I agree with the Eagles, but the stats raise more questions than what they answer.

I don't view things completely from a worth being picked at #13 stance near as much as having a plan and running with it.
I've read at places that Green Bay liked Jameson Williams as the only 1st round WR, but he was never falling to them in the 20s.
If you like a guy, go get him. If you want what comes, wait.
I follow you. I also hit post too early and didn’t mean to sound as abrupt as I probably did.
Yes, good points Tom. I noticed that as well.
Georgia had the luxury of not using him on third down. Ignoring that just seems wrong, but also feels like many are.
Geoff Mosher was on with John and Jody yesterday and talked about this. Good explanation here. Starts at 6:20
We’ll see

Jalen Hurts: It's my opportunity, it's my team, I'm ready to go
Whenever Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, General Manager Howie Roseman, or team owner Jeffrey Lurie spoke to reporters in the offseason, they were asked about their commitment to quarterback Jalen Hurts.

I think they’re a CB/S short right now. Next years draft looks to be pretty DB deep, so get 1 maybe 2 on the back end and I think you could have a wide open door starting next year
EDIT: depending on Hurts’s development. He takes the step this year, oh yeah it’s opening.

QB is definitely the key variable. Without that, there’s no window. If Hurts somehow works out, then they’re set to load up at DB with two first rounders next year.
Yup and having the talent and depth they have on the OL gives them and him some time. Last face it we have a 1 st rounder running second team that would start for 25 other teams!!
Ray Diddinger...Eagles beat writer for 55 years. To retire at the end of the month. Best pro football reporter ever! Good luck Ray, you will be missed.
I suspect any "under 25" list is highly speculative. But after the top 2-3, it's all speculation. Again, we all thought Carson Wentz was a future Hall of Famer after 2017.
agreed. The Philadelphia newspapers have had some great sportswriters over the years, including several that covered the Eagles. None had quite as long a career, or connected so well with the fans, as did Ray Didi.
Imagine what he could have accomplished if he somehow avoided the injury bug. Key contract year for Miles upcoming….to get the big bump next non rookie contract he needs to stay on the field. I am starting to warm up to this upcoming season being a nice run into the playoffs.Not quite a SB. Team….but headed in that direction. If Howie grabs a Safety and a Corner then I would change my thinking more towards a serious SB contender.
I hope you are right! I will allow myself to be overly optimistic about the Eagles only from now until the opener. Then I'm endlessly pessimistic.
The challenge is going to be Hurts. If he performs, then a big extension is on the horizon. That will eat into what Philly can pay Sanders. It also feels like a big second deal for a RB is contrary to Howie’s philosophy.
How did the big second contract for Zeke work out for them Cowboys? I just dont see paying any RB alot for a second contract. Heck some of their best backs of late have been retreads on 1-2 yr deals.
I agree about Hurts needing to take it up a notch. He spent most of his off season with a top QB whisperer on the West Coast. Miles needing a solid year is just not for the Birds….if they will not pay him….he would easily glob onto another team for a nice pay day. IMO….there is always someone missing that RB piece that will over pay ….assuming Miles has a good….nagging injury free….season of course.
Looks like the opener is at Detroit with the following week at home against the Vikings on Monday night. 2-0 start? It's certainly doable.
Looks like 17-0 going into the playoffs to me! Assuming of course they don’t rest the starters week 17!!!
My home is 35 minutes from Jerry World. I will most definitely be at this game. Should be a fun time !
WIP...right now saying the over/under on Eagles wins is 8.5. Angelo and the crew saying that 8.5 is no problem.
Thought this to be interesting.......
Sometimes it pays to be a sergeant. So here I am, probably twenty years ago, doing my civic duty and protecting a couple of beautiful young Eagles cheerleaders from a crowd of fans at a local ball game.
I didn’t want to pose for a picture, but they made me—my wife didn’t believe that one either. And yes, that was my gun the young lady on the left was leaning into, but she seemed okay with it, and I was quite happy.
My memorable moment.
