"We Let Foles Go... But We Still Hit The Jaccpot Cuz" 2019 Philadelphia Eagles Off/Pre-Season Thread

[So UnThotful]

The Philadelphia Eagles could reportedly put wide receiver Nelson Agholor on the trade block if they select another wideout during the 2019 NFL draft, which kicks off Thursday night in Nashville, Tennessee.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported the update Wednesday, noting opposing teams view Agholor as "being available" heading into the draft.

Happy draft Eve

That’s great news – Cox, Jackson, and Jernigan make for an already solid interior on the D-Line without adding someone. Now the only real holes on the team are RB and LB, two positions the Eagles don’t even value that highly anyway. There’s no need to force anything because all the important positions have at least one starter.

All kinds of possibilities for the draft tonight and it really just depends on who’s available at #25. Christian Wilkins, Jeffery Simmons, Cody Ford, Marquise Brown, DK Metcalf, Jerry Tillery, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Garrett Bradbury, Nasir Adderley… one of these guys are likely going to be available by the time the Eagles pick.

And if not, then they have the opportunity to trade back for another 2nd and pick up A.J. Brown, Darrell Henderson, Miles Sanders, Jaylon Ferguson, etc. All of these guys have the possibility to transform this team for the better. It’s really exciting because you don’t know who it’s gonna be and you can’t go wrong with any of them.

shyt, imagine if Chris Long doesn't retire (even though it's looking like he will ) and we get someone like Wilkins. A D-Line of Long, Sweat, Curry, Graham, and Barnett at the edges and Cox, Jackson, Jernigan, and Wilkins inside? That's the 2017 D-Line all over again.

Not mad at Timmy coming back at all

Still hope we use an early pick on a D lineman though


Anybody see that everyone has us taking Hollywood if he's there? I dunno how i feel about that. Obviously a super talented kid, but I'm just not sure I like a wr in the 1st

I feel like Safety and Guard are the biggest needs right now and there will be some good WRs to add as late as poasibly the 5th round

I think it’ll be whoever’s the best player available. If an elite defensive or offensive lineman is available at #25 then Howie definitely takes that person. QB, D-Line, O-Line… that’s Philadelphia’s general priority order.

But if no one is, then I have no problems with Hollywood in the 1st. We saw last year how much the offense depends on having a guy who can burn defenses deep when Mike Wallace went down in Week 2 and the Eagles struggled the move the ball. We also saw how a good receiver can open things up in the Cowboys, when they added Cooper and their offense turned around.

PHI has Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, and Nelson Agholor with only Mack Hollins and Shelton Gibson behind them. Hollins is an unknown and Gibson wasn’t able to get snaps even with the WR corps as depleted as it was. DeSean Jackson is still a great deep threat, but he’s 32-years old and injury prone, you need someone good behind him. The Eagles want to move on from Agholor soon. That just leaves Alshon.

Marquise Brown is a great deep threat option who can also play in the slot, which would give Pederson and Groh flexibility in how they design the offense. If the worst should happen with DJax, you have a starter-quality WR right there behind him, so they’re not stuck with another Wallace situation. And Philadelphia is also free to move Agholor, get rid of the $9.5 he’ll cost (which can be used to help pay Wentz), and maybe get another pick for 2020.

Brown isn’t my first choice at #25, but I wouldn’t hate it. There’ll be talented Guards and Safeties in the 2nd round, too.

Man the Timmy moves just opens the draft up even more . When breh came back he really open shyt up for Cox

Now I hope of Simmons slips to the 2nd,we can grab him.

I’m hearing a lot of chatter on Marquise Brown being the pick

 

[FLORIDA BOI]

I dont buy it, I think its a smokescreen...Howie and Joe D dont operate that way, I think its DE or OL unless they trade back

You like Ferrell at all?

I dunno if I want a DE in the 1st but if he's there I wouldn't mind it

he is ok- he is probably the most well rounded DE in the draft but he isn't elite at anything so he is kinda boring as a prospect...I am hoping Sweat falls somehow...I would be in on him@ 25
