Qb class of 2022 ain't good

this seems too soon

[Don Ho]

focus really shouldn't be on who they can get at 12 it should be on the fact that they have 12 picks this year and probably 3 ones next year...rebuild full steam ahead choooo chooo

Roger that!   The trainwreck is back on the tracks.  20 picks next two drafts, lots they can do.

albert breer is a white nationalist and a hack but he had a good nugget this AM

The Eagles worked exclusively with the Dolphins, and Roseman had to keep the trade under wraps in the two-plus weeks in between to allow for the bang-bang nature of how it eventually would go down. And with the Eagles believing there is a pretty good chance the Bengals will take LSU's Ja'Marr Chase at five (we mentioned in our mock this week that that Joe Burrow has given Cincinnati's brass a glowing recommendation), Philly felt comfortable with the difference in talent between six and 12—and also operated with the knowledge that it'd be hard to get a future first (this being Miami's slotted No. 1 in 2022) in exchange for moving down closer to the draft, particularly if it looked like the top four picks would be QBs.

if howie is right and chase goes 5...then ok. but man he better be right

i wasnt convinced he was going to take a WR at 6 and id bet against it at 12....i think he ends up trading back again and takes BPA at one of the positions hes loves OT - CB - edge rusher or stays at 12 and does the same

[Geowhizzer]

Honestly, there are so many needs at this point, BPA would be the best bet... if I had a shred of confidence in Roseman/Lurie.

Aside from Lawrence and Wilson players are all over the draft board. Speculation is 5 qbs could be taken within the first 10 picks (Lawrence/Wilson/Fields/Lance/Mac Jones)...that would obviously be great for the Eagles.

i do wonder if pitts falls to 9, they go up to get him. giants wont take him at 11 but you know jerrah would

[ice grillin you]

why is a team in a five year rebuild auto taking a pass catcher much less trading up for one... don't get the tunnel vision obsession amongst so many people

at six the way the draft is going to fall I understood it at least...but like beat writers right after the trade back were writing articles breaking down what wr could be at 12

[MDS]

because pitts is potentially special

the eagles have zero great players. i get it they need *a lot*

also hes from philly

[ice grillin you]

Sewell is potentially special so is Rousseau and at a more important positions

I just don't get the thinking the eagles HAVE to take a pass catcher...everyone is acting like they have to take one with their first pick or fold  the franchise

clearly howie agrees or he wouldn't have moved out of six

[SD]

Every position is a position of need so bpa should prevail. Fans generally get more excited over offensive skill players than they do other positions. Howie will probably draft someone with a mid 2nd grade because he's still not cured of the smartest guy in the room syndrome

[Eagaholic]

Mac Jones seems to be moving up pretty quick and 5 QBs could come off before the Eagles pick at 12. I see 3 non-qb elite prospects and 3 that aren't very far behind, just with a little lower floor. So, it's possible eagles could miss out on one of them by one spot at 12. Denver would be a good trade up target at 9 if they don't enter the quarterback derby since dallas and nyg draft at 10 and 11. Maybe jerruh would be willing to return the favor from last year with a trade but doubt it, especially without charging a premium. It would restore a little faith in Howie if he went up a couple slots and still came away with a top tier player after his haul trading down, maybe even one he would have taken at 6.       

[Diomedes]

I just looked it up.  The draft is a month away.   Plenty of time for all of this to change and change again.  Pitts to fall, Whozeewhatsit to rise, blah blah blah.

A whole month before we get a genuine WTF moment, like when the words "Jalen Hurts" were uttered last year.
