There's no guarantee any of these players get back to thier dominate pre-injury selves, could get reinjured over and over in the future for we know? Isn't that what we are all Praying Sidney Jones does? Get healthy. Who is to say he will? If Simmons drops out of the 1st and the cost isn't massive to move up earlier in the 2nd, I'm ok with it. Otherwise, hard pass. Give me someone NOT injured that can contribute into the rotation from day 1 of the 2019 run to the SB!! So you’d rather spend multiple high picks on a guy who doesn’t play rather than just one? That makes no sense? If you are willing to trade up for Simmons just take him at 25. You can get the year 1 impact from the guys at 53 and 57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I am warming up to the idea of taking Dexter Lawrence if we trade down into the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoUpTwoDown Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 The closer we get to the draft I think there is no way we don't take an offensive lineman in the 1st. The only way we don't imo is if someone like Oliver falls and we trade up for him. He will go top 10 for sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree, A lot of people have him falling between 12-20 due to QBS and OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's easily a top 5 prospect in this draft. Him falling to 12-20 would be absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risner is purely a OT prospect to me. Ford has a nastiness about him I like does he move well enough for what we like to do? Does he have enough strength to anchor ? Dillard is gone before 25. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they go CotF at 25 a few guys that could develop into replacements, allowing them to keep Seumalo at OG and. Possibly challenge Pryor at G until Brooks is back Possibly, that's why you have them compete for the spot. Either way, the Eagles adding to the pipeline is a legit need. Risner played center before moving to tackle. He is a legit 4 (possibly 5?) position player and would offer tremendous flexibility to the team going forward. Ford is extremely athletic for his size. Almost (but not quite) Shawn Andrews-like. He also has an excellent anchor and did 36 reps with almost 35" arms. There is an argument that he could be a bit boom/bust, but his potential is very high. The potential flexibility he could add is icing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Oliver's visit didn't go well. https://insidetheiggles.com/2019/04/13/eagles-draft-rumors-ed-oliver-leaves-bad-impression/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If prospects don't understand that every step of the process is an extended job interview and act accordingly, then it certainly brings up valid maturity questions if nothing else does it not?

Even if the report is similar, who's to say it's real That said it fits with some of the reporting from college on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do seem to come up with this stuff a lot. I mean they were interested in Antonio Brown and Amari Cooper, both ends of the moody receiver spectrum. SO it's not like they are anti personality or anything. I think it really is a draft thing. If you are Guice and can't handle someone asking if you love Fortnite more that Football, maybe you need to grow up a little bit. It's not really fans so much as our beat writers, they can be ruthless sometimes. Which hey you do you. But when you get asked about screwing up a play...or something dumb you did for the 14th time in 3 days. How will you handle that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
