Jeezla Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) This LB class is probably gonna be bad. We'll need to sign somebody in FA/Trade for somebody. On the plus side, there is almost no chance we don't come out of this draft with a very good CB prospect, unless we use all of the good good picks to move up for a QB. We need hurts to go like 2-0, then get turf toe that heals perfectly after 15 weeks, but would be too painful to play on before that.

Jeezla Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Is there a consensus #2 safety after Hamilton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Names I’ve seen mentioned after are like Bubba Bolden out of Miami (former USC… so should be safe with Eagles fans), Jordan Battle (Bama) and Brandon Joseph (North Western).

TBH drafting a LB first round is usually not a smart decision anyways and not one Howie would likely make even if there was some tremendous prospect, so I’m okay with it. Linebackers also for the most part don’t get paid that great and we should have some cap space next year. 13 hours ago, Jeezla said: On the plus side, there is almost no chance we don't come out of this draft with a very good CB prospect, unless we use all of the good good picks to move up for a QB.

I don’t know how many times I’ve said I want Hurts to do enough so we don’t end up in a situation like that, but I’m saying it again. I don’t want to have to watch Flacco for a full season of games though, so pass on that scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about Bolden. He could be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalamania Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 If we keep the three picks next year I think we're looking at QB, EDGE, OL. It wouldn't surprise me to see us pass on a first round CB, assuming Stingley is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with Howie it'll be QB and Edge, either we trade two for a vet or move up. If the NFL just wipes away the Watson stuff I 100% expect Howie to make a play. No matter people's opinion on it.

It should, especially if we use all 3 first rounders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 This could very well be a historic cornerback class. But, sure.... the Eagles with 3 first rounders (hopefully) and a huge hole at CB2 and an aging Darius Slay would say "nah we good". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote After the 2022 season, Slay will be 32 and the Eagles could then choose to move on. Cutting him around this time in two years would still leave over $10 million in dead money but would save nearly $13 million in cap space. But that’s something for the Eagles to figure out if/when they get there. Even if Slay plays out the entire three years, he’ll still leave behind a dead cap charge of over $4.5 million in 2024. From: https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/darius-slays-details-restructured-contract-nfl-2021-season He's gonna be closer to 33 than 32 when the 2023 season starts and his cap hit will be a hefty 23 million. The cap hit to cut him would be 10 million (13 million in savings), but like the quote from the article says those dummy years Howie added on in the restructure this off-season would still mean even if he plays out the final year of his deal we would still have to take the 4.57 million for the next year.
