lol todd mcshay is on all the epsn shows today cause he released his first mock draft...and on every show he is legit angry at eagles fans who have apparently been destroying him over him having the birds take a running back at 5...its so funny how legit mad he is
It's been forty years, how long must we suffer before this team drafts another RB in the first round?
I tend to think all NFL mocks have zero value, but in this case there is some minor value in McShay being exposed as someone who doesn't even have a passing familiarity with how the Eagles operate.
A complete assanine mock pick.
Here's my question: Young, Stroud and Levis are probably going top 5, let's say the Birds are in a position to take Will Anderson or Jalen Carter, but a team offers a shtein ton of picks to move up for a qb...do you take the shtein ton of picks or select two potentially generational talents.
I can't imagine them not trading back.

i think it depends on who is making the offer, what their 2023 1st is and the projection for the 2024 1st. if this is, say, the patriots or jets trying to climb up to get a qb i would not do that because their 1's figure to have less value. if this is the colts i do it in a heartbeat.
He should be ridiculed.
Nobody...not the Eagles or even the dumbest teams...should take a RB that high. Ever.
Will Anderson and Jalen Carter are the targets.
Need the Saints to keep on losing

the last top 20 rb was saquon in 2018....in the four drafts since then three rb have gone anywhere in the first round

If you get enough draft capital, I think there's an opportunity for a team to establish a kind of perpetual draft pick generator by drafting well when they do pick, and trading out for more when they don't pick, to the point that after three or four years, there are so many picks in hand that they can just draft as normal AND trade for future picks, creating a long term/permanent windfall of picks.
If for example the Eagles just decided not to use this Saints pick on a player, but instead to trade it out for the greatest haul possible, and then to use THOSE picks in the same way...you're only one more cycle on top of that away from having free draft picks year on year for basically ever...
so much can still happen with the standings but as of now indy is the team to target...after flaming out on getting veteran qb's the last few years and with the erratic owner i think they carry a high rape potential...the problem is they wouldnt be moving up that far which limits the price...ideally youd want someone to move up from 10-15 for the pick...someone like atlanta perhaps
of course you are minimizing the impact of your own first round player by doing that but if you are looking for the biggest possible haul thats what youd root for
That day, we will witness Howie at the height of his powers.
I think the obvious move is to draft the RB, then trade him for a million players and picks, setting you up for three super bowls. And later, long after the RB has retired, he humiliates himself in an election because of all the brain damage.

Wasting my time watching the LB's at the combine knowing this FO refuses to waste a high pick on some of these studs. TJ Edwards and Kyzir White bitches!
Linebackers are virtually worthless in todays nfl. You have to throw the ball to win and they cant cover todays TE's
also they took nakobe dean in the 3rd round last year...there are exceptions but thats about as high as you should take one.
You'd think someone would start developing players that could cover TEs.
LBs that can both cover a TE and provide meaningful run support are basically non existent. You gotta choose one or the other, and you're lucky af if you have an LB that can limit a modern, talented TE. Run stuffers easier to find.

So ready to be disappointed.
Interesting stuff:
Howie has only hit on TWO defensive linemen in his 11 drafts - Fletcher Cox and Josh Sweat.
He's not drafted well on defense overall.
Lol at Mcshay mocking Bijan to the Birds at 10
That is not happening! Zeke Elliott will be here before they take Robinson at 10. I love the mocks that have birds taking Robinson at 30, don't think he'll be around.
Should the Eagles take Jalen Carter at 10? I don' think I would. But if they could trade back a few spots and he's still falling I would, especially with Slay and Bradberry back in the fold.
Good point, he may fall.
QuoteATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter was nine pounds heavier than he was at the NFL combine about two weeks ago and couldn't finish his position drills at Georgia's pro day on Wednesday.
Carter, who was once considered a potential No. 1 pick in April's draft, weighed 323 pounds at the pro day. He opted to do only position drills and didn't participate in other aspects of the workout, including the 40-yard dash, cone drills and other physical tests. Carter didn't finish the position drills because he was cramping up and breathing heavily.
Carter worked out in front of scouts and coaches from all 32 NFL teams in Georgia's indoor facility. Three head coaches -- the Falcons' Arthur Smith, Bears' Matt Eberflus and Steelers' Mike Tomlin -- were in attendance.

