Just remember this, Jerry has always valued that position, just as much as WR and CB. These are the positions that they have traded for and use high picks at. They did try to land him via trade with the Bengals. Agree, it is a long-shot, but they can create the space to make such a signing.You shocked me about Trey. We arent getting him a) Spotrac has him valued at $33m per and Jerry's not paying that.
I remember Reed Blankenship on that Monday night game I think against the Packers. He intercepted Rogers. I think he was playing because Gardner Johnson went down with an injury.
Jerry's son Stephen.
This is often forgotten. Player development is huge.
When you say 'valued the position', when was that, he may well draft the position, but not spending in Free Agency.
Not attacking but there isn’t a GM in the league taking a stud nickel CB (Dejean) over a top 5 lead CB in Quinyon. But I agree, Dejean is damn good!
Horrible? I’ve never heard that and I’m in tune with the Eagles. Completely average? Yes! Horrible? No!
I would love to Perrion Winfrey to be our Moro Ojomo where we could afford to let Clark walk next season but it seems like we aren't going to activate him for some reason. Maybe a redshirt year for him? I would love to get him on the field and into the DT rotation. He will probably be better than Jay Toia at least this season.
Dejean, Mitchell, Baun all standout in coverage.
They did give Fowler a decent fa contract this year and that was with Parsons on the team. There are a few edge rushers who will be out there that makes sense to give a 1 or 2 yr contract as a bridge. If they want to take advantage of having a franchise QB they need to cash in now and worry about the cap after Dak comes off the books.
Eagles have struggled in drafting, until recently, but unlike the Cowboys when they see a mistake, they go out and fix it.
Jihaad Campbell I read is also elite in coverage. Looks like they struck out on the 2 new corners they traded for leaving them with a big hole at CB2 but looks as if they may have hit a grand slam with the new DE from Miami. I watched one of those Baldy Breakdowns on him after their last game and he was everywhere
Since 2021, the Eagles drafts have been solid, with major contributors including DeVonta Smith, Landon Dickerson, Milton Williams (gone in FA), Jordan Davis, Cam Jurgens, Nakobe Dean, Grant Calcaterra, Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, Tyler Steen, Sydney Brown, Kelee Ringo, Moro Ojomo, Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Jalyx Hunt, Will Shipley, Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba. There are stars (Smith, Dickerson, Davis, Carter, Mitchell), starters (Jurgens, Dean, Smith, Steen, DeJean, Hunt) and key players. I think it's fair to say that overall they've drafted really well, supplemented with free agents.
They have missed on several players in the past, but made trades before those assets became nothing, such as Wentz. I believe that pick, so gave them an additional 1 after the Saints traded up the following year, that pick turned out to be Carter.
Fowler got $6m, not the $33m that Spotrac's predicting Hendrickson will get.
Kinda supports a pretty strong drafting resume.
