Been meaning to ask this but wanted to wait until the entire NFL was officially in off season mode:

Be the GM and predict our starting offensive weapons for next season. Jayden is obviously QB1, so I got him in there already. Scary Terry is my #1 and will remain that way even if we make a splash this offseason, so I'm keeping him in there.

QB1: Jayden Daniels

Ekeler is still under contract. I think hes is a fine change of pace RB

 

[Bananas]

Higgins, Ertz, Noah or Dyami Brown, Ekeler, Sinnot and a rookie RB to compete with BRob.

"Not on Team Yet" is what I would put ...

Ertz should come back as a zone TE in some packages but I imagine KK and the FO target a do all true TE1;

Ekeler is under contract for another year but is not reliable and I imagine we find a younger version of Ekeler while keeping Ekeler on

Noah Brown - hopefully we can resign, he was a chain mover, 1st down getter, hes the WR equivalent of Ertz

-------------------------

LT = we need a stud so Coleman can go to RT, Wylie can stay on as swing T or get cut (10m cap hit if keep or 7.5m in cap savings if cut)

LT biggest need on the team imo, solving that solves some other problems as well imo

Also Dieter can suck my dick .. f*** that guy .. we need a better backup C or a stud IOL swing man like Schweitzer was

This is a shining example of how RR's draft era left us ****ed. The depth of our OL is non-existent. Here were Ron's OL draft picks:

2020
OT S. Charles (4th) -- out of the league
C K. Ismael (5th -- last played for ARI 2023

2021
OT S. Cosmi (2nd) -- moved from OT to G where he's become our best lineman

2022
G Chris Paul (7th) -- on the roster. Played 1 snap in '24. Inactive for 10 games.

2023
C Ricky Stromberg (3rd) -- IR
OT Braeden Daniels (4th) -- didn't play in '23 'cuz he was dogshit; IR '24, which saved him from cut due to previously-established designation of "dogshit"

That's 4 drafts, 1 starter, ZERO roster-worthy back-ups. Which is why the OL may be our weakest overall position groups -- certainly in terms of the number of even replacement-level players we need to bring in to have a stable group.

Man, **** you, Ron Rivera. (Sorry, I know. I'm mostly over it.)

 

[kicksavedave]

QB1: Jayden Daniels
RB1: BRob early then draft pick later (probably will split the snaps early with the rookie taking over later)
RB2: Ekeler
WR1: Terry McLaurin
WR2: Noah Brown
WR3: Luke McCaffery or draft pick fighting for 3/4 reps.
TE1: Ertz
TE2: Sinnott

I just don't see a lot of wholesale changes on offense, I see them spending their draft capital and free agent/cap room on defense. I think with modest holes everywhere they will go BPA along the whole draft, so the 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks could be a OT, Edge, CB, WR, RB, TE etc. No one below those rounds should be expected to unseat any starter.

Sinnott will get a lot more time next year. He wasn't bad, he played well, but Ertz and Bates were just better than he was.

If the East runs through Philly, then every team in the division needs to ensure their Lines on both sides can match up.

He was also super weird on the mic'ed up segments I saw. Kept telling skill guys how much he loves them as he helped them up. Maybe not weird after TDs or huge plays, or maybe after blowing an assignment that got the guy hammered, but he was just doing it all the time. If we don't replace him we might need to get a time machine to deliver some hugs to his 5-year-old self cuz dude is either needy or thirsty.

 

[usiel]

I had 2 women (skins fans, own gear and shit) .. screaming cheering for every eagles 1st down and shit

f***ing annoying

During Gibbs era first I generally would root for the NFC East team if the skins were out of it. Found I could not do that in recent years.

I don’t think anyone is going to argue with you but if even half of those players work out even halfway well they don’t have Daniels. So which one would you prefer? It isn’t worth even asking IMO. We’re starting over and it’s fine. They have the most important position in the game locked down for the next 10-15 years if they play their cards right. What happened before doesn’t matter. IMO, of course but this have our cake and eat it too fantasy isn’t worth spending a second thought on.

Totally get that. I guess for me, I DO think it's better for us to have to overcome the champs twice a year; that it's a good motivator and measuring stick. Plus I really think the Chiefs needed to be humbled.

Mahomes' face has gradually become more and more punchable to me over the last couple years, with the cool-guy commercials, diving for penalties, his creep brother and drunk father... I'm probably overreacting to some of that stuff, but the totality of it just galls me for whatever reason.

