"Wentz Gone, Now We Embrace The Devonta "2K21 Philadelphia Eagles Off-Season Thread

[So UnThotful]

We're drafting a defender, CB or DL

Actually, you have a point for once

At 12, we have alot more options for value

Yep, I hated the idea of going DB at 6, but 12 or beyond if we do another trade-back ? Way more palatable.

If we drop down to the late teens/early 20s I'd be happy to take a chance on one of those risky high-upside edge defenders like Rousseau or Paye. Them boys can jump out the gym, they just need some guidance from vets like BG & Cox on how to win with technique.

i always have a point, y'all just biased as hell

 

[gangreen]

Cant be short sighted.

 

[PortCityProphet]

So him at 12 would be a pretty huge reach you think?

Ive seen him rated as the top dt alot

Extremely huge. I dont think hell be THAT big of a game changer.

 

[Controversy]

We keep focusing on the first round pick but that 2nd round pick and two 3rd round picks will be SUPER CRUCIAL

If Terrace Marshall from LSU is available at 37, we have to take him

Horn could be a nice aggressive press corner for us

He should def be in play at 12 if Dallas doesn't take him

 

[Box Factory]

I dont like Horn

I feel like he got beat up on by any elite guy he went up against

Horn will be an excellent fit as a press corner that plays in a 2 deep def

My biggest gripe with Jim Schwartz is that he left his corners on an island on the outside utilizing one deep S on obvious passing downs

Farley will prob be the best corner in the draft but can we risk taking a guy coming off back surgery after the Sidney Jones debacle

MMQB: Inside 49ers' Bold Decision to Move Up in Draft

The Eagles worked exclusively with the Dolphins, and Roseman had to keep the trade under wraps in the two-plus weeks in between to allow for the bang-bang nature of how it eventually would go down. And with a pretty good decent chance the Bengals will take LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase at five (we mentioned in our mock this week that that Joe Burrow has given Cincinnati’s brass a glowing recommendation), Philly felt comfortable with the difference in talent between six and 12—and also operated with the knowledge that it’d be hard to get a future first (this being Miami’s slotted No. 1 in 2022) in exchange for moving down closer to the draft, particularly if it looked like the top four picks would be QBs.

(Also, this allows Philly to reset its roster, with a minimum of two 1s and two 2s—and more likely, so long as Carson Wentz stays healthy, three 1s in 2022—plus a cleaned-up cap to work with then.)


Eagles & Dolphins made their trade under the assumption that the first 5 picks are gonna go QB-QB-QB-QB-Chase
