The last time we made multiple picks in the first round?  30 years ago.  In 1993 they picked Lester Holmes and Leonard Renfro in the 1st.  

All the more reason NOT to make two picks. 😂

    Just pick the best player available at 10. I dont care who it is as long as its not a QB.

    I am not as focused on where we pick, whether we stay at 10, trade up or down (so long as we don't trade down too far).  I just want an impact player and best chance of hitting on one is obviously top half of the round.

    I like when they add some depth and competition with cheaper signings like the ones they've done lately. They're not "the answer" as a starting position or future, sometimes a stop gap or just depth.  The guys that were high draft picks from other teams but either had injury issues or just struggled a bit, that's a low risk/high reward. If they end up doing well, great.  If not, then they get cut or just leave in free agency after their 1 year deal.  

    It also makes them not desperate for any position in the draft.  They can truly go BPA other than certain positions they won't draft high.  They can follow the pattern like last year of drafting guys that you can afford to have them rotate in and develop and then grow into a starter when they're ready.  Or, if they are up to it they win a starting job that's great too but the pressure isn't there.

    Just please don't screw up the two 1st round picks.

    Exactly.  So many people think every signing is a front line player.

    Amos and McLeod still out there if the Eagles want to add a FS. Can't imagine they would cost much at this point.

    Not a bad snag ... Howie keeps finding cheap, young vets who still have upside due to past injuries.

    From the article...

    Quote

    He suffered a torn ACL in a pre-NFL Draft visit with the New York Giants that sidelined him for all of 2018 and for all but the final three games of 2019

    Damn, what the hell do the Giants do with players on their pre-draft visits?:blink:

    Eagles just keep adding players. This was an incredibly active FA period for Howie. They’re getting young FAs on top of that. Guys who are still hungry and have some versatility. Still have their two first round picks in the pocket as well. Yeah they have a difficult season ahead, but they still should be considered contenders. 

    I just don’t see all of these FA signings making the final roster.

    As is John Johnson.

    Howie is transparent about it by calling them lottery tickets.

    Byard?

    Too bad they couldn't afford Austin Ekeler.

    FWIW in AJ's 3 TD game vs Pittsburgh they actually had Edmunds lined up on him like a corner on the first one.

    I don't think he was involved in the other 2.

    If we are using Edmunds as a corner on the other team's #1 WR then its not an Edmunds problem.

    Budda really wants philly. Has been complementing everyone. But I just don't see it happening

    Wonder if there are some more restructures in play. Looks like Jordan only helps for 2024 but still.

    I just don't see a multi year high paid safety being part of the financial plan

    Offense is pretty much locked in for years to come. Jalen's deal offers some flexibility.