I'm a little less sick of Kelce, with that put-on street accent to go with the sideline outbursts and coaching conflicts. Seems a little douchey. I know nothing about Taylor Swift, so I don't get the negative reaction some have. She seems nice. *shrug*

Anyway, I think it's good they lost and lost BIG. They needed that humble pie. Too bad they couldn't pull off the threepeat. I guess we'll have to do it instead.

So yeah, I was an Eagles fan for a minute there by process of elimination. It felt icky. But I had myself a Silkwood shower and I'm good now.

I think this is natural to get over a player a bit when they get max promotion and exposure.

 

[DWGie26]

This offseason was always going to be another overhaul. The rebuild of the “dogshit” Ron left us a multi-year process. We just exceeded expectations last year.

The formula last offseason was to spend broadly versus deeply. I think we do that again this year and flip a fair number of positions. There may be opportunity to spend big on one player (OL, DL) but otherwise i think it is more upside players that fit. Fortunately we don’t have as many holes as expected at beginning of season, but still a lot of improvement areas.

2025 NFL Mock Draft: After Super Bowl LIX, how might first three rounds look?

The 2024 NFL season is officially in the books, which means it's 2025 NFL Draft season. How will the early rounds unfold in April?

29. Washington Commanders: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

The Commanders need more speed and playmaking ability around Jayden Daniels, be it at tight end, running back or wide receiver. All feel like options — good options, given how the board could fall — in Round 1.

Golden exploded as Texas’ top WR this year, and the 6-foot, 200-pound burner will flirt with a 4.3-second 40-yard dash at the combine.

61. Washington Commanders: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

79. Washington Commanders (from MIA): Kyle Kennard, Edge, South Carolina

From a need stand point a WR/OT/Edge with the first three picks not a bad thing.

- Seems like there should be some good/great EDGE options at 29 - Green, M. Williams, Pearce, Ezeiruaku, Sawyer, L. Jackson

- Would rather wait until 61 or 79 for WR. I could see Tre Harris or Jayden Higgins available there. Both dudes with size and great hands.

- I really want one of the RB’s with the 3rd or 5th. Lots of options this year, my early faves: TreyVeon Henderson, Dylan Sampson, Devin Neal.

That’s my WAY too early read on the draft, lol. Hope AP trades down at some point(s) cause we need bodies everywhere.

Yeah Edge and RB are the strengths of an otherwise bad draft class. Your lists are almost identical to mine.

I think a couple of these pass rushers are going to be good good. Williams and Pearce are probably gone by 29, though. Pearce in particular would be an perfect add.

Yea, we might be just out of range for some of those top EDGE guys. Obviously still a ways to go w the combine, etc…

But we could trade down to the 40s and still get a guy like Landon Jackson. Guy is huge, with a high motor. Might lack explosiveness to be a premier pass rusher, but is great against the run - can control the LOS and set the edge. Skills we need badly.

 

[John Price]

 

[kicksavedave]

Mike Green seems to be climbing up the mock drafts due to his great Sr Bowl week. A couple others I really like are Princely Umanmeilen and Donovan Exeirauku. Both high motor, quick first step, lots of pass rush moves, great bend, and have a history of tons of pressures and sacks. Both guys are around 250 lbs so think Micah Parsons types but both also play the run well. If we wanted to go with a bigger run stuffer type who can also rush the passer, then Nic Scourton (285) or Ashton Gillotte (275) should be available with our 1st or 2nd round picks respectively. Shemar Steweart also fits this bill, big DE with pass rush and run stopping talent.

Jayden Higgins is a WR I really like but he would go 2 picks before me in every mock draft I tried, either before our 2nd or our 3rd.

Finally there may not be the biggest need at safety here, but Nic Emmanwori is going to remind Redskins fans of Sean Taylor and I don't say that casually. 6'3" 230 lb safety who runs a 4.38 forty, and flies all over the place demolishing would be receivers or runners. Hard to say where he'll go as I've seen him all over the place. But I'll shit my pants if we pass on him and the Eagles draft him right after us. He'll torment us for years. Absolute physical freak, just like the late great Sean Taylor was.

Nick Emmanwori Safety South Carolina | NFL Draft Profile & Scouting Report

Rating: 87.7 Rank: #5 Forty: 4.38 Emmanwori will likely be an immediate impact player at the next level, particularly for defensive coordinators creative enough to maximize his unique skill...
