Yes there were lots of reports during and after the draft that the Eagles were trying to jump the Cowboys at #17 to get Ceedee Lamb. The Falcons at #16 agreed to trade back for the Eagles 1st and 2nd round picks. The Eagles wouldn’t trade their 2nd round pick because they were targeting Jalen Hurts with that pick. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
I read somewhere that they didn’t want to give up their second because they did have a couple of targets in the second round (but not Hurts). However, when they actually got to their pick in the second, the guys they wanted were gone and Hurts was a fallback option for them

Anyway, that’s what I read somewhere after the draft. Who knows if it is true?

What we do know is, like you said, they wanted to trade up with Atlanta to pick 16 and a first and a second was too steep for them. (I read Philly fans saying they wanted to trade up to secure Reagor at 16, lol. Like they wanted Reagor over Lamb.)

Philly botched that draft in a bad kinda way. Lamb is going to be a star. The true WR1 that they badly need there and they could have had him for just a second... a second that turned out to be a backup QB. I’m still laughing at them...

HAHAHAHAHA - and to think the Eagles tried to trade up with the Falcons at #16 to get him........i will be laughing at that for the next 10 years...... HAHAHAHAHA

I'm already bored watching Netflix. But I still get a laugh or two watching Eagle fans on Youtube. It still give me joy on how pissed off they were when we selected Ceedee Lamb. To top it off, they are even more pissed that they wasted a 2nd on Hurts.

Then come to find out that they didn't do that trade with the Falcons because they didn't want to waste a 2nd is icing on the cake.

Brother you said and I quote. “Not excited about this pick. CeeDee is slow.” And In another post. Said “he’s just not that explosive.”
Nice try backing out of your statements because now you sound like the troll we all know you are. LVE looked great yesterday as well. Just saying

If we'd let Cooper go in the off season, I think Philly would've made the moves necessary to get Lamb, but they probably figured we'd be going in a different direction.

Speaking of first impressions, Trysten Hill got some props on DC.com -

It's typically a position that doesn't catch the eye, but the Cowboys' defensive tackles seemed to have a solid Day 1. Gerald McCoy wears his new uniform well, and he had a fair share of wins in 1-on-1 pass rush reps. Antwaun Woods and Trysten Hill also jumped out of the solo portion, as they each tallied several wins against their offensive counterparts.
If Maranelli and Tomsula can't get anything out of Hill.....that's going to be his career right there.

You’re probably right. Many people figured Dallas had just given Amari 20/yr so they weren’t going to go WR in the first with all their defensive needs. What they should have been thinking was that the Cowboys had lost Cobb, Lamb was ranked way higher than 17, and that 3 WR sets is used about 80% of the time these days.

It would suck to have Cooper in Washington and Lamb in Philly...

When the hell did he say that? SMH.....you could say a lot of things about Lamb but how in the hell could you call him slow and "not explosive".

That would certainly have changed the optimistic view so many fans have adopted lately.

how much less? look at the wr market.
I'm not gonna adamantly argue this, mostly because I dont feel overly strong on it.

Ask you to agree that a lot can happen in two years and Gallup may be the one we want to retain at that point.

If someone is gonna pay Gallup like a 1, and things stay status quo, then sure.

Point is we dont know what may happen.

Biggest thing supporting your point is that Cooper is always gonna be on the young side for his experience. Not like Gallup is many years younger.

Thing against you is the point that has been debated relentlessly around here...and I REFUSE to go down this road at this point...is that Cooper will disappear at times and Gallup has an intangible that suggest the opposite.

Theres no right and wrong right now because it's two years away and things change.

As far as your original point of dealing Gallup before he leaves, got it, but does Jerry really work that way?? I think he would way sooner ride out that last year of the three of them.

Interesting point. ITs such a Jerry move to go get Lamb though I'm shocked others didn't see it coming when he fell as low as he did.

I said I would shop him at the end of they year not cut him. Relax. If i could get a 2nd round pick or a valuable defensive piece for him I would move him because it would be more than a 3rd round comp if he leaves. The best part about the ceedee pick is it gives the front office a lot of flexibility in that you don't have to sign gallup and if he left it would be ok.

Getting Lamb also pushes both Cooper and Gallup. He works/plays so hard and makes so many big plays that if either of those two guys slip at all in their play, one of them could be coming off the field for any two TE or two back sets.

That definitely wouldn’t be the case had Dallas taken Chaisson instead. Who would they have come off the field for, Devon Smith?

I’m not saying that Amari or Michael Are lazy or anything... but it never, ever hurts to have a guy pushing you to work harder.

I think that all of the 3 big WR’s will be working their butts off.

I think it was more than just Jerry in the organization wanting to take Lamb. He was rated so highly by this franchise (really by almost everyone) that there were many pushing to take CeeDee once he inexplicably fell to 17.

And I bet there were quite a few guys in that Dallas front office that liked taking the best WR in that draft right out from under the very WR needy Eagles.

But you’re right though, you know Jerry loved taking him.

And of course Philly was like: “We wanted Reagor anyway” lol.
