The biggest threat to the success of the Philadelphia Eagles is 3rd and 8. We can't stop shit in those situations. When I look at it...I keep seeing Dez Bryant. Eagles need defesne. 2 Corners in the first 2 picks.


Also (God I hope I'm wrong) but I had a feeling that the Eagles like Ryan Mathews and Co. Enough not to draft a RB.

Aside from Lattimore, there aren't really any CBs worth taking at 14 over the other potential prospects there. And this is possibly the greatest CB class of all time. That's not exaggeration. Multiple scouts and personnel executives are saying corners taken in the 4th and 5th this year will be starters come September. I'm all for taking CBs, even in the 2nd, and I want 2 as well. But I'm not going to take anyone not named Lattimore over someone like OJ Howard, Corey Davis, or Reuben Foster. Howard and Davis give Wentz weapons to grow with, Howard is one of the best TE prospects in years and Davis is halfway between Demaryius Thomas and Julio, and Foster is like a Bobby Wagner clone. They can wait on CB.

And they'll take a RB, this is also possibly the greatest RB class of all time

They should, but probably not at 10. Team needs to draft a QB every year until they eventually find one. I love Tyrod, but he's limited. I'm more worried about the new staff limiting Tyrod in the run game, would greatly reduce our ability to pound the rock. Make no mistake Tyrod gets McCoy & Co yards on the ground, the staff last year did an insane job mixing up the option runs, difficult to defend.

WR/CB/LB/DT the way I see it. Need to add beef up front, and speed in the back 7. If Foster wasn't such a fucking moron you could bet he wouldn't get passed McD and his love of LBs. Best Bama backer in years, better than any of these guys who have come out, no question. Probably need to go get a WR though, or CB. Not sure the safeties drop to 10.

Edit: Honestly, I like Kizer, would try to get my hands on him.

Pretty much all right.

I just can't handle drafting Watson at 10. Take Kizer in the second and roll with it. Target Mike Williams at 10.

Aim to supplement the offensive skill side this year with so much of a talent deficiency (still pissed we let Gilli go) and then next year is when you target that big linebacker
We aren't competing this year anyway.

First person from NFL GAF to have a poaitive opinion of Kizer. Outside of here I have seen a few and they all say he will turn out to be the best QB in this draft

Out of the big four (him, Watson, Mahomes and Trubisky) I believe he has the highest upside.

Mahomes has the best arm but aside from that physically he's the one I'd take. And hope he's coachable.

By his own admission, he has the mind of Tom Brady (a cheater) and the physical attributes of cam (a thief)

"He's got a big arm" is the most useless attribute constantly espoused during draft evaluation.I can't believe teams are still drafting players based on that flimsy reasoning.

I hate this talk of the Browns not taking Myles at #1.

I hate this talk of the Browns trading up to 2(!) to take Trubisky.

I can't handle this.

I'm really scared it's the former. The one thing I know for sure about this front office is that they value picks, so I feel like trading up is unlikely.

Like I said, don't let every report get to you. Hardly any of these guys actually know what the browns are doing. Myles at 1. Trading up from 12 is a likely scenario though. Trading up to 2? Idk about that. If you want sanity follow lane Adkins on twitter he actually knows what's going on with the team. He dosent usually drop his stuff on twitter but he's been answering questions and giving some hints.

Expecting a qb on day 1 at this point though
