2017 Draft Thread

[QB Eagles]

Two teams with a lot of holes to fill.

[ice grillin you]

money doesn't mean shtein in UDFA anyway

a keen front office and good coaching does

this ain't international FA in baseball

Foster is ten times the player Jordan Hicks is. 

Jesus I can't even believe the conversations in here sometimes. 

[MDS]

foster hasnt played one second in the nfl...roughly 50% of 1st round picks are busts...but im sure hes awesome!!

he may well be a good player, i dont farging know, but jordan hicks IS a very good player.

[smeags]

sure hicks is a nice player and im not hating on Barnett, but you still draft foster.

[Rome]

Foster literally dominated at the pinnacle of college football.   The Eagles took a nice, safe player who didn't talk mean to someone at the combine. 

Can't imagine why this team never wins Super Bowls.

he would give this defense a nasty shot in the arm.

i agree you cant say foster is better than hicks until he plays int he pros but that has nothing to do with the BPA discussion as far as this draft went

[Rome]

He's suggesting you don't take Foster because you already have Hicks. 

That's like saying you don't buy a Ferrari because you already have a Honda Accord. 

Foster is going to be a monster in the NFL.  He just is.  The Eagles pass on guys like him all the time because they're stupid, stubborn, incompetent and clueless about what it takes to win championships. 

But hey, character counts!  Grinder!!  MOTORZZZ!

lol. its an undisputed FACT. let me go to canton and get a spot for his hall of fame speech.

youre really underrating hicks.

this part is just silly....foster could play any of the linebacker positions...in fact he played wil at alabama his first two years...but im also not prepared to say he will be better than a guy who is near an all pro level in the actual nfl



mcshay doesnt do grades but he released his top 6 favorite draft classes....eagles were 2

2. Philadelphia Eagles

It was the first draft for Joe Douglas and Andy Weidl in Philadelphia, and they did a nice job of finding players with great toughness and character. Derek Barnett, the team's first-round pick, is the most natural pass-rusher in this class, and he comes with elite intangibles. The Eagles addressed their biggest need -- cornerback -- with the next two picks. Sidney Jones was the No. 2 cornerback on our board and a first-round talent before he tore his Achilles at Washington's pro day. If he returns to full health, Philly got a steal in the second round. Rasul Douglas has the length and ball skills to be an upgrade at corner. I love the pick of WR Mack Hollins in the fourth; it was great value, and he will instantly help the Eagles on kick/punt coverage and in the red zone. Finally, the Eagles got QB Carson Wentz some good underneath weapons later: RB Donnel Pumphrey and WR Shelton Gibson. This is a really solid class all around.

[Rome]

Elite intangibles?  Lol. 

[smeags]

[QB Eagles]

Why do Eagles never have elite tangibles?

[General_Failure]

Philadelphia is too cold for growing tangibles.
