@PhillyFanHND Howie really is in his fan service era. I’m surprised they didn’t.

@IgglesBurner If they really wanted to do the whole “we draft good TEs in the 2nd rnd bid”, they shouldve give him 86
English
Make him keep 87, Eagles. Embrace the TE mindset. No fun single digit or number in the teens, Eli.

#Eagles TE Eli Stowers going through blocking drills:

Unpopular opinion: Give Payton 11 after the eventual AJ trade. Not fair to saddle another pass-catcher with that baggage. Also, the NDSU vibes would be immaculate.

Some might call this "irony," but that's the opposite of what you expected to happen actually happening. This kind of stuff was always a logical endpoint for making gambling so accessible. It's just destiny and poor taste mixed together.
English
I understand why they're using gambling site odds to put this story in context. But hopefully they also realize how palpably gross it is. "Let's talk about the guy with the gambling problem by further normalizing gambling!"

Brendan Sorsby has entered a gambling addiction program for sports betting, which could end his college career. The second paragraph of this story is remarkable.
English
I'd say most trade talks don't get reported ahead of time (looking at you, Justin Reid reports). Then again, we heard about Grennard for more than a month.
English
Fully unfounded UDFA takes that I will nonetheless take credit for should they happen.
Wright will have a better career than Stowers.
Weru is the next Mailata, not Uar.
English
Think my biggest takeaway from last year is just how much infighting was going on. Coaches not on same page. Players upset with one another. Can blame Sirianni for that, surely. But have to reconcile that with the season not truly falling apart, even if it ended poorly.

Jeff Stoutland says Eagles' struggles last year came down to not "calling the right plays." nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@eagles_empire For sure. But only time will tell. The draft will always be a game of chance. Majority of guys won't work out, so maximize your chances of getting one who does. FO clearly thinks best way is targeting guys in round 1. Certainly hard to argue with their success of late.
English
@IgglesBurner I get it. I generally feel it’s better to secure a guy on day 1 than get two players in a Day 3 round.
Devonta for example. He’s probably way more valuable to the team than Slater/Paye and whoever they take in the 3rd.
English
I think this can be a fair conversation, but LT Overton is not a guy you’re like damn we could’ve gotten him lol.

What if the #Eagles had stayed at No. 23 overall and chose KC Concepcion?
English
This felt most likely once 2028 got thrown into the ether. I'd hope there's maybe a third next year that can turn into a second, but time will tell. A single first feels a touch light, but leverage is what it is at this point.
John Clark@JClarkNBCS
The Eagles are expected to get a first round draft pick, most likely in 2028, when they most likely trade AJ Brown to the Patriots after June 1, according to @AdamSchefter

My shadow draft, for posterity.
20. Lemon
53. Jacas
68. Rouch
178. Parker, Jr.
207. Perkins
244. Nussmeier
251. Bernard
252. Fitzgerald
No OT. Intrigued by Bell, but hit rate after rd 1 isn't great.
English
The Uar pick was essentially fan service, and that is not a complaint.
English
UDFA is the most fun part of the draft weekend after round 1.
English
@double_deck3 Oh, for sure. They're all dart throws at this point. Mostly just curious why the team might think this one has a better chance of sticking vvs.similar profiles they've taken late.
English
@IgglesBurner I mean, in the 7th rd, it’s either DL w/ extreme traits but zero playing time or DL w/ great production but no traits. They already found a player w/ the former profile in Uar
English
Was thinking the same thing with APR. He wasn't really their day 3 profile, and things obviously didn't go great (couldn't even stick on PS). Interesting to go similar here, but at this point, oh well.
Matt@double_deck3
I haven’t watched him, but sorta reminds me of taking APR last yr. Incredible production, fell to 7th b/c older prospect w/ subpar athleticism & size
English
These last two guys should share the Mr. Irrelevant title. Not fair otherwise going to the same team.
English
Probably said the same thing about Vakalahi.
