EAGLES VALUE BOARD
This is my educated guess at the 150 or so players the Eagles have on their board and where they have them rated. Some players will be left off due to lack of scheme fit, character, medical concerns or other odd reasons. These are players the Eagles should like.
As to the values…that is a mixture of my rankings and my guess at the Eagles rankings. Please remember that just because a player is rated in a certain round doesn’t mean he’ll go there. The Eagles had 2nd round grades on Matt Barkley and Jordan Hicks. Both went later in the draft.

Now for some random Eagles draft thoughts.
There isn’t anything the Eagles “have to do”. They still have holes on the roster, but can fill those with veteran free agents to get by for 2016. That said, the team would like to plug some holes with Day 3 picks.
I think finding a backup MLB is key. They’ve checked out quite a few of these players. We don’t know who they like or if there is a player they covet. My preference is Steven Daniels because of his instincts and physicality.
The Eagles checked out a lot of Safeties. They would like to add someone there. I didn’t list Jeremy Cash or Miles Killebrew as potential targets. Both are big, physical players. Jim Schwartz needs good tacklers, but doesn’t want a pure box Safety. He likes guys that are somewhat interchangeable. K.J. Dillon of West Virginia fits that description, but the Eagles haven’t been linked to him. The Eagles did have Blake Countess, a S/CB, in for a visit. He could be a target.
I have no idea what’s going on at RB. The Eagles need help there, but that doesn’t mean they’ll draft one. I think we’re all shocked that Kenneth Dixon slid this far. I love him, but I don’t get the feeling the Eagles think the same way. Duce Staley did run a workout at Jordan Howard’s Pro Day and he’s the kind of big back that Doug Pederson had success with in KC. I just don’t know if Howard somehow slides to the 5th round. Peyton Barber is the kid I love. We’ll see if the Eagles have any interest.
Could the Eagles draft another QB? Possible, but not likely unless they are able to trade Sam Bradford. There are some interesting players still on the board. I’m shocked Kevin Hogan has lasted this long. The Eagles checked him out thoroughly. I doubt he lasts to the 5th, but if he does, it would be interesting to see if the team would be tempted to take him. I think it is more likely for the Eagles to add a UDFA to compete with McLeod Bethel-Thompson for the #4 spot.
There are some good OL still on the board. If Halapoulivaati Vaitai is still on the board in the 5th, he could be a terrific addition. Vaitai has the potential to be a LT. I could see Pederson loving John Theus from Georgia, arguably the meanest/dirtiest player in the draft. He was a LT at UGA, but projects to OG or RT in the NFL. He’s not my favorite player, but the Eagles might really want a player with his nasty streak.
Here is my ideal mock based on what has happened and who is left.
5th – DE Tyrone Holmes, Montana
5th – S Tyvis Powell, Ohio State
6th – ILB Steven Daniels, Boston College
7th – DT Trevon Coley, Florida Atlantic
7th – RB Peyton Barber, Auburn
*****
One thing I’m not sure about is there will be any trades. The Eagles have some pieces that could be dealt, but no one that is of significant value outside of of Sam Bradford and that situation is hard to read.
I’m sure Howie Roseman would love to add a 4th round pick or even some later picks, but I’m not sure he’ll be able to pull that off. It will be fun to see if Roseman can make any moves.

Pure awesomeness, Tommy.
Connar Cook must Sacrafice puppies on his spare time..
Back-up MLB is a huge need. Just not sure if a rookie is the right way to go. A solid journey-man type veteran might be a more prudent way to address that hole. After that, I think the biggest needs on this team involve RB, WR, S, DT. Wouldn’t mind coming out of this 5th round with at least one playmaker at either RB or WR. Even with all the FA signings I wouldn’t be shocked to see them draft Listenbee. They spent an awful lot of time on him this offseason.
No bigger of a need than Strong side LB…. Ideally we can find someone with MIKE and SAM versatility…. When our backups today are Skinner and Hepburn, don’t see how one can be considered a bigger need than the other,.. If we can’t get a kid capable of playing both, I want the best talent available no matter if it’s Sam or MIKE
Wait until the Lions cut Stephen Tulloch.
