Go LB in R3 and the gauntlet has been assembled

 

[Chinatown88]

Ok, so maybe I’m wrong here. But I think DeJean is going to be the Post Safety, which will make Blankenship’s role significantly simplified. He needs to think hard less since he doesn’t have the speed to be wrong at this level.

He should get a chance to play outside Corner at some point. I hope.

STOP RUINING MY DREAMS OF SEEING LESS OF FAT NECK

Gonna go slurp on some Shin Black Ramen now.

2002 Draft all over again.

3 corners in a row. He struck at the right time.

We have differing reports on the trade. Some have them getting 152 back too. Some do not.

 

[GKJ]

The Saints traded up to get Kool-Aid, everyone doing work.

If they also got back 152, this goes from expensive but worth it to HOWIESZN.



OK, that’s the real source and it’s HOWIESZN.

DeJean has the size and speed to play CB. I'm sure some teams planned on converting him to S if they took him, thus would have a lower grade on him. Given the need at CB, they probably try him at CB first.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Eagles official account said they got 40, 78, and 152. Three swaps. I'm OK with it.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Trade seems pretty fine to me.

Yeah honestly it isn’t as bad with that added pick. Expensive, but Howie seemed certain that CBs were about to go on a run. Great read of the board by Howie.

Howie you STUD

Is AD this year's Pickens?

I am...disappointed.

Leonard Davis. That's a blast from the past.

I have been on the DeJean is a Corner train since September ‘22. You don’t need to convince me.

I just know that every pre-draft report said that the league flat out saw him as a Safety. I would guess the smart teams that understand positional value would allow him to fail as a Corner at some point. Same philosophy as these short-armed OTs that usually end up kicking inside. But given the current breakdown of the roster, it wouldn’t surprise me if he got that chance in ‘25 instead of ‘24.

 

[FLYguy3911]

More trades in the 2nd than 1st? lol.

GB takes the same LB like every year.

 

[achdumeingute]

BTW...BG55 taking shots at Dallas is great.

 

[Striiker]

If this means less Reed Blankenship I'll take it. @Striiker

But then who will eat the leaves on the highest branches?!

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Here comes the OL run. JPJ moving back to Guard makes a ton of sense for everyone.

 

[Henry Miller]

It sucks giving up one of the 2nds but I think the draft has been a win so far. With 22, 50, 53 we got Mitchell, DeJean, and whoever we pick at 78. I’ll take that any day

 

[Chinatown88]

Lmfao

RIP Miles Sanders.

I hate my life.

Total win. DeJean being around at 40 was wild.

Worth it.

We have like 9 roster CBs before DeJean, not that some guys won't get cut.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I’m pleased.
