Getting a #2 for a 32yo player who’s been out of football for a year seems like something WAS would put out. Pick’s too high for a guy who might be anywhere from done to just OK for a year or 2.
I don't believe anything right now as I think everything's a smokescreen for the benefit of some player or team. But its fun to speculate if its real.
Still, a first round pick being unloaded after a year has “buyer beware” written all over it.
Maybe. But it's still 2 1sts for pick 11. The Jets also seem torn between ol and wr. If they could get both in the first round that's pretty huge.
They’re both questionable 1 year band aids though. Eagles fans have been spoiled by outstanding T play for 20 years going back to Thomas / Runyan. If they know Dillard isn’t the answer, then fixing that has higher priority than WR.
You think he's gonna play anywhere he goes without a new deal? I mean, never say never, but gotta think it'd cost $17-18M for multiple years to get him into camp.
The one image I still remember that sticks out is a still of him, I think from TC last year and he appeared to be um, very emotional. So I dunno, after that I read/felt it was piled on possibly that maybe he isn't tough/maybe he doesn't "love" football. I dunno. I like his talent and think he will be a fine pro. Maybe solid, not Pro Bowl level, but solid.
Would explain the first report of Eagles interest in Trent Williams from Washington though. I know Mike G said people he talked to denied it but this would definitely be a surprise move up Howie's Ally. I just got home so I'll check around.
I'm trying to ask around right now as I do laundry to see if anyone knows anything. Contacted my Co worker who's son is one of the coaches (Not sure if she's gonna have a lot to say on it, contacted a buddy of mine in HS who works in the media, and contacted some local people I know from Anthony Betch's camps over the summer I've helped out at to see if anyone has heard anything. Last I had heard was the Team was interested in a trade back more so then a trade up. This would be somewhat of a last minute development from what I was being told.
That seems weird too though, given how accommodating they’ve been with Brandon Brooks’ anxiety stuff. Dunno, the whole idea just seems off to me.
Thats not good at all if that is what's being said. That's usually code for Mental and or Maturity sometimes both issues with a player. I was down on Dillard last year as the pick to begin with and if this stuff is true and we got to get rid of him I'm gonna be fuming as there were 2-3 LT I thought were better then him last year to begin with. And even though I didn't like the pick I was still hoping for success since he's suppose to protect my Favorite player and our Franchise QB's blindside.
It's Phillip I'm friends with, not Chris. And they fired him so don't think he'll have too much info on it haha
I want Goodwin. But there's no way that would 'replace' taking a 1st round WR. Maybe Goodwin and we still draft a 2nd round one.
This is when I became a Goodwin fan. He really saw this kid.
Yeah my bad I meant Phillips. I was curious maybe he still had some connections there telling him stuff. Where did he end up btw?
Nowhere as of now. I just talked to them a few days ago actually and they stayed living in Philly. Didn't want to bring up Eagles stuff as it's kind of still a sore spot.
Thanks for sharing that. He has another new fan with me, traded to Eagles or not.
Yeah thats what I just got. Told the rumor was started on Dillard after the Trent Williams Wash Post story came out. Thinks Jets are trying to Drum up interest in their pick as well. However that isn't to say the team is afraid to correct a mistake. Names dropped as possible gone during the draft were Dougles and Jones.
Kind of how I feel. Wouldn’t mind a couple spot move up at a low cost, but otherwise stay or even move back is fine.
Jeudy/lamb both could be overall number 1
The only one (subject to how this may have been edited) to not just walk by and "Hey, Buddy!" him.LTsharks said:
I don't either but I took it. I actually like this one despite missing on a few guys I wanted. I got the needs and added depth. The 3rd WR can also play special teams and is a deep threat. Theres the Mac Hollins replacement. Added a big back. took a flyer on a CB in Hall who would've gone higher but had an injury. Got two good WRs in 1st two picks. Got an OLB who can play DE, Took a flyer on a local kid in Runyan SR at OT and I really like Kenny Robinson.