I would think he will be looking for a team with a camp injury, before he agrees to sign on as a backup with the Eagles..
..
Think the Eagles need to add talent at LB that has a chance of still being here two years from now, before they settle for a Temporary band aid
Schwartz and Tulloch have a long history together. I can see that familiarity causing him to want to come here, even if it’s not for a starting job.
Im aware of that… But I would think he looks for an opportunity to actually play since his career is coming to an end, but if he can’t find that opportunity, I would think he would then fall back on Familarity. I’d be happy to have him join us, regardless of what he has left in the Tank because he could help mentor hicks and our young players transitioning to This scheme… But we also have Bradham who knows this defense already.
..
Think the more the Lions wait to release him, the more time he has for a team to suffer an injury to a key starter
..
I would think a lifetime starter like him, who’s at the end of his career would look for a chance to play before signing on to be a mentor, but since it’s unrealistic to expect us to draft two LB’s, Id love to see us draft 1 and sigń Tulloch as a bandaid since I don’t know that Hepburn or skinner can play at this level yet. I’M just not sure we can afford to ignore LB and assume he will join us
yes please
Do you think they’re holding onto him for injury reasons, or is possible they know a team might be interested in a trade later on during camp (especially the Eagles, since they know Schwartz is here)?
I really like Kentrell Brothers as a fit at MLB in Schwartz’ D. I just wonder if he can also contribute as an OLB.
Are the Kentrell Brothers one guy or two?
Hoping for DT and LB in the 5th
..
OT or S in the 6th
,,
Spend our 7th round pick on weapons
..
Be great if when it’s our turn to pick there ends up being a player left with an earlier round grade at these positions… But while I hope it works out so that we address Those positions, it’s never a good idea to force those picks.
People seem to be positive that someone is trading up to top of 4th round to take Connor Cook.
Welcome to the NFL, Matt Barkley!
what’s the deal with scooby wright?..injury..poor combine?..there was so much buzz about this kid. any chance he lasts ’till 5?
Classic great college player poor pro prospect.
Lack of athleticism/size. Zach Thomas clone.
zach thomas was a heckuva player?…who wouldn’t want that guy?
Sure but he’s not the norm with guys who were good in college but lack NFL traits.
any chance he’s a chris borland clone???
i read that his numbers were completely inflated due to scheme. everything was funneled right to him
Watching this 4rd is going to be torture… I sure hope that C/G we drafted in the 3rd proves to be a Gem that was worth not trading back to acquire a 4th round pick
The first 2 days of the draft we had exactly 1 pick where we didn’t already know who it was going to be. I’m actually more interested in today than day 1/2.
Realistically 2 of these kids are still on the roster in 2 years.
Yeah, but draft picks are like Christmas presents. Even if they end up being a knitted sweater from grandma, you’re still excited to see what’s in the package.
Here’s hoping we get some bitchin’ action figures instead of a 3 pack of tube socks. (X-mas was strange in the 80’s).
That’s some pretty cool stuff:

My ideal mock:
5th- Joe Haeg T NDSU
5th- Jared Norris ILB Utah
6th- Quinton Jefferson DT Maryland
7th- Tavon Young CB Temple
7th- Jakeem Grant WR TTU
Tommy doesn’t approve of Haeg. 😉
Tommy is a poopyhead.
Young just went in the 4th…
He’s tiny, didn’t think he would go this early
Browns take Schobert. Tedy Bruschi top. College 3-4 OLB that needs to convert to ILB.
They already are trashing browns first 8 picks
God I want that pick 100 right now. So many good prospects on the board
Who would we have taken with this pick #100?
..
Think I’d have gone with sheldon Day
Raiders jump the Cowboys.
Normally when you trade up 14 picks, I wouldnt view it as jumping the team right after the pick… But in this case, seems like they did leap Dallas for the QB
Brown’s still have 3 4’s and 3 5’s
Derek Carr demands a trade!
Wentz better be worth it because there is some serious talent in this draft
* obligatory carr demands trade joke *
Totally fine with this Cowboys pick
Hopefully they dont draft Ronald Blair. I want them to have no DEs to start the season
Right spot wrong player
So glad Dallas missed on Lynch and Cook in this draft. Also wanted Ogbah and Dodd, but they went before them
This announcing picks method is painful.
