The Eagles traded for Darby. They signed Patrick Robinson. They spent their second and third round picks on corners. 20 minutes ago, Packerraymond said: The better wording was "building a secondary on a budget." Obviously the Eagles didn't have a meeting and decide bad DBs are the key to success. "I said it but didn't mean anything by it or agree with it. It seems to be a pervasive stance on draft twitter. Personally I think the secondary is already solved by Herb Waters. I mean, the guy is 1 of 11 accounts followed by KFC on twitter. what else could you ask for? http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-kfc-twitter-herbs-spices-20171020-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got numbers on Burnett's deal? This is the type of move that next year we might be calling Gutey a idiot, but 2 years from now when Burnett is a cap casualty we'll get it. Personally the guy was hurt too much for me to give him anything more than a one year deal at this moment in time. If we grab James at # 14, where does everyone line up then in our secondary? I think he's a heck of a player, but aren't we still one starting corner short then? I personally am not as worried about a pass rusher as some. I was, but think corner is way more of a need. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my thoughts. Ya know...we might be witnessing a trend in contracts. The seriously high paid guys are gonna get the longer contracts so they cash expense can be spread out - whereas many of the 2nd tier guys (as well as the organizations themselves) may be paring down contract lengths - intentionally and not just because of market forces.

Just my thoughts. AG20 brought up the idea of a cover-6 scheme in another thread. I think we could look at the players as DB's rather than CB vs. S. James fits that mold and Josh Jones could be asked to step up as a box safety more often. On paper, James would shore up the Safety position allowing us to draft a CB that better fits our needs later, rather than reaching on someone or drafting someone who doesn't fit our scheme well simply because we're hard up for players at a particular position.

vegas492 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I think Pettine would absolutely soil himself for Derwin James. He likes those bigger safeties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodjahs12 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Trying to find film of Josh Jones not being terrible last year and not having a lot of luck. Amount of times he’s been absolutely lost is very concerning. Hard to blame that solely on Capers even if I’m sure he’s the big reason why.
