Would be cool to get him but I doubt he comes too. The story I just read leads me to believe he needs to get his butt here and fix our team for influencing some iffy picks What connection do he and Howie have and how has he been influencing our draft picks? If he actually has been influencing our draft picks, that should another nail in the coffin for Howie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course a college coach is going to hype up their guys, the higher their players get drafted the more appealing it is for new young talent they're recruiting. Even if this is the case, Riley's under no obligation to do anything for us. I mean I know he's has no obligation. Was jokingly saying he needs to come fix us.

He suppose helped with the previous drafts too Oddly I can't find it. Was just searching for it on these forums.

The link also said Howie liked Jefferson and someone else but I guess Riley's convo talked him into what we picked. It's hard to believe and not at the same time lol I can see Howie being that dumb but then I think he can't really be that dumb can he?

EaglesFlySBChampsHigh Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Roseman and the Eagles have cultivated a good relationship with Riley, who is one of the nation’s top college coaches. Two years ago, the Eagles were considering drafting Oklahoma offensive tackle Orlando Brown in the second round, but viewed him as more of a right tackle than a left tackle, and they weren’t really interested in moving Lane Johnson back to the left side at this stage of his career. Riley agreed with their assessment of Brown and the Eagles ended up drafting tight end Dallas Goedert, who has quickly emerged as one of the league’s top all-around tight ends. [...] Riley even had some influence in the Eagles’ decision to take TCU wide receiver Jalen Reagor in the first round. Riley had recruited Reagor when he was a high school star at Waxahachie (Texas) High School. His team also played against him for three years in the Big 12. He spoke glowingly of him to Eagles scouts when they talked to him about [Jalen] Hurts. He indicated that Reagor would’ve been a 100-catch-a-year receiver in Oklahoma’s offense. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bleedinggreennation.com/platform/amp/2021/1/12/22226317/lincoln-riley-eagles-news-nfl-oklahoma-ou-head-coach-doug-pederson-vacancy-job-philadelphia-football Edited January 12, 2021 by EaglesFlySBChampsHigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should stay away from Riley - isn't Orlando Brown playing pretty good as the Ravens LT right now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just sounds like regular scouting. I guess your scouts just put more faith in his advice?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
