Saw there's a lot of buzz today with the Eagles and Paye today.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Great kid. He's a winner and loves the game. Really fits what we're trying to build here.

 

[RockLobster]

If he drafts Paye at 12 there’s no way Howie should be allowed to manage next year’s draft. It’s too important and he will have shown he can’t be trusted to not f*** up

 

[RockLobster]

I’m like irrationally irritated at reading that so close to draft night. There’s no way Paye should be the pick at 12. I love BG, but you don’t trade from 6 to 12, in a draft that can be legit 12-13 deep in good/great talent and pick up someone at 12 and hope they turn in a BG level career.

Again I love him, but he’s a good not great player and the Eagles NEED a great player at 12

Are we comparing him to BG because he went to Michigan?

If you scroll down to the blurb on this subject, Pauline mentions they “view him as a clone” of BG

Weird comp. BG was no where close to the same athlete. That said if you can guarantee he’ll have a career like BG they should sprint the pick in.

Not at 12, imo. Not when there would be better prospects available. Now if they trade down into the 15-20 range? Sure, I’m fine with that

Graham the prospect is not Graham the career. Very different things. I would hope they're comparing them as prospects...

Graham's career value is too high for a prospect comp. That's just a terrible approach.

Not a worse Paye comp than what I've seen some sites say.

I like him quite a bit. I just don't want to take him at 12.

 

[RockLobster]

I probably should clarify—I am talking about BG as a prospect...but I guess also BG the career. He’s been good, like I said, but not necessarily “great”. I just think there will be at least one other player available that projects as a much better player at a position that is still of great need.

Do yourself a favor and go take a look at that draft and tell me who selected in that range has had a definitively better career than BG.

Off the bat.... Earl Thomas, JPP, Pouncey

I personally want Horn or Surtain if he is gone. Id prefer a trade back if both are gone at 12

I have a sick feeling its going to be this kid (Paye) because of the confidence in the Eagles to trade down (which is idiotic especially if they could have picked Chase or Pitts somehow). That tells me they want to go off the board... which is insane with how poorly they have drafted.. Plus the comparison to BG just makes me think someone who isn't great at drafting but thinks they are will try and hit a Home Run with a similar pick to a previous selection they made years ago (BG)... hence Paye..


Hope i'm wrong I'd like to see Horn/Surtain or Waddle/Smith..... Howie can not f*** us again .... please don't

 

[Schwarbomb]

Graham with 2 inch longer arms is a HOFer.

Graham with 2 inch longer arms is a HOFer.

Highlight reel tape on D line players is not easy to judge but kid didn't look worthy of being picked over Surtain/Horn or Waddle/Smith.... but heh its only 10 minute highlight reel so who the hell knows.. I do agree if he has the career BG has would be great but people forget all wasn't too rosy with BG first few seasons if memory serves me correctly similar to Barnett TBH (still think he's going to break out)

 

[FLYguy3911]

I'm expecting the chalkiest of chalk drafts.

 

[sa cyred]

This is impressive

 

[Chinatown88]

RIP our homie Tyler Johnson on that depth chart.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This is impressive

That’s not his fault.

Does Farley have a Romani curse on him or something?
