OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Don't Cry Because It's Over, Smile Because it Happened (Offseason - 2023)

[Flyer lurker]

Offense from here on out!

still wouldnt hate a safety

rb for sure

 

[JojoTheWhale]

He fell because he’s small. It’s legit. You need a plan with those guys or they don’t work.

They also have the guy everyone in the universe comped him to for good reasons and they used him damn well.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Holy shit! What a draft! What a day! I would have been okay with him at 10

I was in the same boat earlier in the thread

 

[Kermit the Prog]

Howie has Big Dick Energy

 

[Chinatown88]

FAU for the hometown flavor

Gainwell is the guy. This RB stuff mystifies me

Secondary a need as always. Wouldn't hate a WR. Definitely want them to go after some uber athletic freak OT for Stoutland

Liked him.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Maaaan KC has turned their drafting around the last two years.

the universe is talking to us now. You just have to listen

swingun past your knees

as the eagle fans have entered the goodie room

 

[Chinatown88]

Liked him.

Edit: I'm dummy and thinking of Addy

Edit 2: Addy didn't go late 1st. Dang.

Not a scott guy
and Penny who knows if he can stay healthy

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Well, the Eagles should have a fresh quality dline every play. I’ll probably wake up and check tomorrow to really make sure we got both. I never would have thought it possible

 

[FLYguy3911]

Can't believe the whole league actually passed on Levis. I agree, but still shocking.

The Hooker 1st round hype was always crazy.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I feel like people “wanting” a RB in the first round are stuck in 2001.

pics of this GF/mom/sisters or didnt happen lol

Howie's wife had better be taking plenty of Vitamin B tonight, because she's about to get a pounding.

The Hooker 1st round hype was always crazy.

If Smith had somehow gone, I was thinking the Rams might want to hop up and grab one of the two, to line up their replacement for Stafford. Things seem to be working out well from their perspective, at least.

[Taijuan Fedotov]

OLine, pass catchers, and PUNTER rest of the way

 

[ChaosLord]

The Eagles had the best 1st round, but man, its tough determining who had the worst: the Lions? The Jets? Dallas? Arizona? Getting Nolan Smith wasn't the result of Howie's brilliance, it was just sitting there and watching other teams screw up.

Lions

WTF was that RB selection?

The Hooker 1st round hype was always crazy.

Hooked going round 1 would have been an even bigger historical outlier than Walker at 1OA to me. No one has any idea if Hooker is an NFL QB. Not one person on the planet. He might not even be a backup.

Are you saying fit matters as well as raw talent? Does that apply to hockey as well?

Eagles stuck with a scheme (3/4 morphs into 4/3 under) that allows you to play fast edge guys in space and undersized LBs. Then Howie drafts/signs to that scheme. Let your DTs control the center of the field, and your edge/LBs chase everything to the perimeter and set up mismatches of DEs/SLBs against TEs and RBs in pass protection.