NFL Throwback reviews the 2013 draft
Reminder of what a crapshoot these are
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=292-LuY6q7w
We got so f'n lucky with Lane.
That was amzing to watch. Solidifies what a crap shoot the draft is. Not a lot of sure hits. Best thing Chip did was draft Lane and his first game as HC, MNF at Washington. God that was beautiful.
2 weeks prior to last years draft PFN's Tony Pauline told anyone who would listen the Birds were taking Jurgens in the 2nd round.
This year he's saying Skoronski at 10 which makes some sense considering they could use him at RG until LJ retires then swing him out to RT. He says Howie is in love with DT/DE tweener Adetomiwa Adebawore because he reminds him of Brandon Graham. His scouting nfl comp I read is Milton Williams. Skoronski at 10 makes sense at fits Howie's mo but not sure Adebawore at 30 isn't a reach. He mentions a couple of trade scenarios. I know it's smoke screen peak with the nfl draft but this guy was all over the Jurgens pick when no one else on earth had him on their radar so I think the Skoronski prediction is possible but have a feeling Adebawore at 30 is more likely.
I think as long as Howie goes for a center in the second round everything else will fall into place nicely.
im not opposed to an OL but lane just got an extension thru 26 and he is a complete freak like kelce...i dont see him retiring for the foreseeable future
so if you want this guy its as a guard or depth, which is not what i would invest a top 10 pick on
Lane said he's retiring after 2024 season...the added years were to lower his cap hit this season by $10 million. Howie loves rolling money forward and as long as the cap increases he's fine.
he says that, then he sees 30 bones and hes like...ehh one more
rinse, wash, repeat
They can Kelce him and go year to year he's just getting better with age but he mentioned his body breaking down and he has some mental health issues so guess it wouldn't hurt to draft his replacement.
Ftr I'm on the Jalen Carter bandwagon. He makes it past 5 I hope Howie starts making calls
I hope they don't take Bijan high. That has to be a planted rumor.
I don't know if Carter makes it past Seattle
I'd be more shocked at Howie taking Bijan at 10 than I was Hurts in the 2nd and that was a shocker
Dream scenario remains one of the top 4 qbs falls to 10 and they make a trade. Howie doesn't always get the pick right but the man is as good as any gm at getting value for picks.
Yes, totally see a trade happening. Lot of talent will still be available in round 2.
https://www.espn.com/blog/philadelphia-eagles/post/_/id/33522/will-the-eagles-draft-texas-rb-bijan-robinson-why-it-does-and-doesnt-make-sense
Speaking of Bijan....
I don't see any way Howie does this at ten, but if he trades down 5-10 picks or if he falls to 30, you never know. You can pretty much guarantee it will be o-line or d-line especially if he trades up and someone tumbles a bit.
I read my first mock drafts this morning and 2 of them have eagles taking the Florida QB. I don't know shtein about college anymore but what's the thinking here - he's more of an athlete type that can run multiple positions? would seem odd to use pick 10 on a backup qb.
If AR15's there at 10 Howie 100% maximizes draft value for that pick. If they stay at 10 I'm guessing Paris Johnson, Skoronski or Nolan Smith. My gut tells me Howie's play is to see how far Carter falls and does his best to move up.
Yeah he's likely to go top 10 - maybe top 5. Way too high but he's gonna get drafted on potential. But def not to the Eagles - whomever wrote those mocks should be shunned
In Peter King's mock he has Nolan Smith to the Birds at 10 - says the Eagles like him a lot.
Who knows wtf is true with rumors and whatnot but I would be ok with Smith. I'd be ok with any stud DL honestly.
If Will Anderson slips because teams are going gaga for QBs I'd hope Howie trades up for him.
I've seen a bunch of simulations have Will Anderson fall to the Birds at 10. Then I finally realized that site is on to something. Let the fans get a super good pick they can click on and get their a little dopamine hit, and they'll keep playing so it will come up again, kinda of like a slot machine.
24 hours ago Will Levis was +4000 to be #1 pick. Some dude posted a reddit thread that Levis is telling friends that he's going to Carolina #1. His odds are now down to +500. It's either true or millions of dollars being slung around on an anonymous reddit post.
FanDuel best odds to go at #10 - Peter Skoronski at +250
Why is there not more hype around Paris Johnson? Fits the mold of the freak Howie loves.

I think he's adequately hyped. Most people who cover the Birds think he's near the top of Howie's board. OL is simply not an exciting position to people who hype the draft.
Johnson wouldn't be the sexy pick, but you can't really argue with Howie's track record with OL.

