There's no way Tennessee gets that for him. They'll likely get like a 4th if they pick up some salary, or a 6th if they don't. Keep dodging. Ok a 4th rd pick? He costs us 1/2 his 2023 salary. Go! Derrick Henry Cap Hit Henry will count for $16,367,647 against the cap in 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who you got? Aging Top 5 RB beast with an expensive contract, probably a day 2 pick but a horrible fit schematically? Rookie RB using a 1st rd pick (even if trading down to teens) who by all standards might be the best RB the Eagles have seen in Midnight green since Brian Westbrook? Yes better then Shady! Go! That said, we will trade for Austin Eckler instead, watch. Robinson and it's not even close 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he wasn't generational, and that RBs don't win you games in today's NFL and thus it's poor resource allocation and teambuilding philosophy.

The people that bang the table for a RB at 10 have exactly zero history to fortify that decision in correlation to recent winning and they’re banking that Bijan is the Neo that changes the tide of the idea that RBs being increasingly relegated to round 2 picks only is the weirder flex to me. People are just behind on this. They’ll come around. At this junction in the NFL, I’ll take the stud G over the stud RB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4for4PhillyFan Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Mile Sanders was the biggest RB fish in the free agency pool this year. Why would we let a guy like that, who knows the system and the culture, walk only to turn around and invest a 1st round pick or picks and a lot of money in the position. We might add a day 3 guy like Bigsby. But I’m sure they are close to being done at RB. They’re closer to being done than to making a larger move. Like Bijan, Ekler or Henry. I thought Philly fans were smarter than this. The RB talk is over the top. They don’t value the position like they do others. I’m not saying it’s devalued to what the LB position is, but it’s pretty damn close. They’ll bring a guy in to compete with Scott and Sermon. But there’s been talk that they really like Sermon. The best we can hope for is to either trade up for Will Anderson, or trade back and accumulate more picks. Because this top 20 is as bad as I can remember. When Nolan Smith is picked to go in the top 20, you know it’s a bad draft. And before someone comes with the “Bijan can help protect Hurts by taking carries away from him” talking point that WIP loves to drive into the ground. The Eagles plan to protecting Hurts and reducing the hits is to have him pass more and run less. That’s the Lurie playbook. Use past history as an indication of the future. It’s like some people just started to follow the Eagles. It’s crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 How many total players do you guys have 1st round grades on, in general, not specifically for the Eagles. I checked the other day and for me it was 21 players. I will echo the sentiments of 4for4, this is a weak draft at the top. 2nd round area is strong though IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do have a 1st round grade on Bijan, I would not take him at 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked when you brought it up before and just now can't find anything. Only things I can find are him getting cut after 9 games and no grade on pff. I watched the titans closely last year cause of henry and only remember like 3-5 FB plays. Does a moving TE count as a FB? https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/tory-carter/57063 Still looking for the source I used when I posted this, will keep looking. Quote Titans were 4th in total plays ran with the QB under center, and 7th in running plays with the QB under center. They were also 4th in the NFL for plays with a FB, 67%.

If you're referring to the recent increase in poorly placed ads, Webby's in contact with someone to try and fix that issue. If you're talking about an inability to post or check notifications on mobile. Try rebooting your phone.

Why would we let a guy like that, who knows the system and the culture, walk only to turn around and invest a 1st round pick or picks and a lot of money in the position Because Bijans rookie RB contract would be a fraction of what Sanders signed for on APY basis? Sanders is going into year 5, Bijan would be locked in for 5 years of CHEAP RB PAY! Asking why they would let Sanders walk to draft Bijan, that's why. However Howie is not drafting a RB in the first, least of all at #10. However if /when we trade back, acquiring multiple picks for this draft which might include a 2024 extra 1st, THEN if in the teens early 20's before Dallas Bijan Robinson is on the board, all bets are off. Then it would be a Luxury/BPA pick. Edited April 24, 2023 by Nabbs4u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
