    I guess the hope this time around is that we have real chefs and not short order cooks doing the cooking Eagles?
  2. bird_1972
    Probably not a bad strategy given how depleted the talent is at that position group. My only concern is that there might just not be enough talent on the market to sign a bunch of players. We may be left with the draft to make the numbers.
  3. bird_1972
    Realistically, I'm just hoping for one starter. Assume we take 1-2 in the draft. But yeah, ideally we sign two in FA (center and tackle).
  4. bird_1972
    The OL market is thin - I'm hoping if we make a move on day 1 or 2 of FA, that's where we focus
  5. bird_1972
    What about OG?
  6. bird_1972
    He said as much in an interview around the time of the Quinn hire.
  7. bird_1972
    I think Logan Paulsen is really impressive. He said he wanted to work for Quinn.

    My feeling is when in doubt, go with the tape. To me the Combine should be all about answering specific questions about players but a player shouldn't shoot up draft boards just because of a series of workouts. No way that one day doing feats of strength/athleticism should substitute for game tape.

    Hopefully, those days are over.

    Anyone know when Chris Simms typically releases his QB Draft rankings?
  11. bird_1972
    Perfect landing spot. The rich get richer.
  12. bird_1972
    So many other needs, though. *sigh* ... I guess Rome wasn't built in a day.

    Bruh ... c'mon...
  14. bird_1972
    Is he on 980?
  15. bird_1972
    I actually really like the articles he writes for the Athletic. I'm glad I ponied up the money.

    Sounds good on the surface but at least with Sweat, we have a top 15 pass rusher. No guarantee the younger players you replace him with will be any good.
  17. bird_1972
    Maybe I'm not "getting" it, but why bother trading your starting edge rushers for 2nd and 3rd round picks just to use one of those picks to grab another DE? Shouldn't we have just kept Sweat or Young if we were going to do that? My preference would be to sign an EDGE in FA and then go OL and maybe WR with the 2 second rounders. Maybe go back to OL with the third rounder.

    These "metrics" are super fungible. Seems like folks can retrofit any of these to tailor to their argument. I prefer to triangulate between multiple data points (multiple metrics, expert opinions, etc).
  19. bird_1972
    I agree with this. I would take this path with him - let Howell start for the year while the coaches are getting their program humming. Also give them time to shore up the OL. In a years time, we have a more solid team, coaches whose system all players have one year experience in, more help on the OL, and Maye having been on the team in meetings/getting coaching.
  20. bird_1972
    The only problem is that it's the coaching and sitting in on meetings that's most valuable for the rookie, not necessary getting tutoring from the starter (in this case, Howell). Do you really think Favre "taught" or "mentored" Aaron Rodgers?
  21. bird_1972
    This may be a controversial take, but I would also like any QB we take at #2 to sit behind Sam (or whoever starts) for the first year to learn. I know when a QB is taken that high, there is pressure to start him right away but rarely does that seem to work even with the most talented players.
  22. bird_1972
    They could go with a retractable roof
  23. bird_1972
    Yeah, that was my point. I wasn't suggesting it was only Mahomes but I already knew he was a no-brainer in that category. I just was curious who else people thought met that threshold who are currently in the league.
  24. bird_1972
    How many "they won because of him" guys do you think there are in this draft? Furthermore, how many "they won because of him"s are there currently in the league (besides Mahomes, of course)?
  25. bird_1972
    Yeah, but what if Maye goes first? The more I hear, the less I'm sold on Caleb Williams. Maye seems like a safer bet. I hope Chicago goes for the hype and takes Williams so it's a non-issue.
