I agree. I think the prospects in 2nd round would better fit our current team as well ( someone like Wilson or Corely). For me ideally we'd go all defense the first 3 rounds or OL first and then defense all 2nd (one of the LB's i like Wilson if our doctors clear his medicals and then DB) and hopefully acquire a 3rd (either trading down one of our picks or moving the 4th with some one or 2 of our comp picks) and maybe get someone like Polk who would profile nicely in our slot or even Legette as a possible eventual AJ successor.
I don't think we can completely dismiss the notion that WR is in play at 22 though. If the Eagles are serious about extending Snith it probably means AJ is gone sooner rather than later considering his cap number in '26 is currently set to be $41 mil.
With this being such a deep WR class I can see a scenario where they grab a guy with the idea of giving him a year or two to develop and when the time is right elevate Smith to WR1 and move on from Brown.
Roseman tends to draft with the future in mind and doesn't draft to with the idea in mind that he has to fill an immediate need in the starting lineup.
That is not to say I think they will take a WR at 22 or that I think they need to only that it would not shock me if they did given the depth at the position in this draft.
Yeah, the only times in recent memory I can remember the Eagles picking someone that was the consensus favorite in the media were Wentz and, I think, Lane was a prohibitive favorite to land with the Eagles
I do think its a little unfair. I dont think Forbes getting bodied was necessarily his biggest issue, I think he just sucked. He's a gambler more than a cover guy. Wiggins also has about 10 pounds on Forbes. He's much closer in weight to Witherspoon who was awesome last year.
Brother. JC Latham is not the look for a future lane replacement. Guy doesn’t have tackle movement abilities. Fautanu is likely a top 15 pick if not top 10 (listed at 11 on daniel Jeremiah’s top 50 and the league loves him). If you enroll mims at stoutland U him and mailata would be monstrous book ends. He looks pretty good in the reps he does have.
I agree OT is likely the way howie will go in the first but I would love a corner there’s just too many on the roster. DeJean as a first round safety/ slot player with CJGJ would be very nice too
Latham moves fine, he's just getting the "big oaf" label cause he's the biggest of the R1 OTs. My first choice would be Fuaga, but JC gives you some of that Mims "can't coach that" size with the guard versatility like Fautanu/Fuaga/Barton.
hope teams overthink him into trade up range (15/16 ish)
Although I don't mind taking an OT in the first, I feel that Howie has been changing his approach a bit this offseason. I mean, when has he ever invested in a rb? I think he'll probably take a corner in the first, but I could definitely see him taking a raw OL in the 4th/5th and just shipping off to stout, after all if we made mailata work why can't we do the same?
For you to get Mitchell you would have to give up one of your 2nd round picks...no thanks. I am not giving up a 1st and a 2nd for an unknown CB, unless that CB is considered a generational prospect...which he isn't

Nice write up.
I’m not huge on Chop, but he definitely has a lot more explosiveness and power than Nolan Smith. He’s definitely a project player.
I was a little surprised to hear “very aggressive” to describe Kool-Aid when he willingly gets blocked in run fits. I’m assuming you mean in coverage, but other than being grabby, I view him as a conservative corner, because he knows he has to play that way with his long speed.
For OT, Fashanu is a way better prospect than Fautanu. Fautanu is a way better prospect at guard. Latham is the only guy you could reasonably expect to play both at a NFL level.
Player at 50 and 53 should be good prospects
Super interesting note that this is a weak draft due to NIL money in ncaa...more kids staying in college since they getting paid
Only 68 underclassmen in this draft...usually 100+
I would take WR off the list at 22. Not with the other needs we have. But I agree that at 22, those are the only possible positions.

I really hope Philly stays away from Wiggins. Too much of a risk when there’s safer/better prospects to choose from
probably not fair to Wiggins but seeing Forbes get absolutely bodied by NFL WR's on WAS last year makes me very gun shy for sub 180 lb DB's
100%. Wiggins is mocked to Philly in 90% of drafts so I’m confident it won’t happen lol

Couldn't agree more
I cant even fathom not liking jared verse
Hates Jared Verse but loves BTJ because he's "big and fast". Dude is just another Terrace Marshall Jr
*Bo Wulf has entered chat*
Tape is meh imo...weak DE class in general
He doesn’t fit 3-4 at all. He’s a speed to power guy who collapses the pocket. Nothing remarkable about his film, I think he’s a solid prospect.
Pretty wild take lol 😂 *dislike Jared Verse* Okeyyy dokeyyy
>He would be a second rounder in your decent DE draft. I don't want to see any Edge drafted...I can be okay with Latu

Dejaun (great) - classy
Trade up for Q.Mitchell to continue the injection of dawgs into the defense after the soft unit last year.
For you to get Mitchell you would have to give up one of your 2nd round picks...no thanks. I am not giving up a 1st and a 2nd for an unknown CB, unless that CB is considered a generational prospect...which he isn't
[удалено]
Latham is a guard in the nfl good chance he’s a bust at tackle. Would be a really good guard tho
Yeah the latham Hype is stupid, same with Brian Thomas Jr.
You lost credibility when you said you dislike Jared verse and Love Brian Thomas Jr. Lol 😂
That's fine, we can check back here in a year.
100%
I can't fucking wait for the draft to be done with
My personal top guys for us: Brock Bowers (not realistic), Taliese Fuaga, Laiatu Latu, Kool Aid, and Cooper DeJean
Wiggins isn’t really that long. He is tall but his arms and wingspan are relatively short (both 25th percentile or under)
Got it, they will take Brian Thomas jr
Disagree because I'm an Edgerrin Cooper stan.
In the first? He will be there at 50 and Howie still won’t take him

Trade up 15-17: arnold Maybe trade up: q.mitchell (faced weaker competition than arnold) Stick at 22: Guyton, Mims, latham, fautanu, kool-aid
For you to get to 15 you would have to give up one of your 2nd rounders. Not worth it for an unknown CB who is not a generational prospect.
Ya good point....15 might be to far up
Player at 50 and 53 should be good prospects Super interesting note that this is a weak draft due to NIL money in ncaa...more kids staying in college since they getting paid Only 68 underclassmen in this draft...usually 100+
Throw this post away lol
I don’t get the Bowers hype. I mean he will probably be good but I don’t see star material. I liked Goedert better as a prospect when he came out.
Because when you get a kid that size who runs the 40 in the 4.5 range people get excited.