It’s better than last nights crap. How many minutes were wasted by Goodell announcing some player who then announces the teams pick?
..
I can see why you would łet fans, or kids announce the picks, but why waste so much time having former players announce the pick? And if you do want to let a former player announce the pick, just send him up there, have him introduce himself and then announce the pick… So ridiculous to waste so much time with GOODELL having to introduce each player who then announces the pick… WHat is the point of sending all The former players up there anyway? Just let troy Vincent do it, or underprivaledged kids who are fans of the team
The point is to make something that should only take 45 minutes last for three hours.
Lol I love seeing a team with a young stud like Dereck Carr prioritize a Backup QB more than our scumbag Rivals who have a 40yr old QB who’s body is being held together by duct tape
The Packers method. Draft QBs, groom, trade.
fak there goes Josh perry, didn’t think he’d last till the 5th anyways
I liked him too
yeah man, we need a backup MIKE or SAM..hoping for Zeek Bigger, Devondre Campbell or Steven Daniels next
If Bortles takes the next step Jags are a playoff team.
They’ve added a lot to that defense
Maliek,Fowler, Ramsey, Jack all are new starers and Ngkoue and Day to be sub players? Wooo boy
Add all there draft picks to that defense.wow
In that division, they might be.
Yeah, ONLY because of the division they’re in.
I’m skeptical. They improved by one win in the three years Gus has been there. The defense was garbage. A bunch of rookies aren’t going to transform that team.
I’m going to feel bad for Luck.
Sheldon Day to the Jags. That team is loading up
Hey jags why don’t you guys draft some defensive players, you could use some more…jesus christ, could they leave some for the rest of us?
Poor Andy luck
Sheldon Day…..NOOOOOO!!!!!
Jaguars are having a ridiculously insane draft.
I like their draft every year and they still end up sucking.
Friggin love the defense that the Jags and Raiders are building
Add there draft picks to that defense. Scary
Yeah there Defense is done screwing around, they get some thoroughbreds all over that D now.. fowler was my favorite kid in last years draft
..
colts should be very worried about their grip on the division with what the jags and Texans are doing.
..
Titans and Browns did a great job loading up on picks, but I don’t LOVE what they have done with their picks up to this point
That would have been my #1 choice had we kept pick #100
So I’m a few picks behind….why exactly did the Raiders want Cook?
Not sure – better arm than Carr, could be a quality backup.
Did you really just say that Cook has a better arm than Carr?
deep balls
That’s what she said
104 seems a little high for Young. Strictly nickel CBs typically go a little lower.
Would have been nice if Maxwell hadn’t f-ed up our fourth round pick from Miami
What the heck did Dick Vitale just say?
Surprised we are seeing no player traded up to this poïnt. But I would think there is some trade movement when we get to rounds 5-7
..
Crazy that the Jets can’t get value for Wilkerson. Contract situation complicates everything
.
Bucs HAVENT dumped Glennon before he leaves them as a free agent
.
Can Dallas afford FOles contract? They probably unload Ronald Leary at some point
.
Can the Jets even get a 7th for Geno smith?
.
Foles is getting cut, no one is trading for him. Clemens could be had for a 5th probably.
Dear gods, the NFL found a way to make this 1000 times more annoying than it usually is. I thought we’d reached the pinnacle of unnecessary, wasted time while announcing picks, last night. But nope, I was wrong, They had today up their sleeves.
Just walk to the fucking podium, announce the pick, and let’s get this over with. We don’t need creepy strip club Dick Vitale or Marine Todd to “entertain” us while they pad the broadcast for more advertising time.
Im friggin 6 hours ahead of you guys right now… Imagine I felt sitting thru that crap at 4am last night…
..
Wish someone would have kept track of exactly how much time was wasted last night by Goodell announcing old players who would Then announce the pick. Probably wasted like a half hour on that crap
This is my first time watching live this year – are we on a commercial through picks?
Last couple of picks are guys I don’t love. Good for us.
Damn there goes Killebrew…good fit in Detroit…would’ve liked to see him knocking heads off in philly, but doesn’t fit what we do..
