I have been battling some health issues and haven't been able to keep up with the draft this year like other years.  Quick question.  Are there 10 elite prospects in this draft? As in, are there enough that Philly will have one to pick from at 10? Or are there less than 10 which makes our pick likely tradeable? 

Less than. Depends how many QBs go top 10 also.

How many would be ideal? 3,4?

4 and that might not even be good enough. Just not a lot of "elite” prospects. Some good ones but most have some type of flaw.

I'm going with 3 that way one will be available at 10 so it may be more enticing for a team to trade up.

Anderson Jr. or bust for me. I’m thinking we end up going o-line or trading back if a QB falls to 10.

Just can’t see pick 10 as anything other than DL. Skoronski would probably be the "safest” pick but I just don’t see going guard that early unless it’s a Nelson who is basically already an All-Pro. 

Ryan Harris on NFL Radio saying there’s no way the Panthers are drafting Bryce Young #1 overall.  Just when I thought he was making good sense, he says the Panthers will draft Will Levis instead

First I’ve heard connecting them with levis. I’ve heard Richardson mentioned on a multitude of occasions. Even stroud and young. 

If Eagles got OT then it's going to be Broderick Jones.

Dream scenario if he slightly drops but with a lot of beat writers suggesting o-line I wouldn’t be surprised if Howie is intentionally putting it out there to soften the blow for more casual fans when they pass on Bijan. DGunn spent today pushing Paris Johnson and I think that’s going to be the pick.

Paris is the only o-lineman I would take at 10. Maybe could talk myself into Jones. Would much rather trade back and take Torrence if we go o-line.

But yes my dream is alive until it’s dead. If Anderson Jr. makes it past 5 and we don’t trade up, I’ll be sad.

Bucky Brooks said tonight Levis is picking up steam and could go ahead of Stroud.

Levi’s throws off a Jeff George vibe. Good luck

I just don't love Johnson but I don't hate him either. I really like Jones and Wright.

He was shocked too, DJ also says there's so much smoke with the Texans not going QB he's starting to believe it.

I’m definitely not a casual fan. I know I have been pushing for Bijan. It’s because the other positions seem weak outside Anderson and Wilson and I like the prospects for those positions with the next 3 picks. With that being said, I wouldn’t be upset at all if we did pick one of those positions instead. I understand the value.

Not suggesting anyone pushing for Bijan is casual. Just the casual fan, which is probably the majority of the fan base overall, will be the loudest if Eagles pass on him. He’d likely be the most exciting pick for everyone, but if he’s not the pick I think most here would understand why he’s not.

I can see Arthur Smith going Bijan at 8. He had Henry for years and may want the elite back to run his offense through. I really want Bijan there at 10 just for fun. Also maybe if you have him and QB there you can get some quality trade back options.

Whether happy or not with the pick, I’m sure most fans would be excited to some degree to draft a generational talent like Bijan. I personally hope we don’t take a RB until day 3 but I can’t say I wouldn’t be excited to see him in this offense after I came to terms with the pick. Especially since this draft is devoid of top 10 talent except for 2-3 guys. Any other draft I’d say absolutely no.

I think it depends what the Eagles feel is the most valuable to them. The best RG possible or the guy who can come in and play well enough at RG while also being able to kick out to RT when inevitably the time comes. 

The best RG, from what I’ve seen, is Torrence, but he’s not the RT of the future.
