moving Maddox. They've had a lot of years to do it but never have,  and paid him his extension as a nickel. 

 

It would fix one position,  and improve another.  But they never do this sort of common sense thing.

He did not.  People misinterpreted that. 

He was expressing excitement for his former teammate greedy Williams signing here.

That's my list at 10 as well, except I also have Paris Johnson.

Michael Scott is a better negotiator.

Please stay out of the NFC.  Hopefully that report yesterday about the Colts team plane hanging out in Baltimore for a bit means they are going to trade for him.

Lamar is really upset the team signed Nelson Agholor. Totally get it

Ryan Leaf said over the weekend if there is a team who signs Jackson to an offer sheet, there's no way the Ravens would match.  I agree wholeheartedly.  The Ravens would take the two first round picks and move on.

"The Ravens has not been interested in meeting my value"

What's your value, buddy??
