It seems to be a diversion. They have every like draft pundit saying “this will never happen”, could just be a best to do this in plain sight thing. Seems like a smokescreen that way. Pure talent he’s up there is this so so draft class if you aren’t factoring the positional values. I don’t think they are sitting here more than a month out having him written in ink on the card ready to go even if they are willing to take him. Just a possibility I too could see them entertaining. 4 QBs go, WA, Carter, Gonzalez, Witherspoon, Wilson go…what do they do? There are benefits you get from bringing him in.

I just remember seeing all of the mocks last year with our 3 -1sts and then Howie made moves. You know it’s coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking one of those guys round 1 means you aren’t building the DL/edge back up, do it too often and you are like most teams with crappy lines pretty fast. I'm on the no RB at 10, but given how much we already invest in the DL and we still can't afford to look elsewhere one season ? It has become a resources pit, that we are so incapable of having a "luxury" pick once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4for4PhillyFan Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 What star defensive player is out there we could possibly trade one of the 1sts for? That’s what I think is going on. Howie is up to something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budda Baker sorta stood out as a guy I could see him trade for. 10 minutes ago, 4for4PhillyFan said: I just remember seeing all of the mocks last year with our 3 -1sts and then Howie made moves. You know it’s coming. Oh yeah, I’d be shocked if they stand pat at 10 & 30 too. Even moreso last year think all the fandom knew there was no shot they sat there with those picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Barnett never surpassing an NFL journeymen level, some injuries like Timmy Jernigan that kinda ended him, losing their depth because those top guys needed paid. Even just like Milton not showing up most the year, makes it insecure at the moment. On top of potentially shifting the scope of the Dline. Nice thing is there is some solid depth this year, hope they are willing to mine there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thing is there is some solid depth this year, hope they are willing to mine there. I think that's all the more reason to have a more balanced approach, because even then you forgot to add Malik Jackson and Shareef Miller. It's just to many resources for the output we're getting. I think it's a safer bet to try to have a assets on all three levels. Because prior to last year if a RB was not stopped in the first level, he was getting tackled for 6+ yard gains, or teams like the Giants would just 3 step drop us all game. I'm not for Robinson at 10, but would definitely would like to see them try something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I getcha, Budda wouldn’t cost as much but would be another trade and sign. Like @UndyTaker said Jeffrey Simmons was another guy that was on that list that was more in that AJ Brown zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
