2019 Draft Discussion

PhillyPhreak54 · April 24, 2019, 10:50:44 PM

I've heard a lot of talking and tweeting heads today saying that Marquis Brown is a likely target of the Eagles.

Not sure I'm down with that. He's like 165.

Also people think Agholor could be dealt.

if theres 1 thing i know its that every piece of information around the draft is complete and utter bs

PhillyPhreak54 · April 25, 2019, 12:34:07 AM

Absolutely.

Although I really want to believe the report that Snyder has taken over control of their first round pick

this year has trading down written all over it.

Lot's of Marquis Brown to birds chatter out there. Given up on mocks - every position but QB and TE has been predicted.

Saw one, may have been one of the ESPN mocks that had the birds taking that DT from Mississippi State, Jeffery Simmons. Torn ACL during a February workout, was considered a top 15 pick before that. will miss most or all of 2019 season but he's worth the risk. After Sydney Jones I'm lukewarm on that scenario.

Goodell destroyed the draft for me by moving it into the middle of the week.

Between that and having a personnel department I semi-trust, I could not care less about what the Birds do. Hopefully it'll turn out okay.

This is easily the least knowledgeable I am about a draft in 20 years. Read no mocks, no articles.

Yep not sure I've even seen the first round since it changed.

"destroyed" is an operative word

more people are watching the draft now than before. so its certainly more convenient for a majority of the population, and as good democrats, you should cede to the consensus. but for certain people, the all day sat/sun thing was certainly more enjoyable.

im anti draft and think all players should choose where they sign so i dont care

Same. I know the players from watching CFB but haven't seen one mock or article.

All these armchair draft "experts" now thanks to twitter ruin it.

I'm just hoping for some hot takes we can look back at later and laugh at.

Don Ho · April 25, 2019, 07:07:55 PM

We'll be mocking this draft for the next 6 months.

Don Ho · April 25, 2019, 07:14:19 PM

More I look at this O Line, I have no problem if they go that route in the first round. Need to address post Peters immediately.

Matt Pryor
Jordon Mailata
Big V

That's it, those are the only O Linemen drafted the past 5 years. Not good.

Don Ho · April 25, 2019, 07:17:01 PM

Forgot Seumalu but he'll replace Kelce.

Don Ho · April 25, 2019, 08:10:59 PM

Damn, Mariota is huge!

The dude in the Eagles jacket looks like Spudz
