2021 Eagles Thread

Agreed. I grow concerned about the salaries and draft capital that vet WRs command these days.

been there done that, where is Alshon Jeffrey?

Interesting. That could be a sneaky good signing.

 

[Grant Green]

BC re-signed with Houston.

Yup
Brandin Cooks won’t be leaving Houston after all.

Just days after talk emerged that Cooks could be traded, the Texans and Cooks have agreed on a two-year contract extension, according to multiple reports.

Yeah I’d like this a lot. Especially if it’s a decent length contract. I know the eagles like their 1 and 2 year “prove it” contracts but this dude, while 30, isn’t a cast-aside due to his skill. He just got replaced by a younger player and he’s arguably at the top of his game. Big question is, again at 30, has he seen his best days? I’d argue he’s got 2-3 years in him so I wouldn’t be upset with a 3 year contract. That would take the urgency away from the S position in the draft and allow them to go a bit deeper for a S and give K’Von Wallace someone to learn from.

I wonder if he’s adjusted his asking price. My hunch is if he might be better off waiting until after the draft at this point. Some team will miss on its safety need and pay up for a veteran.

Low risk signing. I’ve seen it compared to Mailata, though this guy is quite a bit older coming in. We know he’s fast on a track. Maybe they can stash him on the practice squad for a year.

Or wait till closer to the season of a team has a training camp/pre season injury. Even If no team misses on a safety or if none get injured, he’s still be an upgrade over what, 75% of the safeties in the league? Way I look at it, right now his asking price would be the same as if he waited and there were no misses or injuries. If he waits and there is an injury or miss, he can ask for more. Win win

He was a wonderful player in Philly.

If someone has ESPN+, and if you’re able to copy and paste, can you do so? Maybe at least just the eagles picks? Love to see the picks but refuse to spend anything on ESPN.

With the #15 pick, Howie Roseman selects....

Fc Howie being a setter of trends not a follower

Howie Roseman shares an intriguing philosophy about following trends in team building

The NFL is a copycat league.

@WestSideLion (and others), I look forward to readying your reaction to this:

Mostly because he’s 1 of 32 that have been around for 10 years

@WestSideLion (and others), I look forward to readying your reaction to this:

I read a FiveThirtyEight article that ranked NFL teams by overall draft value realized (vs. possible) in the past several years and they had Philly at #7 overall. I was surprised. What keeps them that high is finding lower round diamonds who outpace their expected contribution. And that counts too.

I still think that Howie's first and second round picks have been pretty awful for the past 5-6 years. We'll see how Hurts and Smith pan out. They need to nail the next couple of early drafts.

Indeed. Mailata, Foles, Kelce….. Howie just needs to trade away his 1’s and 2’s every year for deep round picks….. HAH

he is. I think he means well, but even when he's on the radio and speaking about the upcoming draft, he can be tough to follow as he keeps throwing out random thoughts.

Ok, Eagle maniacs, what are your first round predictions? And no Clubber Lang “pain” GIFs.

I'm feeling Jordan Davis and then the best WR on the board.
