That was definitely getting pushed from somewhere before the draft. A lot of the draft guys started saying it a couple weeks before the draft, Todd Mcshay and a lot of those type of guys all started saying it a lot. Im not saying I agree with it, im just saying it was definitely getting put out there before the draft by some of these guys.

I also am good with Eager and the analytics dudes behind the scenes last year. I think they get more credit for last years draft than Dan honestly.

I agree with that entirely because of how many drafts in a row we have taken wr early. The flip side of that is we still dont have a very great wr group. Tet is very solid, I will get flamed for this but I still think his ceiling is an elite #2 like Tee Higgins, Coker has shown a lot of flashes and I think he deserves a chance but im not sure what his ceiling is. After drafting all these receivers in the first and second we still have no shifty receivers who can just run good routes and create separation consistently. Horn has that potential I guess but hes more of a gadget guy. All that said I dont trust ou front office like a lot of people seem to. I think Dan has done a great job at throwing money at the top free agents and they have played well. Everything outside of that is hit or miss. Last years draft had a lot of contributors.

I get what youre saying but also maybe they werent targeted that much because they aren't that great.

Hes a solid blocker, I wouldnt say elite but hes definitely not one of those guys who are basically a big slot. He can block.

Hes been one of my top targets for pick 19 for a while now. Unfortunately I think he goes a few picks before us though.

Your logic makes less sense to me. If bryce isnt the answer (probably isnt) you have a plug and play guy for the next qb you bring in. You dont want to throw a rookie qb on to an offense that doesnt have talent.

Because franchise for linebackers counts all linebackers for the rate, including edges. Basically any non edge lb is hardly ever going to be franchised.

We have clearly gotten better each year. Stable is never a bad thing when you are continuously improve.

I agree in some aspects. So many people like to say BPA, if hes there at 19 hes most likely bpa

Linderbaum is also a pretty specialized center based on his size and strengths and im not sure he would be great here.

Yep, a really good rb puts a really good team over the top. A really good rb doesnt really do much at all for a bad team.

Yep, they were doing basically what Eagles did. Go by all the players pff/analytics grades and then using Eric Eager's analytics to figure out the odds of which of those players would most likely be gone or available the next round. I remember in that behind the scenes draft things they would ask Eager what the odds a pass rusher they liked would be there the next round and he said like 80% they would be gone or something like that, and he constantly provided them information like that during the draft.

Yea, I think hes had a terrible draft and a good draft. The good draft was basically asking Eric Eager the odds for each player to be available each round and taking the best pff graded player. I think his free agency guys have been good and bad but most of the groups he has "fixed" has been making them the highest paid groups in the NFL. I would give him a C so far to maybe a C+.

I think a lot of huddlers are over rating Dan's eye for talent, but I hope youre right and im wrong on that.
