Shaq played both ways in college. More on defense and then a bit on offense.

We only draft receivers who skip quickness and agility drills at the combine.

He has 500 yards and 4tds basically being forced touches and getting every possible opportunity. He was the 8th best wr with lost of wr in front of him getting way less opportunity. 500 yards when thielen misses half the season and your second wr is an undrafted rookie (that did more with the opportunities) is not good. It's bare minimum to not be thought of as a bust already. Especially playing 5 years in college.

Carter and Graham. I might consider Hunter.

You're still really thinking drafting bad players is on Tepper? Dan and Fitterer have been exactly who they always were. Both chasing types of players that fit their glory days that don't work in the modern NFL.

It seems to be a strategy we use when drafting. Instead of taking a later guy when a position is deep, we prefer to take an early guy when the position isn't good in the draft.

I think it's very likely and they should. This is a very talented deep class and they need someone to back up Hubbard since Sanders may be gone. They need a more power short yardage guy who can also block. I definitely hope Dan doesn't continue his old school mentality and draft one early, but they should definitely take one in the 4th or 5th.

I remember years ago when some free agent just posted a picture of the sky on their social media and this place somehow thought that meant he was definitely coming here. I can't remember who it was though.

That archetype isn't that common of a #1 wr now. Almost all the best wr are are around 6' and just great at running routes and getting open. The big body jump ball guys are a dated dying breed. The way defenses play now you're not really taking many deep shots to a big body guy anymore.

Wasn't there story Cam's rookie year where he wouldn't work out with the team in the weight room until eventually Thomas Davis called him out for it?

The Eagles literally blitzed 0 times. You get that much pressure and only send 4 every single time, you're barely ever going to lose.

Yea, this one seems bad to me. Not just our pick, but most of it lol

Thielen literally contemplated retiring this offseason. I don't think XL or Coker will ever be a true #1. If there was an elite all around prospect at wr at our pick I would be totally fine with it, but I'm tired of drafting big body possession receivers who skip agility and quickness drills.

I could see the Quinnen Williams, but he is a better prospect coming in than Brown was. Graham is a beast against the run, but the difference is he has a lot of potential to become a really good pass rusher in the interior. I think he is one of the top, if not the safest players in this draft to be really good. If he's there at 8, they better sprint to the podium, I just think the way this draft will probably fall, I don't see very many ways he's there.

Well he was also top 5 rated in pass rushing, pass rush win percentage, and run defense in college football last season. People saying he's hyped just because that one rep haven't seen much.

I don't see it, but I hope you're right

Unfortunately I don't think there is much chance at all of Graham making it to 8. I'm pretty sure he goes top 5. With him and Carter probably gone by 5.

I don't even mind factoring ras scores as one factor. The problem with the high ras guys we've drafted is they intentionally skipped parts of the drills (mostly cones and shuttle agility drills) so the ras we are chasing is entirely just height, weight, and 40 time. That's a joke and not really a ras score at all.

Drafting a safety in the first seems like such a Morgan move.

It seems like every year there is a wr or two lighting up the senior bowl that rise a lot. I could be wrong but it seems like most of them end up being overdrafted and don't perform well in the NFL, but maybe some of them have and I'm misremembering.

Last years team definitely lacked speed and athleticism overall too. They looked like they were running in mud most of the time.

What I'm saying is toughness doesn't have any better odds to make a great player than height/weight/speed. An elite talented player with no toughness still may make it to the NFL, an elitely tough player without much talent definitely won't. What I'm trying to say is all of this is a sliding scale and I don't care about this hyper focus on being a "dawg" when we've been one of the worst drafting teams in the NFL both pre and post Morgan hiring. Until he hits on a draft I don't care what he says and will continue to feel like he doesn't know what he's talking about regardless.

That doesn't work logically because the exact opposite could be true, and more in line with the truth since he's wanted "dawgs" the whole time. The guys he's drafting could be tough enough, but not talented enough. I think that is more likely.

That's something that happened to Pearce a lot this season too.
