Philadelphia received the No. 40 overall pick, the No. 78 pick and No. 152 pick in exchange for No. 50, No. 53 and No. 161

Didn't give up 5th moved up in the 5th not bad value wise

IGY clearly means that taking a guy who provides value at multiple places in the secondary, punt return ability, along with proven measurables, and a consensus top-ranked defensive player is a tragedy because the color of his skin isn't right...which is totally cool and not weird at all.

i mean would you trade up for a black in the pole vault draft?

It's a second round pick in a proven crapshoot. Who should give a shtein, really? Besides, there's nothing about this guy-- other than the color of his skin (which would be the height of hypocriticism)-- that says he shouldn't have been taken there. Nobody would have blinked if any other team had taken him earlier.

the other cf weighs in

QuoteDamn. Hate this pick. Where will he play? Blankenship and him will probably rotate. Philly DWFs are among the worst, their coach is a douchebag.

DeJean to the Eagles BTW.

QuoteSeems like he's going to end up buried in the depth chart. This reminds me of when Toby Gerhart was drafted by the Vikings.

The Eagles traded up to get him. Seeing both DeJean and Blankenship starting in the backfield would be cool.

QuoteOne thing about the Eagles, they're not a relatively White friendly team but the Whites they do play are among the best at their position so I'm gonna be optimistic about this landing spot for Cooper.

QuoteI'll reserve judgment on the DeJean pick. The Eagles are a smart organization, along with the Chiefs and Niners; and now maybe the Chargers. You need a significant number of White players to succeed. I think he'll get a fair opportunity. I'm done with the draft tonight. Gonna watch the Mavericks.

off topic but man the nazis hate jingoism
QuoteThis hollow military worship is nauseating. The boomer-con cheesy "parotitic music" is just too much for me. Changing the channel for a few minutes to watch some hockey.

Post by: Zanshin on April 26, 2024, 10:08:37 PM
Honestly-- I used to watch the draft because I thought I could have opinions that mattered about it. The reality is nobody knows anything. People make the best guesses they can, and, hopefully, the environment and opportunity is right for the guys selected. In this case, it was the right spot for him to go. Will he be a great pick...we'll see. But there's nothing anyone says tonight that will impact that in any meaningful way. Literally nobody knows.

The reality is this guy drafted has nothing to do with any of that, either way. Kind of a shame for the guy.

I remember the days of making binders for each round and tracking picks that way.

It's been appointment TV for me since 93.

Jon Harris in 97 caused a meltdown

Bobby T in 95 had me hype as hell

mds asked me to go to radio city in 99 with the dirty thirty but I had to work

So is it that you don't like the player...or that you don't like the people who might like the selection of player? And is that fair to the player?

White supremacists are idiots. Full stop. I'm debating whether the hate is fair to the pick at this spot.

That is a bit of concern. What if he turns out to be really good? I mean, how do you explain that? By Science? Statistics? Anthropology? It would be really weird. I'd rather see DeJean just crash and burn and than have to worry about all those puzzling questions.

Do you? Unclear. IGY hates it, clear. Just seems hypocritical. And I have no idea how it will turn out-- that said, it was the right spot for the guy, which is pretty obvious. He's at the very least a great safety prospect, and has a lot of value in the nickle and as a returner...regardless of color.
Title: Re: Cooper DeJean, Philadelphia Eagle
Post by: MDS on April 26, 2024, 10:39:32 PM
i have no idea. in a vacuum a white dood from iowa doesnt flash as a great athlete but the tape watchers and draft wonkers black and white are stroking their bird to him.

the position makes sense and he can help as a KR with the new rules. whether or not he can play at this level who the farg knows, nobody ever knows
Title: Re: Cooper DeJean, Philadelphia Eagle
Post by: Zanshin on April 26, 2024, 10:42:31 PM
Exactly...so, we completely agree. I just think hating it solely because he's white is stupid and ignorant (and if people love it because he's white, also stupid and ignorant. Let the guy fly or fail on his own merits).

i think that was mclane? like you an ask a question about him being a white cb and how much teasing he gets because of it. its probably best for a more intimate setting and when you have a relationship so hes comfortable.

this was worded terribly and at a terrible time. yikes.
