1st round - DE Derek Barnett vs. DE Taco Charlton
2nd round - CB Sidney Jones vs. CB Chidobe Awuzie
3rd round - CB Rasul Douglas vs. CB Jourdan Lewis
4th round - WR Mack Hollins vs. WR Ryan Switzer
6th round - S Nathan Gerry vs. S Xavier Woods

Amazing how similar their drafts were in terms of positions and rounds. You could even add a late 6th rounder on DT Qualls for the Eagles vs. our 7th rounder on DT Ivie.

My question. Heads up like this, player vs player. How many wins for the Cowboys? I say maybe 3, Awuzie, Lewis and Woods, though I'm giving them Awuzie simply because I don't know if Jones comes back to form after that injury. He's a better player at 100%.

whats even cooler is Mack Hollins and Ryan Switzer were college teammates lol

He's not bad, but hes not great. Holds on the ball too long. Botched his throwing lane leading to a INT. I mean how much are you going to excuse this guy? He has a strong arm. Strong arms mean very little in this league. Wentz is middle of the pack if you're lucky.

So sick of his hype.

Wentz is not some can't miss prospect. The media gives him much more slack than Goff because there is an obvious east coast bias.

Dak and Wentz were both second round prospects prior to the draft process. Dak's stock slipped because of a DUI and he's not a great practice player....Wentz is a better practice player.

He's going to be a pretty good QB in this league. Now you might not believe he'll be better than Dak and he might not be, but he's going to be a good enough QB that the Eagles won't be a dumpster fire for the next few years.

I'll put it another way. I'd much rather they have someone like Sam Bradford or Jared Goff or Brock Osweiler than Wentz.

While we went back to Nolan Carroll a second time, we did not do it for Chris Long.

He has already been a solid veteran influence on that team.

But hey, he is too old. We would rather mess around other fools who have zero common sense.

I'm sorry Alex, but Long is just not a very good player. His whole career in fact.

Goff was a better prospect.

Wentz had a pretty bad rookie season.

Carroll is not a very good player either. And yet we were after him like a dog in heat.

That was part of the point.

We went after Long year before last as well. But Garrett got stood up at the restaurant.

We went back for seconds with Carroll after Long had a good solid season and was a good influence in New England. You know, a team that wins.

Sometimes, you just want to throw a firecracker in the room and then run away giggling.

Pumphrey was a guy we apparently wanted but Philly grabbed before we could.

He kinda stinks.

It is kind of like lusting after Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook.

That should tell you we have a decision maker that has to be managed.
