He's a solid tackler, but he can be overaggressive at times when trying to lay big hits and over runs the play. It's a slight worry, but I think with pro coaching we will see that cleaned up; I'd rather have my Safety being over aggressive than not aggressive enough (like blast from the past Nate Allen).

Howie has taken it to another level since that BS too. Or he finally gave him free reign and admitted he (Lurie) had too much influence. Who knows.
April 29, 20232 yr ”He was a passion player for a lot of people in this organization.“ -Roseman Yeah, I‘ll give him a shot. 😁

Getting guys from championship SEC teams doesn't hurt.

Well and that early pick is well earned. All four picks may be starters in the future.. and now four lottery tickets. It is good work paired with a bit of luck.

Yeah haven't checked but trading up in the first instead of back seems to be working out

April 29, 20232 yr I like the Brown pick but in-the-box safety who can't tackle isn't a great description for a player

Kid is an underrated ballhawk that plays physical football.
April 29, 20232 yr I just noticed the guy was born London, Ontario. Woop woop. A fellow Canadian on my team. 🇨🇦🍁
April 29, 20232 yr 7 hours ago, EazyEaglez said: It all still needs to payoff on the field but I do think Howie is doing much better as a drafter now than he was in the past. He still has a first name Jalen obsession though. 😂 Agreed. And he said it himself as to WHY he is better. "We didn't try to get cute." The Justin Jefferson cuteness made him change how he picks.

April 29, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, Talonblood said: THIS^ Howie just letting the draft come to him and just making the sound pick allows him to be the smartest guy in the room when it comes to trades, contracts, and savvy FA pickups. Not overthinking the draft has turned him into the best GM in football.
April 30, 20232 yr Howie went to his school to scout another player and every time he turned on the tape, this guy showed up. All over the filed. Deep, in the box, blitzing. And they drafted him. Incredible story. This guy shined on another players tape. Eye in the sky doesn't lie.
