They never were
I think that's the dilemma. They don't want to take him but if they are there at 10....and the best guy available is a cornerback? They want to get out from under that 10 area to where ?BIjan isn't even a choice.

Has to be for Carter. Boy, oh boy. Dallas already has the worst DT position in the division. This would just make the gap even wider.

Drafting a day one starter at LG is imperative. There is an arms race going on in the division at DT. I hope Dallas starts to not only improve the OL, but copies the other teams and gets serious about the DT spot as well.

No I know that.

Maybe now the media can stop talking about it lol
They can't because where there's smoke there's fire. I think there is a chance they take Bijan or at the very least trade down. I know that's what Philly fans want or a large part of them do.

I mean the Eagles had Hargreves, Fletcher Cox, etc. last year and sucked against the run.

Jalen Carter sounds like a nut job. I'm not sure why the Eagles would trade up for a guy like that. I get the talent but that's not a guy Howie would go for. But who knows.

Was Jordan Davis bad last year? Carter to the Eagles terrifies me regardless but would be kinda weird to use premium picks to trade up to grab a DT after just having used a top 15 pick on a DT last year

Yeah, losing Hargrave and about to lose Fletcher Cox… they need to do something at DT because Jordan Davis ain’t it.

Davis wasn't good. I mean he was a rookie.

They also have Milton Williams. I get why you take Carter. I don't get why you trade up for him though. Trading up- for a DT? Doesn't sound smart.

We shall see. Every front office thinks they do better background work than every other team.

Yeah Davis was another guy hyped up. Him and Nakobe Dean....its still early but I think they and others got caught up in Davis's measurable.

They have Milton Williams too and I liked him coming into the draft....not sure where he sits on their depth chart now. That DT Group doesn't look nearly as good as hyped.

Not trading up for one that has that many question marks.

Moving up in the top 10 is never ever cheap. They’ll have to pay a lot for it and if Carter even gets close to a bust it would be a very, very bad trade.