Pats take Mitchell. Eagles had him in for a visit.
Be great if howie can trade back once or twice… Get a couple extra “lottery Tickets”
..
You really need to get at least 3’starters in each draft, 4 would be great….hard to get starters in rounds 5-7, so it be nice to increase our odds a bit adding a couple extra picks
Still no RBs taken this round. Only 4 all draft.
everyone waiting until next year .
Bears traded up to Rams pick.
Would have liked Malcolm Mitchell on this team.
This is interminable.
There goes a huge Eagles target.
Jags have the best GM?
Kwiatkoski gone.
Was our original pick too.
The Bears took Kwiatkoski, right? For some reason, NFL.com’s draft tracker is saying he went to Arizona.
yup
Yeah, not sure why it’s saying that.
Cleveland sucks at this drafting thing. Great at getting picks, bad t utilizing them.
I’d argue the Eagles are the same. NFLN posted most 4th round picks in a single draft. First was Eagles with 4 in 2010. Who did they take?
Trevard Lindley
Keenan Clayton
Mike Kafka
Clay Harbor
I agree eagles are mediocre at drafting, i’m disappointed every year.
This is a fun exercise for everyone crying about not having a 4th rd pick. “_______was just drafted, wahhh he was my top rated player on my board smh”
Casey Matthews.
Titans and Browns did a great job loading up on picks. But I don’t love what either team has done with those picks up to this point
there goes Devondre Campbell..AND Hassan Ridgeway smh
Don’t think Campbell is scheme fit. Works in Bruce Irvin role in 4-3 under, but not really a fit as normal 4-3 SLB.
Rams select Bart Simpson
If they’re going to have the Honda War Room they should all be making picks from inside of a Honda.
Still a ton of good players for PHI to choose from. Strength is at RB and OL right now. I really thought we’d see an OL run this round.
Still a long way to go
Thanks for jinxing it mate. 😉
Lots of backs. Perkins, Dixon, Howard…
Finally a RB
Hopkins – Fuller – Miller
Quite a nice WR trio over there in Houston.
jalen strong better work his ass off now
Plus Ervin will be a great 3rd down back. They are surround Brock with some talent
Lets trade for Strong now.
Like the player, don’t know that I like him having to play in his hometown. I prefer our home town players like Curry being from Jersey or PA, I don’t love the idea of a real philly kid like Strong playing for the Eagles, at least not so early in his career
Wow, Tyler Ervin selected ahead of Howard, Booker, Dixon, and Perkins. Darren Sproles type.
bad year to be a RB coming out.
Yeah, I like the selection
He is way better than all of those guys. None of them do anythjng at an elite level. Tyler Ervin has an incrible burst and very good speed. He was the guy I wanted. Booker is next on my list. Dixon does absolutely nothing for me.
Skins trade out
Scott McClaughlin has been there 2 offseasons and he’s transformed that team.
Yeah I respect them much more than the Giants and Cowboys… For me, skins our easily our toughest competition.
I’m ok if we don’t take a RB, would be happy to pay that dude from Texas that was always hurt.
Which dude is this?
i think he’s talking about Arian Foster
Oh. Yeah, I think he’s done.
Me too, it’s a shame..I like the dude
yup
Looks like New Orleans traded up to the Redskins’ pick.
Saints take DT Onyemata
What are the Redskins doing, traded down 32 spots for 2017 5th?
Finally a 2nd OL taken this round. OT Willie Beavers to MIN.
great name
Can’t get enough Beavers
Bye bye Billings
Billings finally off the board.
A two down player doesn’t help us as much…. Think it’s more Important to get a 3rd down interior pass rusher than to get another two down DT… Of course, ideally we get some kid with 3down potential..
..
But the DT we draft, for me, needs to be a better interior pass rusher than Logan, Hart, Beau..
..
I liked Day’s 3 down potential more than Billings
A tear just rolled down my cheek.
Willie..Willie Beavers
I got these arms…they’re long leevers
You’re not just drafting a player, he comes with his own song
I’d love it if Joe Dahl or Conner McGovern lasted to our pick.
Moritz!!! Come to Philly, mein Freund.
Momah sighting!
