SirA1 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Happy with how the defense rounded out this season. DE: Derrick Brown (CAR), Jarran Reed (KC) NT: Grover Stewart (IND) OLB: Maxx Crosby (LV), Rashan Gary (GB) ILB: Roquan Smith (CHI), Dont'a Hightower (NE) CB: Patrick Peterson (MINI), Byron Jones (MIA) SS: Landon Collins (WAS) FS: Anthony Harris (PHI) Looking forward to see how Grover and Rashan perform in the sim. I think we got a little better on the Edge with Crosby and a big upgrade at Safety with Harris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tk3 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Quick team summary. Overall, I think my team is competitive to last season. I'm hoping the addition of Diggs is enough to make me a better team overall, but I think similar to slightly better is accurate Skills positions: Lost: Raheem Mostert, Hayden Hurst, Brandin Cooks, Sterling Shepard, Jared Cook Added: Nyheim Hines, Tyler Higbee, Stefon Diggs, Brandon Aiyuk, Courtland Sutton Verdict: Feels like a massive upgrade. Diggs alone really boosts the passing game. We will see how the "WR at TE" experiment goes, but overall, adding Diggs gives us a huge boost Offensive line: Lost: Tristan Wirfs, Chase Roullier, Brandon Brooks Added: Dion Dawkins, Rodney Hudson, D.J. Humphries Verdict: Probably a push. Hudson is a nice upgrade at center, Dawkins is probably a mild downgrade at guard. Wirfs I think is more of a long term loss that it was short term, as he was not special last season Defensive line: Lost: Denico Autry, Maxx Crosby Added: Cameron Heyward, Carlos Dunlap Verdict: Definite upgrade. Heyward is an elite IDL. Dunlap is a very underrated player also, but the Heyward upgrade is a big deal Linebackers: Lost: Vince Williams, Kenneth Murray, Anthony Walker Added: Joe Schobery, Isaiah Simmons, DeVondre Campbell Verdict: Probably a small downgrade. Murray was actually quite good in the sim last season. Everyone is else kind of meh accross the board both seasons on this unit Secondary: Lost: Janoris Jenkins, Kareem Jackson, Anthony Harris, Devin McCourty Added: Bryce Callahan, Donte Jackson, Micah Hyde, Quandre Diggs Verdict: This is definitely the unit where I stepped back. Both CB and S are downgrades. Hopefully the improved front 4 gives them a little help 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I think I’ve improved on my top defense from last season. 6 starters returned: Chase Young, Brian Burns, Calais Campbell, Chris Harris, Denzel Ward, Antoine Winfield DC Returned- Vic Fangio 5 new players Javon Hargrave > Ed Oliver/Player Who hasn’t been drafted yet Marcus Maye > player who hasn’t been drafted yet Shaq Thompson > Isaiah Simmons Bendardrick McKinney > Christian Kirksey Jerome Baker = Jayon Brown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so: 1.01 Trevor Lawrence - fine pick - should get playing time, gambling on him having a strong rookie season. May or may not be usable in S23/S24. I still don't love that at the top of the draft, but that's the current market value 1.02 Trey Lance - egregious pick - maybe I'm wrong, but between lack of playing time and his likely lower initial ratings, I don't see any chance for him to be usable in S23/S24. I think he needs TWO good seasons to be useful here, and that's not good value at 2nd overall 1.03 Kyle Pitts - good pick - reasonable bet to have him be in the conversation of top 5 TE in the league and immediately usable in S22 1.04 Justin Fields - not great pick - personal preference coming into play here, I just don't see him as "slam dunk" as Lawrence, and I think he's PS fodder for too many seasons to be taken so highly 1.05 Ja'Marr Chase - pretty good pick - he will be usable as WR3 in S22, with a decent rookie season he's immediately a WR2 or better here. Only thing that slows him down is the fact that NFL WR pool is getting deeper and deeper, but every reason to believe he will be a long term keeper 1.15 DeVonta Smith - okay pick - worse than Chase because IMO he's less talented, and I really don't like his offense he was drafted into. But reasonable gamble that he becomes keeper worthy I think I didn't want to talk about it because I didn't want my negative view of rookie QBs to potentially stop someone from overdrafting the remaining two 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much how I see it too. I am trying to hit a homerun with the Devonta pick (also calling my shot with a homer pick). I have a good set of keepers so taking a high upside player who could be a really good keeper was better for me than any of the known commodities. I really think the Eagles are going to build that offense to go through DeVonta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL-TwoWinsAway Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 My homerism aside, I think Goff is a really good pick this late. Also, am I an idiot for just now noticing that Cam spelled backwards is Mac, and that "Newton" spelled backwards is only a few letters away from spelling "Jones"? Are the Patriots cheating again?
