OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Offseason Edition: Eagles Select 13th Overall

[DrinkFightFlyers]

They should have just drafted a RB last year instead of tying all the money up to the postion.

Meh, who would you have liked them to take that would have been a better option?

Take your pick. The signing was a mistake. Said it from Day 1.

Yea, can't give a RB that much money in today's NFL...they just aren't that essential to winning SB

I'm not saying that the signing was a great move, but it isn't like there were ample guys available. There weren't any real first round talents outside of who was taken in the 1st. Yeldon would have been a nice pick but I don't think he would have fared any better than Murray/Matthews. A better idea would have been just stopping once they got Matthews, but the RBs tgat were available at the Eagles picks weren't all tgat appealing outside of Yeldon. Maybe Abdullah or Johnson in the second, but most were pretty happy with Rowe IIRC.

Eagles are just trying to get back to their ways of winning Salary Cap trophies every year.

Returns probably won't be announced until new league year starts on Wednesday (4pm to be precise)

I'd be surprised if it was more than a 6th.

It doesn't matter, there's serviceable backs to be found in the mid rounds every year. They should have never paid all that money to two backs who were leaving their prime.

Didn't even need to be that early. There are undrafted free agent running backs that make an impact every year like Rawls. Hell even Barner looked decent when he wasn't fumbling balls in the final minutes of games. Murray was the only one who looked like garbage. Schemes make running backs. Unless you can get your hands on freaks like Gurley or Peterson, investing a lot in a RB usually doesn't pay off.

Doesn't even matter. I can't believe Howie was able to trade him.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Draft Ezekiel Elliot and call it a day
