It's only 50% of the offense.

wait you mean because there are two option on every play...run or pass?...lol

offensive positions by importance

1. QB
2. OL
3. WR
4. RB
5. TE
6. K

im fine with cook in the 2nd but id prefer they spend their first 3-4 picks on corner and dline before going rb

j you are the leader of the pack of fans i referenced the other day that only want a back in the first because dallas got zeke last year and they believe the eagles should play to beat dallas every season not win a superbowl

Once again...you're wrong.

I've wanted Fournette for a couple years.

Normally I do not want RBs in round one. Give me the value in later rounds of a deep draft. Except for Fournette.

Fournette ain't happening, Tex.

They have no other choice but to draft CBs with 2 of their first 3 picks. They have one CB on the roster and no cap space. They 'literally' are out of other options. Even if a guy like Sidney Jones drop I don't know that they can chance taking him with the hope he plays this season. All they have is Jalen Mills.

Diomedes · March 24, 2017, 08:24:36 PM

I like Jalen Mills.

I'd be fine with Cook or McCaffrey in the first, since they can both play that multifaceted RB/TE role, and it would definitely solidify the offense. After that, go all in on defense and maybe an OL toward the end.

I get that they need CB but the reality is, where they're currently picking, there's not going to be an elite one available. Pick the most talented player within reason and I'll be happy.

there is not going to be an elite anything available when they pick

this drafts top ten isnt elite much less at 14...at the same time it one of the deepest drafts ever (particularly at corner) and in that sense i get not taking a corner at 1 because you can get a really good one in the second or even into the 3rd and 4th rounds...that said sd is right...they are so super thin at the position that taking a corner at 1 and 2 would not be out of bounds

no one talks about it much but other than corner their biggest need is probably pass rusher...unfortunately there isnt going to be one there when they pick but they also need to upgrade their front seven...if somehow reuben foster were to fall that would have to be pick...that dood is so ill

john ross is a pimp style game changer i love that guy...wouldnt hate corey davis either...either of these guys would be fine if you wanna just keep throwing weapons at wentz

I know the drafts in Philly and all but if they can trade back to the mid to late 20's in the first and pick up an extra second I'd be all for that.

id be fine with this as well...this draft imo is going to come to be known for its second to fifth rounds...so many really good players are going to come out of that area

As far as the "Philly" thing goes with this draft, I don't care if they pick 1st or 32. It's just nice that they got back into the 1st round for a draft being held like 5 miles from NovaCare. Move up, move back, stay put makes me no never mind so long as they don't trade out of the 1st completely.

PhillyPhreak54 · March 25, 2017, 01:40:37 AM

I too am ok with sliding back and grabbing an extra pick

It's a deep draft and the more the merrier.

Corey Davis or Mike Williams would be nice at 14 too.

I'm not all in on Ross. Could be sold on him but I'm not all the way there yet.

I'd even be ok with Cook at 14 depending on what the board looks like at the time. But really the only back I'm all in for in the first is Fournette.

ice grillin you · March 25, 2017, 01:58:19 AM

im anti running back period in the first round but i dont get at all why if you are down with a rb in round 1 youd want fournette and not cook

PhillyPhreak54 · March 25, 2017, 02:32:13 AM

Because I've been a fan of Fournette for years. Love his game.

I don't hate Cook and I'd be ok with taking him in the sense that it would probably be a safe pick and immediately benefit the team.

The good thing here is the three positions where they need most help (RB, CB, WR) are all deep. So if they went CB/WR/RB or WR/RB/CB or RB/CB/WR I think they have a shot to come away in a good spot.
