Danger Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Given the general crop of Safetys in the draft this year, and our current cap situation, I'm definitely ok with throwing a bag at McKinney. EDGE still concerns me though, especially if we're moving Haason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t believe in signing more 30 year olds byard was a disaster. There’s too many 24-26 year olds on the market throw copious amounts of cash at mckinney Yup no need to slum it with the old washed dudes. We need guys back there who can grow with the defense.

If you trade Reddick for a 2nd then trading #22 you still have 3 2nds and you potentially add a let’s say Brian burns you really don’t miss a step and add a guy who’s 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there’s a chance they sign a Xavier McKinney and a CJGJ (as a nickel/safety) I’ve heard that a good amount of New York writers think McKinney to Philly is really likely. I wonder since CJGJ is a great nickel, with an Isaiah Rodgers you’re a little protected there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess from my perspective a 25 year old would be worth it. They’d structure it in a way that wouldn’t affect our cap substantially this year anyways he’s a guy who can be here 4-5 years vs the 2-3 of reddick and their physical profiles are completely different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGJ really intrigues me since we know he's at least solid at playing safety and nickel corner. He kinda covers two bases for you. Give me a safety/nickel room of McKinney/Blankenship/CGJ/Brown and I'm to the moon. Rodgers I look at as more of an outside guy since that's primarily what he's played and played well. I'd start him off there since that's a far more premium position than nickel corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even think CJGJ could be more a 70/30 nickel/safety hed give fangio extreme versatility with disguising because he’d be able to be all over the field. He’d kinda do what I’d want dejean to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 We're not signing 2 safeties. We didn't draft Sydney in round 2 so he could be our number 4 safety when he comes back from injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Stand Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Also on burns my thought with burns is at 25 you kinda ideally with a McKinney signing refurbish the blue chip guys on defense to be more like 2017 back then cox, graham, Malcolm you had these guys who were proper blue chip guys. in 2022 we really had maybe slay and reddick. You could argue sweat and Maddox were borderline blue chip guys at their positions. right now i feel as though the eagles have Jalen carter and reddick (for now) slay is aging, reddick is going to probably fall fast due to size. eagles need to rebuild their core. Their blue chip guys they can rely on every game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need some speed back there but maybe Vic can actually teach leverage in our coverage schemes unlike Desai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezla Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I'd try to trade for Josh Allen before Burns. Allen and Jax supposedly "far apart" in their contact talks. Reddick and #22 seems fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
