#1 need

I'm fine with Warren at 8.  The top of this class is razor thin.  Take an impact player and don't think twice about it.

Pretty solid if you ask me--was here for a game or two in 2023 (I forgot about him):

Not bad, but I'd rather use a 6th or 7th rounder on one of the college kids and giving them a go.

I'm all for taking Warren at 8, but I doubt the team would do it. The Huddle losing their mind would just be the icing on the cake.

I would not be mad--I get it--and Khyber has solid reasons.  He'd definitely take the offense to the next level--my concern?  Who do we have to keep the defensive backs from crowding the LOS?  We need a deep threat--and that does not have to be in the first or the draft.  We need a #1, I just do not see them out there this year--and I don't think Free Agency has them

A properly used TE can be the #1 option. See those Brady led Pats teams from a few years ago as examples 1-3.

I heard that guy dating Taylor Swift used to be pretty good too.

IMO it's 

1a Edge

1b DT

2 LB

3 Safety (less important than front seven)

4 CB

5 WR

6 TE 

 

I think you could argue any one of those positions as our first two picks and it would be a reasonable argument

yea that's where I fall on this, lots of teams appartenly only have ~8 first round graded players this year. If one guy is clearly a better talent just take him and worry about positional value later

Eagles also hit home runs drafting DeJean and Mitchell plus have an elite #1 receiver 

This.

The Eagles have drafted better than us and done better than us in free agency.  Although in fairness, they have drafted better than virtually every team in the NFL.

Yep.... They sacked that slippery weaselly Mahomes 6 times. We need defense all the way.

In fairness, we sacked him five times when we played. The difference was that when they didn't sack him, they still played good cover defense, kept him from breaking off major runs, and got some turnovers.  If we are ever going to challenge for a Superbowl, the defense needs to improve across the board.
