TheRealMcCoy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Eagles met with another slot option. Him and McConkey have been the most consistent/impressive receivers at the Senior Bowl. Quinyon successfully covered a double move by Roman earlier in practice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we'll spend a 1st rounder on the interior, but who knows I guess. Ya my gut feeling is he is going first round for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Yeah.. I want a corner most of all, but EDGE definitely could make good sense and its one of those high value positions the Eagles like to target. I think corner should be in that group of high value positions, but it just hasn't been one we've targeted early really. With that said, I do think we showed significant interest in Horn/Surtain in 2020 and McDuffie in 2022, so its not like we are opposed to it, but if I had to guess the Eagles would probably lean EDGE.

Any OL the Cowboys take in round 1 usually ends up being very good to elite. Gotta give em credit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 EDGE with one of our first 3 picks is a an absolute must, non negotiable IMO, I've been saying that for a long time. It's concerning even IF Nolan Smith turns out to be a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't screwed this year if they don't...but... DE/3T Guy like Dorlus would be a Milton replacement at end next year / a versatile guy along the line if you are thinking of a 3-4. OLB/Edge could be a very real need fast, depends how they view fit and wanting to extend guys. Reddick will want a new deal soon..up next year. They likely will have to address is as he's scheduled to make over $21mil this year. He'll be 30 in less than a year. Sweat could be a bit of a square peg but can do it I think, have his hand down a lot of the time anyway. He's bendy/fast enough to do it. His contract has the built in scale up too for 2026. You are essentially riding a lot of your success on the health of those Reddick/Sweat, outside of whatever they think Nolan can become. So there is some sense to adding a guy now to give you optionality on those two contracts and ideally make it so you can save money there for a couple years on at least one of them. Ideally you'd love to find a guy who could do both, but they are rare athletes and probably gone by our pick. Think like a Khalil Mack for Fangio, Sweat could maybe do it to one side but you'd hope the other guy has that little bit of coverage ability. The Bama boy Braswell is an early guy who could cover too. If you want just an athlete, thats rangy...way more but also early picks. Dallas Turner, Verse, Chop. If they are shifting more to Fangio principles, or even just on face value they'll likely add both. The olb/edge guy is harder to find later without just taking a shot at a freak athlete at small school or one that didn't put things together in college. It's too bad Brian Burns and Josh Allen (Edge) aren't likely to hit the open market this year. But maybe it's a blessing if they decide to move on from Reddick next offseason.

There are a couple nice role player type guys, but I don’t know how much ROI you might get on a lot of those 2nd-3rd tier players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chop falls into the 2nd I would bite but the ONLY one I'm even picking at 22 is Verse. But ultimately I dont think any of the top players fit what we are going to be doing on defense. Think FA will be a main Target. I would offer our 1st, future 2nd for Allen From JAX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagining having a Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Milton Williams, tvondre sweat rotation makes me happy. we have so many more positions of need though. eagles need to keep the SEC train moving. Long term I think it’ll lead to more blue chip guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
