I like Branch in certain roles, but not in a Malcolm Jenkins type role, where he's covering slot WR's a lot in man. If we use him more like Gannon used CGJ, then I'm good with Branch, but I wouldn't expect many INT's, just sound football. I want him with the thinking that he'll be used in the CGJ role. I think his versatility, much like CGJ had, would be huge considering Maddox misses like 5 games per year. He's a starting safety and a great safety net for slot CB when Maddox inevitably goes down.

Christian Gonzalez 7. Brian Branch 8. Joey Porter Jr. Not gonna happen. Eagles just poured a ton of money into Slay and Bradberry, and have other needs to fill. Eagles picks spent on defensive backs since Howie got control back from Chip Kelly. 2016 - 196, 233 2017 - 43, 99 2018 - 125 2020 - 127 2021 - 123, 224 7 drafts, only two top 100 picks used on a DB.

There's definitely a higher chance of them taking a CB at 10 than Bijan LOL TRUTHFULLY. I think Howie trades back this year from 10 and takes a D-Lineman. Murphy or Van Ness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesPeteC Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The ultimate "2 Birds with 1 Stone" Draft. 10- Devon Witherspoon- backs up the old outside guys, plays slot CB and move Maddox to the Chauncy Slot/S role 30- Ade Adebawore- future BG role at EDGE and pass rush DT 62- Matthew Bergeron- 4 position versatility on the OL. Swing OT in case Lane or Jordan get hurt and potential long term answer at RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only way a CB gets taken in the 1st. Which we know isn't happening. 52 minutes ago, Danger said: There's definitely a higher chance of them taking a CB at 10 than Bijan LOL TRUTHFULLY. I think Howie trades back this year from 10 and takes a D-Lineman. Murphy or Van Ness. Howie has traded a 1st rd pick in 5 of his last 6 drafts. Good chance it occurs again. Unless Carter is on the board then #30 is up for trade instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted in another thread, Howie has had 7 drafts since he regained control from Chip Kelly. The Eagles have spent 2 top 100 picks on a DB over those 7 drafts.

Too caught up in playing the block rather than discarding it. Below average awareness and instincts. Pursuit burst to the sideline is just average. Too many missed tackles. Tight hips restrict ability to slide wide and improve pass-rush angles. Offensive tackles with length and strong hands derail his rush plans quickly.

The guy who went 1st overall last year was more workout warrior than player as well. As far as his length goes, he's longer than B Graham. If he loses 10 lbs, he'll basically be Justin Houston sized. Regardless, he's a unicorn athlete at DL, and those guys usually don't last long. Every NFL coach is going to assume they can coach him up better than Northwestern.

Bears could take Skoronski. Some teams will have him over Paris (but not at OT) If you view Skoronski as a RG/LG, which you basically have to with his arm length, then he's probably OL1 over your OT1, or you at least feel safer about him at OG than you do about Paris or Broderick protecting your QB's blind side. I'm not sure if Howie would rate Skoronski as high as we think, if Howie doesn't see him as a potential RT as well. If Howie thinks Skoronski is OG or bust, then he's probably got him ranked closer to the 20's than #10. I think Howie would take Broderick Jones before Skoronski, and it's hard to picture Howie not taking someone from Georgia or Bama these days. I feel like Tyler Steen is going to be an Eagle.
