Joe Tippman and John Michael Schmitz are always there. Benton, Dexter and Ika always there. Occasionally Sydney Brown, Antonio Johnson and Brents are there. Just did a quick one myself and how it shook out I'd go Kelee Ringo and Matthew Bergeron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Ringo fan, he is way more athlete than football player. Would rather have Brents, Stevenson, hell, even Clark Phillips over Ringo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it is OK to take a wait and see approach, you don't always have to act like everything the Eagles do is perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is the Eagles trade up for Torrence, and the get the best available of Sydney Brown, Antonio Johnson or Julius Brents with the other pick.

And the Hurts pick was a terrible process and decision at the time that panned out better than they had planned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they make a crap move I'll be first in line to state it I don't hate Howie, but he has his flaws, thankfully he seems to have corrected his draft flaws, but those picks still have to produce on the field. No, everything the Eagles have done is not perfect. Giving Slay that extension was a disaster, and his play was showing decline last year. Giving Cox another year, not a fan. Counting on so many 30+ year old players could end poorly if age/injuries catch up. Still a lack of depth at multiple positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are some of the contracts the best looking no but we had to have those guys back. With Howie at GM he tries his best to have barely any needs going into a draft. So you gotta accept that about him. Cox you can argue for sure but now that we got Carter, what a teacher for him to learn from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to continually extend guys who are on the decline is an inditement of Howie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you expected when we had to bring back a lot of our own guys which count towards FAs, sign hurts and still have money for other things like the draft. Howie knocked it out of the park with he had to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have replacements now after night 1 at two of the more important positions on our defense. Still 2 nights left 3. It's not our money, Howie will figure out the dead money later like he always does. Not really sure why anyone even worries about that anymore. Idrc anymore about the contracts with the calculator at GM. 4. Slay was very important and still is. Cox like I said before you can argue that one for sure but I'm cool with it.
