I think you're onto something. Rey even looks like Bat Man!
My daughter goes to USF. Did your wife?
She's a die hard Ohio State fan (graduated from there), but my daughter went to USF for her freshman year prior to transferring to FSU. She was just representing
Hurst scares me, he'll be 25 when the season starts ... his body is already 2-3 years more developed than most rookies. Like a Senior in high school playing on the JV squad which makes him look good. Not saying he's a bad player, but his ceiling is limited once he moves up in competition. Could be good in the short term I guess, but he'll already be 30 by his 2nd contract.
The whole roster is "NOT" coming back.
We lost:
RB Blount
TE Burton
TE Celek (but gained TE Rodgers)
WR T. Smith (lost his replacement)
CB Robinson
DE Curry (but gained Michael Bennett)
DL Allen (but gained Ngata)
That is not the whole roster coming back. And if you look at it, we replaced most of the weapons lost on DEFENSE. I think Robinson will be the biggest one missed. But we have done little on offense. And that doesn't include the fact the OL was not the best. Wentz was the most hit QB in the NFL last year due to poor pass protection. I'm not too worried about WR - and we should be ok at RB... but TE is a huge area we leaned on last year that is not replaced.
But the notion that everyone is coming back, simply isn't so.
TE is the only place we don't have replacements for what we lost.
I'm sure that'll be addressed tomorrow.
Would not shock me if the Eagles punt on this draft altogether. Maybe trade back into the middle of the 2nd round in exchange for a 2nd in 2019.
