OT: Philadelphia Eagles: 2019 Free Agency Edition

[baudib1]

Howie is great at managing the cap & assets but the drafting has to get better.

I haven't heard much criticism of Howie's drafting. I suppose 2017 is a little soft after Barnett. What picks were bad?

 

[BigToe]

Howie killed it today.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Will never get old. Better than Miracle at the Meadowlands.

I was there. I was getting chirped so bad at the half. Dead silence at the end of the game.

The clip with more of Coughlin's reaction time is probably better.


I watch that play once every few months when I'm feeling down.

Jason Avant with the GARGANTUAN block on #51 sprung that.

 

[baudib1]

Two guys Mike Mayock told me were good right after the Eagles drafted them were Trent Cole and Avant.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Pretty solid acquisitions today, but in no way should they be deterred the from taking a DT and/or WR in the 1st/2nd.

 

[Prongo]

Howie does an excellent job filling holes with cap casualties and trades. We sorely lacked a DT and WR and both were filled. Now we only have a few major ‘needs’. Running back and linebacker. After that it’s about depth.

Also, keeps the comp picks.

It also puts us in position to draft bpa which is always a position you want to be in.

 

[baudib1]

I think they have to draft an OT in the first two rounds.

No one was more excited than Joe

 

[The Madrigal]

Need to get a RB now.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I think they have to draft an OT in the first two rounds.

I would invest into the position as well, especially if Cajuste or McGary is there at 53/57, but they have a lot of bodies. Even with Pryor sticking inside, they have 4 Tackles they like, 3 of which will be making a decent amount of money. It wouldn't shock me at all if they waited another year.

 

[Prongo]

Mosley gets 85 over 5 years from the Jets. Eagles never probably had a chance at those numbers.

Still think they go and get a value free agent linebacker.

that is a position we skimp at. I expect one drafted line backer and one guy off the scrap heap.

Soooo, the Jets grabbing Mosley and Barr seems like what you don’t do when you need to build around a young QB you just took 3rd overall.

signing lb's that don't get to the quarterback is not a recipe for success

I'm sure signing a solid but unspectacular ILB who struggles in space will make everything right as rain. Also a guy that Mike Zimmer couldn't make work as a pass rusher -- Barr is a good blitzer, not a pass rusher. Big, big difference.

I'm not sure where we Stand in terms of cap space after the moves yesterday. Yesterday also provided a clue in which direction they may go in the draft.

I think we will take the Best RB now. We need a Left Tackle badly that should honestly be our 1st pick than RB in my opinion.

However What we didn't address at all yet has been CB, Safety, Linebacker. The Jets just signed 2 of the best Linebackers. This is what sucks about having no money.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I'm throwing a Unit or two on the Browns to win the division outright.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

NFL rumors: Eagles cap space after DeSean Jackson, Malik Jackson, Jason Peters moves | Could Nelson Agholor still be cut?

update, Eagles have about 15 million after all the deals yesterday. They could free up 5.6 if they cut Chris Long.

After reading that extensive piece on how much of a gong show the organization became, it really is amazing to think that they could win the division next year. It kind of helps that the other three teams are just as much of a tire fire now.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

We don't really need great LBs, so I'm fine skimping there. If the D-Line is good enough, we'll be fine in Schwartz's system.

 

[Moondog47]

Can never predict how draft will go with runs position groups go on as well as random players who slide but it seems like if the Eagles want an OT they probably need to trade up for a high end prospect or trade down for one from the next group. After the moves so far, I feel like S, OT, DL, and RB are the most likely picks for the first 2 rounds. Safety might end up being the best value while still drafted a position of need in the first. Then kinda have to play the board if ideally targeting the lines in the 2nd. Could probably trade into the 3rd to still get a good RB. Seems like beats/people connected to org think they'll make a move to get a 3rd.

Mosley gets 85 over 5 years from the Jets. Eagles never probably had a chance at those numbers.

Still think they go and get a value free agent linebacker.

If they can fill RB before the draft, I'd love to see them move up for Devin White, but he might be a little too far out of reach.
