OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Training Camp Is Soon, Right?

[BrindamoursNose]

Based on reports, it really sounds like Andre Dillard has bounced back in a big way. That's exciting.

He should probably invest in real estate or businesses rather than unstable currency if he's worried about having cash in hand for a long time, but who am I.

There's solid data behind 3rd year leaps for even 1st round OTs. It's definitely a mistake to write him off. It takes time for these guys to develop and Dillard didn't exactly come from an offense that prepared him well.

He said endorsement money, so surely he will be doing other things with the rest of his money

I know what he said. My opinion stands.

I'm certainly not ready to drop him - that's for sure.

Very exciting time if all these guys can play. Dillard and Maliata on the Left, Driscoll getting valuable time on the Right. Herbig at G looked good with some valuable game time.

Let's hope so. I remember that pick was pretty well liked across the board locally and nationally so it would be nice if he panned out! I do like Mailata though so hopefully even if Dillard beats him out they find a role for him.

I mean, that's definitely not enough to create generational wealth. More money than probably anyone on this board will ever have but there's a difference between a guy making a lot of money in the NFL and a Bezos, Gates, Branson, etc. Like a big difference. $34 million is poor compared to the true "generational wealth" types of the world. Presumably he is talking about becoming a Bezos or Gates and not just a regular run of the mill rich guy.

Was he ever on the injury report?

 

[Roof Daddy]

Any word on the future/potential trade of Zach Ertz? Injury prone or not, the dude is too talented (and overpaid) to play TE2. FF lurker asking. Grabbing him in every best ball lineup on DraftKings I can with the hope he gets dealt to a team with meh TE's.

I was listening to this podcast yesterday. My initial dream would be Stingley. But knowing Howie he's gonna take some OLine or Leal.
Also Rattler looks like a hipster douche.

I think Buffalo or Indy are silly if they don't grab Ertz right now

@Chinatown88

No matter if Deshaun Watson is available or not, I desperately want to keep at least 2 of our likely 3 first round picks to draft players.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Rattler is definitely a douche. Just watch QB1 for about 4 seconds.

I would do unspeakable things to get Derek Stingley on my team.

This Corner class looks absurd. Stingley’s the true blue chipper, but it’s also potentially deep in impact talent like the last two WR classes have been.

I could easily see any of Gardner, Elam, Emerson, Booth, McDuffie, both TCU guys, Young, and both Georgia guys being legit 1st rounders. I’ve seen Avery Young from Rutgers mentioned too, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him take a snap. I’m sure there are others as well.

And Kyle Hamilton from ND at safety, right? And my team will still ignore the position.

Unless he has some legal baggage.

Just on that list alone you got four safeties in 4. Kyle Hamilton (Notre Dame), 12. Jordan Battle (Alabama), 24. Brandon Joseph (Northwestern), & 40. Jaquan Brisker (Penn State).

I guess we’ll see but seems like a good class in the secondary. I guess the interesting thing is with getting back to a normal offseason & full slate of games in the season should be interesting to see who takes a big leap since last year was kind of a lost year.

That's true. I can't wait for football to start. Let's go.

We need to get through draft season first. And Chuck season.

Hockey is stupid. Your draft guide ruled, but it's like watching a horror movie - it's all exciting or whatever, but we will all die in the end.

At this point, BTC or ETH should be a percentage of any portfolio. How this relates to sports: We'll see more and more of it as time goes on.
