Dude. What a first round for Philly. Crushed it.
Seriously. Those that follow this stuff closely were hoping that the Birds took advantage of their 2 picks. Only an off-the-charts optimist could have imagined they would get Carter and Smith, and only have to give up a 2024 4th round pick to move up (for Carter) in the process.
Only time will tell if Carter and Smith live up to their projections, but the odds seem to favor that happening.
Howie further cemented his reputation.
In my opinion the Eagles made the best pick of the first round. How the heck does Jalen Carter a 2 or 3 pick slide down to number 9 is amazing and confusing to me. Whether it’s fate, luck or skill doesn’t really matter. Congratulations to the scouts who rarely get any recognition and are usually overshadowed by GM’s.
Carter slid because of concerns about his character. It’s not complicated.
that whole interaction with Micah and A.J. was awesome!
Totally agree Tom. Eagles are the best organization in football. And yes, I am a homer, but that doesn't make what I said less true
Lol, SAS is going off on how the Eagles crushed last night. It’s been an incredible draft for them.Totally agree Tom. Eagles are the best organization in football. And yes, I am a homer, but that doesn't make what I said less true
Washington got an F for their pick on some website (Bleacher Report?). No other team had worse than a C minus.
This seems to be a good, thoughtful article on Carter and why he was available at #9. From CBS Sports.
Maybe it’s just the optimist in me speaking, but I believe Carter will be just fine.
Is you want to see a messed up draft look at who Detroit took????? A running back not named Robinson when they have Swift on the team and just signed Montgomery from Da Bears - WTF?
Yeah, that Detroit pick just didn’t register.
I was initially disappointed with Washington’s #16 pick of CB Forbes from SEC MSU, but he has great takeaway skills, I’m seeing. Well, love my WFT, always will. I suspect that my initial disappointment is in part due to Porter not being the WFT pick. There had been plenty of mocks sending Porter to WFT, shucks.
Plenty to Like With Commanders' 1st-Round Draft Pick, But Some Questions Are Fair Too
The Washington Commanders selected Mississippi State cornerback Emmanuel Forbes with the 16th pick in the NFL draft Thursday night.

He would be ideal. The chances of him lasting until the Birds' pick at 62? Slim to none, IMHO.
I think OL, Safety, and CB are their biggest needs, so it wouldn't surprise me to see them use the 62nd and the 66th pick on those positions. Will Howie make a trade to get somebody? Hard to know, but I'm sure he/his team will be exploring that option if they are enamored with somebody they don't think will last until their picks.
Edit: after checking a bunch of reports, and thinking a bit more about this, I think I'd add RB and TE to the list of biggest needs.

I think Howies been out smoking Cigars and drinking bourbon. He’ll turn the rest of the draft over to his minions!! Lol
I think they have plans with Swift. Last year of his rookie deal. He was hurt last year and even when healthy lost a lot of snaps to Williams, who they let leave. I think they move Swift soon or know they aren't resigning him.
Yeah, I've seen a few articles indicating as much. It almost seems as though Detroit is looking to trade him, though one would think that they would have gotten more for Swift before the draft.
With the 62 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