LOL Momah making the Cardinals pick.
If mggovern is there at our pick ill be even more upset that we didn’t draft hargrave
I reeeeally wanted Hargrave. Very bummed about that, considering the OL that are still on the board.
Ditto
Man, there are going to be tons of good players at 153. Watch Howie take some guy we think should go undrafted.
I just had the same thought
Alex Lewis was a big Eagles target.
And another guy the Eagles liked
Chip nabs another guy the Eagles had some interest in with Robinson
not sure why the Eagles had interest in him in the first place.
No! Dixon gone
Alex Lewis, Blake Martinez, and Willie Henry back-to-back. That hurts.
Pretty much no ILB’s i would draft at this point in the 5th round. Been a brutal run in the 4th and this is not a deep class. Think Howie is going to have to dip into FA to find a 4th ILB option.
Damn you, Ozzie Newsome.
there goes kenneth Dixon finally….Cowboys on the clock..prescott, or Cardale?
Dixon finally off the board. Completely fine with not drafting a RB this year.
Think we end up with the RB from UCLA
Perkins is one of my favourite RB’s for us this year next to Prosise and Lasco
Wow that wasn’t awkward at all.
Ravens have *five* 4th round picks. And takes Dixon with the last one.
If this turns out to be a deep draft with lots of talent, Wentz better be *really* good or missing out will really cost us for a long time.
Well in this draft we only lost a 3 and a 4 cuz of Wentz
Could have been two very important players. Or allowed us to drop in a round a bit to pick up more. Or make it easier to package multiple 5th/6th rounders to move up.
3rd round pick would have been huge
Dakota does Dallas
Ha Dak cannot play. Supertankers can turn faster than his throwing motion, and he is not accurate. Good luck with that.
I hope jordan hicks knocks Romo out again so we can play against rookie Prescott. That would be a lot of fun
And now Devontae Booker goes off board.
To who?
Denver
Gah! This is starting to really hurt now.
guess I shouldn’t keep CJ anderson as one of my keepers in fantasy football for this season
Browns take a WR from Princeton I never heard of
why does every gm they have suck?
The same answer to why Cleveland sucks in general.
lol they just called the Browns “the Ivy League of the NFL”
Gotta trade back!!!
Cardale Jones to go with TT
Cardale/Rex Ryan makes some sense… He also belongs in a small city like Buffalo
13 more picks
Trade back!! Lol
Why? We have plenty of late picks. If you want to trade, trade out for a pick next year.
Because you need to come out of each draft with at least 3 future starters, and you can’t expect to get starters in rounds 5-7, so the more “lottery tickets” we have, the better our chances of getting Lucky.., even if we pick 10 players between rounds 5-7, DOESNT mean we have to put them all on the roster…
..
Assuming Wentz and the Guard can eventually start, Id like to get 1 more starter out of this draft
There goes Tajae
Give me Westerman, Greene or McGovern please Howie. Seumalo can be our center of the future.
The NFL needs to get rid of the compensatory pick system. It’s pure fucking bullshit that is stealing good players and giving them to cheap fuck teams that refuse to retain their own talent. Why the fuck are we rewarding that?
I think they just need to be a lot stingier in handing them out.
Make them all 7th rounders
rich get richer on comp picks. Draft well so that you don’t have to go crazy in FA every year like we do.
That undercuts the parody mission. And how are you supposed to draft better if better players get stolen from you before you can pick?
Absurd That teams get picks for losing Free Agents, and a team illegally tampered to steal our best free agent and we get nothîng… BS!!! GTFO here!
Its almost as bad as the shootout in hockey. It screws my team over endlessly………..GET RID OF IT>
Looks like Bradford/Condon’s last long shot hope is that a contender like Arizona has an injury to a veteran QB like Carson Palmer… But QBs aren’t allowed to even get touched TIL the preseason so they would have to be nutty to continue th holdout just for a LONGSHOT of a vetern QB getting hurt
Thats no different than the situation with the Eagles- he is not having a long term opportunity there to be ‘the guy’. Bradford is going to need to kiss and make up at this point – he has no options.
