@Taking_Night @DZangaroNBCS I hope not. And frankly, perhaps the new offense will rely less on TE blocking DE’s 1 on 1. But it’s in contrast to Howies comments earlier this offseason that blocking needs to be a bigger priority.

@eagle_mass @DZangaroNBCS They added Mundt who might make the team as a blocker. The issue was there were other slightly better options for blocking yet they still put Calc in positions not to succeed. Until Stowers develops blocking, I doubt they will leave him out there to die like Calc.

The Eagles see it as a positive that Eli Stowers is still relatively new at TE because of his growth potential. They acknowledge that his stringing attribute at this point isn’t blocking but want to focus on his strengths.

@lawlornfl Love this pick…just thought it would be a bit later. Like pick 114. But I guess they had to use 68 since they have no more picks.

The Eagles go big. They take OT Markell Bell, who is 6-9, 346. Played LT for Miami will need the year to transition to RT. This feels like a very Howie pick.

@JimmyKempski Vic needs size…an actual DE, not another edge. Disappointing move.

Eagles trade for Vikings EDGE Jonathan Greenard phillyvoice.com/eagles-trade-v…

@SharpFootball He brings…..a guy that can’t block and is not as good as a WR. He is a more expensive Grant Calcuterra.

detailed analysis of what TE Eli Stowers brings to the Eagles: sharpfootballanalysis.com/fantasy/eli-st…

TE Eli Stowers to the Eagles 👀 converted from QB to TE mid-2023 gained 2.6 yards per route #1 in TE class gained 1st down or TD on 13% of routes #1 in TE class 6'4, 239 lbs 45.5" vertical & 11'3" broad jump both #1 for TEs in combine history! won John Mackey Award for Nation's top TE 3.1 yards per route run vs zone coverage #1 in TE class very low 11.8% of his targets were at or behind the line of scrimmage (#16 in TE class), he earned his targets & yardage

@KevinNegandhi I mean. Grant Calcuterrs worked so well. Makes sense to have another guy just like him.

Absolutely love the Eli Stowers pick for the Eagles.

@KevinNegandhi Why? He can’t block. He’s just a bigger slower slot receiver. What’s the point of playing him if you can just, you know, put an actual wide receiver the field?

@Scyon13 @Eagles Yes 2 years ago.

@eagle_mass @Eagles Hes much better and a totally different player to huff

We have acquired OLB Jonathan Greenard and a 2026 7th-round pick (No. 244 overall) from the Vikings in exchange for a 2026 3rd-round pick (No. 98 overall) and a 2027 3rd-round pick.

@CoachDanCasey Only if a defense stupidly stays in base. If they go to nickel, he’s just a slower wide out. Terrible pick.

Eli Stowers is a matchup nightmare.

@Eagles Terrible.

@EJSmith94 This has been a shit draft so far.

#Eagles make it official: They're trading No. 98 tonight and a 2027 fourth-round pick (initially reported as a third, so could be conditional), for Jonathan Greenard and the No. 244 overall pick. They'll have a conditional pick coming back for Jaelan Phillips next year.

@JimmyKempski Crappy pick. Just a big slow slot receiver. Defenses will just stay in nickel negating the advantage of the TE. At that point, who do you want? An actual receiver or a guy pretending to be a receiver?

Eagles select Vanderbilt TE Eli Stowers with 54th overall pick of 2026 NFL Draft phillyvoice.com/eagles-select-…

@JoshNorris No thank you.

This is why the Eagles drafted TE Eli Stowers Has only played the position for three seasons. Pure pass catcher. Ran some routes like a legit WR the Eagles are preparing for post-AJ Brown life youtu.be/PTorQDaTFm8

@lawlornfl “Must work in blocking”. Tell it the way it is. He can’t block at all. He is just a bigger slower slot receiver.

Eagles take TE Eli Stowers. I wondered if Howie would go away from athletic TEs, but obviously not. Gifted athlete and terrific receiver. Must work on his blocking, but can be a difference-maker in the passing game.

@spotrac How much did Lemon make simply by being drafted by Philly at 20 vs Pitt at 21?

As the #20 overall pick, WR Makai Lemon (USC) will sign a fully guaranteed 4-year, $20.8M contract with the Philadelphia #Eagles, including an $11.5M signing bonus. Lemon is represented by GSE Worldwide.

@JamesSimoneNFL What? Eff off.

If Dolphins don’t take Bain here #Eagles need to move up for him.

@TheHonestNFL Well, except for the 5 yard per carry they will allow on 1st and 2nd.

The Giants’ 3rd down rush package is going to be fascinating

@JoshNorris Jeremiah Love is a Raider!

I hope all of your teams take the "best available player" it's that easy

@Lori_Breen @PenguinsJesus Now post the video of the Pens fans flicking off the Flyers in Game 2.

@PenguinsJesus So true! Like these jagoffs tonight:

Philadelphia Flyers fans are the most classless fanbase in all of sports. They are truly unmatched.
