Crazy af. He even said he thinks he deserves jail.

My thought was the difference between Farley and a CB with the second pick is bigger than Waddle and a WR with the second pick.

I've got a grand total of two I like at expected ranges. It really is awful.
Have you looked into Jaelan Phillips any more?

He rules. I'd take him before Rousseau without thinking twice. I have Phillips, Paye, and Oweh all on the same tier. Oweh's the riskiest of the 3 from an on the field standpoint.
He also has injury issues, so I can't speak to those. Brugler's specifically said they may cause him to fall. He actually retired a few years ago because of concussions.

Highly unlikely. That was a massive overpay by the Dolphins, Eagles won that trade any way you look at it. Dolphins traded 2 first round picks (#12 and 2022) to draft a WR or TE. You make that kind of trade for a QB, not for those positions.

In a vacuum I agree that we got better value, but Miami may be banking on another team trading even more to them for a QB at 6. We'll see!

A lotta smoke about every team in the top half of the first round wanting to trade back.

Fun fact of the day:
May be the move to take the CB at 12 rather than Smith/Waddle
- Since 2015, only 2 WRs drafted in the 1st round have made the Pro Bowl (Amari Cooper, Justin Jefferson).
- Since 2015, there have been 8 CBs drafted in the 1st that have made the Pro Bowl.

Don’t really care what they take to be honest (positional wise that is), but here’s an article explaining the sudden explosion in WR talent the past few years.
It’s probably not going to go away much next year either as guys eligible for this year with 1-3 round grades went back to school.

I’m still dying over this. There had to be some players/coaches in both dugouts confused as hell as to who Howie even is.
The Eagles games are probably going to be wild this year. As I realistically don’t see the team doing anything to get fans to back off their animosity towards Howie & this organization.

There are a TON of slot receivers in this draft. Even the guys that didn’t play inside may be slot receivers at the next level.
Completely random, but i was taking a look at some of the best teams in NFL history. The Eagles in 2002 was a great team, their point differential was 174. That was with a backup quarterback for 6 games. That was one that got away. Tampa Bay was great but Andy coached scared. Got an interception up 7 around the 50 early and bottled it.

2003 was rough too. Started 0-2 and then went on a 12-2 run. I think they won like 8 or 9 in a row as well. 4th and 26 seemed like destiny was on their side...
The 2001 team was good too. In regards to 2003, Westbrook got hurt the last game of the year on a Saturday night in Washington. Basically killed their chances.
