unless jalen carter drops, pretty sure this is our pick if we stay at 10

i think it's either nolan smith, gonzalez or witherspoon.. and in that order

but i dont know what exactly we'd ask from our CBs.. but gonzalez has the most upside, only 20 and could use the year to learn

just dont see how the other guys around that range would really fit us.. i guess skoronski would be high end guard.. but he's not what we'd want out of tackle

The Philly Special episode on the #10 pick is so good.

Essentially, the top 3 most likely scenarios are: Jalen Carter, Devon Witherspoon or Christian Gonzalez

Or trade back being equally as likely. They need day 2 picks to manage the cap once Jalens extension hits

Howies been killing it getting these cheap young players with starting experience

Yup.. highly recommend everyone here listen

Nolan smith is that 4th guy

But lack of outside depth, upside plus how the contracts are structured for slay and James I could easily see is going Gonzalez and giving him essentially a year with all his tools plus he gives us depth

but i guess we’re going find out quick what new DC wants if we have a curve outside of the expected guys

Any concerns with his size? Tested well but his size scores are meh, however he is close to Reddick. He should probably be classified as a OLB rather than a DE. He does look small rushing the edge on tape but man is he a good player

 

[af1 1982]

Here’s his numbers as a LB. I imagine that he’ll play a similar role to Reddick and Micah Parsons:

Nolan Smith is a LB prospect in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 9.98 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 5 out of 2591 LB from 1987 to 2023. https://ras.football/ras-information/?PlayerID=20038&pos=LB #RAS

 

[af1 1982]

Wouldn’t be mad at this if other 4 dudes go. If you can’t fix a weakness with that pick, trade back or continue to strengthen a strength

 

[IATT]

would rather trade back.. but i assume our other options should be available

but on nolan smith, dude holds up vs the run.. i'd be concerned if he was getting washed in run plays but you see why hed work on tape

NFL got the lamest rules

Carter is nice but this just feels like zeroing in for no explicit reason

[District of Columbia]

I’m fine with all scenarios including trading back

This draft kind of is mid too ..so i wouldn’t mind trading for another 1 next year

 

[IATT]

QBs moving up is huge for us.. plus carter’s potential fall

but 30 is the pick we either have to move up from or back from




my dream is carter and move up for banks

 

[District of Columbia]

Y’all watch the game again yet ? I still ain’t seen highlights ..i can’t do it

 

[IATT]

Outside of the highlights and I guess lowlights for us, f no

 

[Nike Jordan]

I'll never re-watch any game the Eagles lost.

 

[mrswagtastic]

Nope, and I still ain’t over it. Could have been the greatest eagles team ever, career arc changing ish for Mahomes if we win since Jalen outplayed him. Such a missed opportunity. Easy to say “next year”, but there will be a drop off and growing pains again next year with so much turnover.
