I was listening to the radio this morning and people were flipping out over the fact we don’t have real LBs and I’m just thinking this dude is an idiot and blind to the concept that the NFL is evolving to not needing traditional LBs like a Brian Urlacher 

I think its more the fact that we dont have LBS that are good at anything. They're all just bodies who cant cover TEs/RBs and also dont have the skill to shed blocks and run stuff. They were horrible in all facets. We need a true leader at LB and we dont have that.

That huge run by Wilson on 3rd & long when Bradham missed that tackle is a perfect example of why we need a ball hound LB.

Would love to draft either Woodward or Murray. We would have been much better defensively had we brought back Hicks, but knowing our staff he would have gone to IR too.

Team Needs in order IMO:

WR
CB
LB
S

Please replace the strength & conditioning staff or next season will also be another disaster. Literally 3 straight years limping into the playoffs and its just beyond frustrating. I feel like this year we literally lost a starter every game of the season.

The more I read this thread the more hope I lose of competing next year

I don’t see that at all. A couple CB’s in FA. Draft a bushel of WR’s. Lots of picks to bring in young, cheap talent. There are no FA’s pending that are devastating to lose. 
 

there should be no reason this team doesn’t compete next year

EAGLES 2020 NFL DRAFT PICKS

1 - Eagles’ own pick

2 - Eagles’ own pick

3 - Eagles’ own pick

3 - Projected compensatory pick (Nick Foles)

4 - Eagles’ own pick

4 - Projected compensatory pick (Jordan Hicks)

4 - Projected compensatory pick (Golden Tate)

5 - Eagles’ own pick

5 - Acquired from the New England Patriots

6 - Acquired from the Atlanta Falcons

We have 2 3rds and 3 4ths.

Think Howie is looking into trading some/one of these extra picks for an impact player? Worth a discussion, but also have to keep in mind that this is a deep WR class, an area we cannot afford to miss on.

There is a bit of uncertainty when it comes to the Golden Tate pick.  It may actually be a 5th rounder.

If we have to give up the Foles pick to move up and get Ruggs, then so be it. Right now in all the sims I've done on TDN.

TDN Ruggs in 20 sims
Eagles (21), 8
Jacksonville (20), 1
Raiders (19), 6
Broncos (15), 3
Colts (13), 1
Raiders (12), 1

The Sweet spot would be trading with Miami at 18. Trading up to 14 is steeper than I'd be willing to pay.

There are a lot of moving parts with this team. A lot of maybes and what if's and uncertainties looming. Questions and uncertainty at safety, corner, linebacker, OL, WR.

Definitely a lot of moving parts if Schwartz gets that gig. Does he take any assistants with him? What does the FO do to correct the misses in scouting and signing FAs?

He's welcome to take whomever he pleases frankly.
