EagleBlueDon Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I mean seeing how much Johnson has slid makes me happier about the Davis pick. At the very least an elite run stopper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew we were likely going DL over Kyle Hamilton, so I wasn't gonna be bummed if we went any of the 3. But, Jordan Davis was the top guy I wanted at that pick. We'll have to wait to see who was right on him, but I'm excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad I went back to watch all those Georgia guys, really helpful to watch how that scheme and rotation went coming in today I really just had a “f it, take the monster” dunno why.

I have no issues with the slight move up to get JD. As someone who watches a ton of SEC football and mainly Georgia football (because I hate them) the 3 players who always stood out to me were JD, Nolan Smith and Cine.

TheRealMcCoy Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I haven't stopped smiling since we made this pick. Not even sure I was this happy about Reagor. I mean yeah I wanted Reagor a lot and thought he was gonna provide a dynamic element to our offense, but this move really was a cornerstone for the defense for a while to come. I don't want to put expectations of becoming one of the great Eagles in recent history, but I think he can do it. I think he's gonna make how offenses play us more difficult. Obviously he's going to need to stay in that 330s-340s range and not balloon up to 350s-360s to maintain his explosiveness we saw at the combine and more important stay in the best condition he can and lengthen his career, but if he can do that and he's motivated to be great he can turn into a really great DT. I love him learning from the vets and I'm excited to see a future with him and Milton Williams. That's a lot of athleticism on the interior.

Folesadelphia Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I'm pretty happy about this pick. After hearing more about what Kirby Smart was asking Davis to do at Georgia, I am optimistic that David has some abilities he didn't get to show in college. I'm curious if they will try to find a way to add more picks though. Maybe trade back from 51 or 83, and/or try to trade Dillard (if Reagor would net any pick/s trade him as well) for a day 2 pick. But hey, adding Jordan Davis and A.J. Brown is pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I like this pick a lot. I’m not in love with it as I would have been a move to grab Sauce, but this pick instantly makes our defense better and has huge upside. Just a solid fit for a freak athlete with an absurd ceiling.

Kiltman Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Been interesting listening to some of the reporters who know what the scheme was supposed to be, react to how much Davis fixes it. If they can have another CB they don’t need to athletically babysit like they did with Steven Nelson, defense will look very very different. Hassan is a big wrinkle too.