Not really. Have you checked Carson Palmers age recently? How much longer can they go with him? bradford could sit behind him for a year or two and take over at the age of 31.,. Not ideal, but their camp can kiss any hope of “ideal” good bye…. That’s not the same as getting to be an eagle QB for two years, and then moving over for a kid to step in as QB the next 10 years
Chip gets another nice defensive player
Charone Peake would be the pick if the Eagles want to add a WR with some deep speed and ability at this point.
Bad hands, no?
So you’re saying he’s the prototypical Eagle?
Absolutely – but he has the size/speed to scare defenses deep. His impact on the game does not rely on him having consistent hands – if he snaggs 1-2 deep passes a game it will pin the safeties deep if he is the game on early downs… and if you do not respect him play action pass deep for TD.
I can’t stomach any more of these lazy pieces of human trash who refuse to catch the football. I’m so done with drops.
Unless it was all Bicknell’s fault.
It’s funny, watching these Wentz highlights they’ve been showing, I go back to that 2 minute drill on the TD catch where the WR caught the ball with 2 players on him. First think I think think, what Eagles WR makes that catch? I keep coming up empty.
Kolby Listenbee is a guy they’ve shown interest in that’s a deep threat(and still avialable). Mike Thomas of Southern Miss too.
Only 10 more picks till we’re up
Blair to the niners
Terrible scheme fit. They’re dumb.
ANyone thing that Raiders picking mexico is oakland sucking up so they can move to vegas?
Vernon Adams still on the board
Crap.
Can’t believe that guy used to be an Eagle
Jeremy Bloom, a one-time #11 for the Eagles
Well..there’s still some other OL that Howie can take. Damn Elway.
So, who is left that you want?
Judon
Feeney
J Williams
Haeg
SHIT
Judon just went.
Whoever goes on to become a surprise starting caliber stud 🙂
Westerman
Howard/Peake as RB/WR options
Chip takes the meanest dirtiest guy in the draft
He can’t really block though, so that’s fun.
DAMN YOU AGAIN OZZIE
For real.
Wait wtf Happened? pats traded up and then immediately traded it away to Seattle? Seattle desperate for someone!
Probably a guy we wanted.
Good, trade back 🙂
Correct
But in the 7th
Damn it, I did like him too
Seattle is pretty good at this
Yeah, they earned the right to assume that they know what they are doing..
..
Ohhh Jefferson… That makes sense!
..
pats get Seattles 4th next year
Quinton Jefferson
Eagles really liked Jefferson
You don’t know these things
I’m talking based off pre-draft interest. They sent Phillip Daniels to work him out at his Pro Day.
I understand that but that is different than saying they really like someone
Yeah, that pick hurts!!!! But we are in no position to be trading up at this point
This draft is rapidly deteriorating
Draft Scooby Wright! And his brother, Scrappy Wright!
Everyone is going before we pick!!!!!
You could say they Wentz right before we picked. Ba dum tish.
Fucking compensatory pick system fucked us.
Looking good to get one of Howard or Perkins if that’s how they’re inclined. If they both go before our next pick, you can blame me for jinxing it.
Williams is better
Injury concern. If he checks out, talented.
He sat out longer than needed, so he’ll be ready for us.
At this point those guys might not even be drafted until the 6th round.
Fuck you! Lol
Yep u jinxed it
That was just impressive jinxing. I can’t even be mad.
My short list
Joe Dahl, Kolby Listenbee, charone Peake, Devon Cajuste, or Jordan Howard
Tommy liked Benenoch
Seattle got Reed and Jefferson… Talk about an infusion of DT talent #Jealous
NOOOO WHY
Good Giants took a worse RB to leave us Williams if we want him.
GD GIANTS
I’m a bastard. Shouldn’t have even said that.
It’s OK. Things just not falling our way.
That RB business with the Giants is fine. Jonathan Williams is better.
Fuck I really thought we would have ended up with Perk… It’s one thing to lose guys to the Ravens, or Denver, but not the damn Giants… Give me a break
We’ll be better off with Jonathan Williams if we go RB.
Do you like Jonathan Williams?
Did the skins get a RB yet?
no
They pick between our 5ths.. We may have to take a RB now if we have 1 rated above the rest or lose him to the skins..