Jay, you might be spot on here. I know there's been a lot of speculation of Jalen Carter to the Eagles. But now Carter basically came out and said Birds have told Drew Slimenhaus that Eagles will take Carter if he is there at 10 (see the 1 minute mark) https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/video/jalen-carter-confident-he-wont-fall-past-eagles-no-10
After that clip is another one in which Howie talks about the most important thing with a top 10 pick is getting a "unique player."
It sounds like the speculation about Howie moving up if he can to get Carter is the goal, at least if it's feasible. And if not, Bijan still fits that "unique player, regardless of position" criterion of selecting a top 10.
Jalen Carter would likely be going into as ideal a situation as he could hope for, even if he has shtein for brains.
This is the only rumor I believe, the draft starts at 8 PM EST.
Yeah man...here's my reasoning on Bijan...
Despite being firmly in the no RB high camp - he's projected to be an excellent player. And with the way the Eagles are positioned offensively adding a guy like that to an already top offense would make it virtually unstoppable. Assuming health and other factors of course.
RBs have a shelf life of what, 4-5yrs? So you pick this guy up and add him to a rushing attack that is dominating and get those five years out of him. And then you move on.
So farg it if he's the pick then I'm down. I want to win and he can make them even more explosive.
Yeah, that's the point that seems lost on so many people - so a RB is probably only good for 5 years - so, then move on. Any player is only good for 4 or 5 years and then get a tag, trade on new contract anyway. Sure there are some advantages to keeping a core guy but it isn't the major factor many make it out to be.
That said, I'd still pass on Bijan at 10. Maybe see if I can get Ekeler for nearly the same price as a number 10 pick would get (maybe a 3yr contract with 2nd year out). I also wouldn't assume that the offense would be any better with Robinson than Sanders last year, who went to the probowl. I'd say it's a 50/50 proposition.

I can't watch it on TV. Too slow, it's like watching paint dry. Just get the updates as I do other stuff.
So far everything has broken just right for Howie. Half these players off the board I don't think he had any interest in drafting at #30.
the giants gave up 2 picks to move from 25 to 24 while the eagles gave up 1 pick to move from 10 to 9

He'd be my number 1 target. Hated him in the 1st round but in round 2 solid pick.
If Branch is still available mid-round he could be a trade up target. Otherwise I think they stay put. Not sure Howie would give up the ammo they'd probably need to go grab Porter.
I probably only watched a handful of non psu or Georgia games last year, so my uninformed mock picks for yesterday were Carter at 10 and joey porter at 30. JPJ gonna be good.
JPJ will be long gone by 66 - so they'd def have to trade up. He'd be a nice get though.

Don't love the value since they've already traded a 4th and 5th next season.
I know they really liked Adebawore too but that d line would be crowded
lol

I'd like to see a punter in the 7th
No more Siposs or jelly legged 40yr olds

Lol. And I don't care, their dog could kick better than Siposs. It's also a good point that Howie should pay attention to good ST prospects.
5th for Reagor - brinks level robbery
I'm concerned about how much I like this draft. The odds of being as good as it looks are slim. But that's true for everyone...so, even mitigated for reality, it seems like a killing.
Best draft since? Ever? Of course a lot of these guys could be busts but just to much talent on paper. Amazing job by FO.

Howie magic 🪄
Howie got good value for those two 7th rounders. I like that he's building ammo for next year's draft, should be able to mop up the rest of the '21 Bulldogs.
they signed some punter from k state...look out sippos

This is actually important. The punter has to be replaced, he's not anything like good enough.
Speaking of KState - one of my favorite college players to watch was Deuce Vaughn and he's a Cowboy. That sucks.

Now that the dust has settled I'm here too. They didn't make an outright bad pick. If pre draft someone told us they'd wind up with Carter/Smith/Brown/Ringo/Swift we'd probably tell them to lay off the pipe. It's amazing how they've restocked talent and added depth. Pre draft still thought they were the best team in the nfc...post draft I don't think there's a question.
It's gonna be fargin' weird and disappointing when they don't even win the division, though. I'll assume injuries to Hurts, AJ Brown, and Lane.
I've already booked a hotel in downtown Vegas for Super Bowl weekend.
Get em before they're gone.

I was nervous when it said that a video with them had been deleted. Crisis averted, I think.
I'm unduly pleased by this little clip.
