Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Love, Hurts - Super Bowl LIX Champions (Jojo's Favorite Time Of The Year - Combine)

TIL the Eagles then-owner came up with the idea of a draft for parity because he was pissed he couldn't get any of these college players to sign. They all went to the , powerhouse Bears, etc. Those teams recognized the importance of parity and signed on for the good of the league.

I'm mainly thinking why I wouldn't be shocked is if there is an active roster player being offered to them. Then again, pick 32 generally isn't prime first round material (all apologies to Lamar Jackson), but that fifth year option is huge. Most likely, and I agree with you, is packaging to trade up.

I'm of the opinion this is not the year to be trading up in the first. Id love to drop to the 40s and pick up another 3rd. Imo this draft has lots of second round talent deep into the 3rd.

I'm finally starting to get to some draft work. My live viewings were wrong. You were right about Landon Jackson. That has all the makings of a solid player for a long time, which is fine in this draft.

I had no recollection whatsoever of him playing mostly 4i. It all makes so much more sense.

Love that dudes RAS. He also competes.

I'm bummed i see Ezeiruaku as a top 30 visit. I think he's not going to have success in the pros at his size, at least as a 4-3 DE.

Unless there is a QB you want at the end of rd 1, where getting the 5th year helps especially if you are redshirting him in year 1 and even year 2 like a Milroe from Alabama who need work, that makes sense to buy you the extra year as a starter to evaluate the kid.
All other positions, it is not about the 5th year so much as it is about jumping teams ahead of you to ensure you get the guy you want.

Personally, I'm not feeling that any of this years QBs are first rounders. Really bad QB year.

Georgia Bulldog Guard?

I think you can pencil him in the Eagles lineup rn

Jared Wilson also had a great RAS.

Both of these guys will likely need our second. While they would be awesome, there are some other great options to be had in later rounds. Let Stoudland cook at guard.

I'd still rather not take a tackle high as well, but if we did, I'd understand.

Personally, I'm hoping for a heavy defense investment.

I agree. Feels like the Pickett year. With Corral, Willis, Ridder went round 3.
But again, better to come up to 30-32 to get that 5th year option. Best case the kid plays well enough in years 2-4 and you are convinced he’s your long term starter and you pay him. Otherwise, you let him play out the 5th year and move on.