Steven Daniels and Mike Thomas
there goes Jordan Howard
Haha
Greg Richards, you are awesome.
This is becoming sad lol
Well, see you guys, I assume I’m kicked off the board.
You should have been making suggestions for the teams AHEAD of the Eagles.
Anybody in favor of trying to snake Keenan Reynolds away from Belichick?
No
Odds of the board being pissed off at the Eagles’s pick? 92%.
Did we get our pick spoiled again?
i have no idea who it is. I’m just guessing at the reaction.
Probably not since we didn’t trade back
lol, watch the skins slice our jugular at pick # 152
Almost time to pick some kid out of Left Field… Howie for MVGM
My heart, my heart
Fuck
If there is a RB rated above the rest, kiss him goodbye to DC. Hopefully there are a few similary rated RB left on our board so we don’t have to take one now
This is about as brutal a stretch as I can remember in years
We got lucky w/ 3rd rnd pick there were lots of options, opposite today.
God damn it. PLease for the love of god take Westerman Howie.
Damn it. I liked Dahl
Charone Peake here IMO
Or Listenbee
or the kid from Southern Miss. Has he gone?
Still there
I could see devon Cajuste too
These all seem like reasons to wait until 164.
Agreed
Could we add Dashon Goldson?
Well here we go
Another good skins pick
An Owl at that,.. Grrrrrrr
Good pick by Washington.
Now we need to get Williams.
Predictions?
Too scared
Someone we don’t like.
People are going to be pissed. (I don’t know it).
Anger
Disappointment.
Rage.
red and white to red and yellow.
poor guy.
We’re picking? Is this a dream?
I wouldn’t be shocked if we grabbed a TE. Not a NEED, but with Celek’s age, anything is possible.
I can live with Jerell Adams as the pick.
I predict a huh?
why
Ugh why this kid
Why a 3rd down back type?
Because we run a west coast system? Sproles is in his last year? Not that i like the pick hugely.
I hate eagles at draft time.
I was afraid they may take him. SO disappointing.
I’m fine with Smallwood. Not my favorite, but some really liked him. Great pass-catcher, future Sproles replacement.
There’s more talented current players you could have had for less there’s failed scat backs littered all over this league.
Yeah, And there were a couple RB I would have prefered left… Oh well, best of luck to the kid and hope he ends up having a bigtime player for us
I like it. He’s solid. I saw him as more of a 6th rounder, but I think he can play right away.
NOW GET THE FUCK OFF OF MY ROSTER BARNER YOU DUCK PIECE OF SHIT
I’m not even sure that he’ll beat out Barner.
Get out of here with that. Barner needs to be gone. The staff this year should use actual game play rather than clandestine bullshit to form the roster.
Another one…
Johnson, Cox, Smallwood, someone in this FO has a perverted sense of humor.
haha
That person was probably the most disappointed we missed out on Dix the other year.

He’ll contribute well.
Scumbag Colts just stole Joe Haeg.
I think we’re out of the tackle business now.
Blame Howie for taking a RB.
I like the RB though.
Yeah, it’s not like he wasn’t RIGHT THERE for us to take. I bet Smallwood would have been there for our other 5th rounder.
Halapoulivaati Vaitai is a fun project i would look at late for RT
I am pretty sure Merril Reese vetoed that pick.
HPV for short.
Like Smallwood, but he needs to lose the piece of shit peer group if he’s going to be this close to home.

First kid we took with Charechter concerns in a while.. Can’t even remember who the last one was that we drafted
Huff and Hart. Suspect college backgrounds in choosing their coach.
But that Jack Iguana guy was a felon who broke into homes.
Good call
Tennessee moving all over this draft.
Not always smartly.
I gotta say, not even taking a shot a future tackle seems extremely short sighted. There’s UDFA RBs literally all over the place.
I don’t know if it’s representative but looking at the highlights Smallwood has really good burst but was running through wide open holes.
5.0 yards prior to contact. He’s fast.
But no 2nd gear when he gets out in the open.
Redskins move out of pick. What did they get?
New thread
Kolby Listenbee or Jalen Mills at 164
Scooby Wright still out there too. No reported pre-draft interest.
