Good player but too injury prone for a first round pick.

Agreed!

Love that you can throw the ball up for the guy and he'll high point it and come down with it, but he does have a tendency of getting hurt

He may turn out to be an all pro, but right now, we need speed, and more speed. The Eagles may just cut Jeffrey and DJAX, and just go with 2 rookies, plus Ward, and a free agent. The 2 SB teams showed us that today, you have to have speed. Now, they also have to have good hands as well. Higgins may not even be a 1st rounder, and prove us all wrong (except Rey), but I'd rather take my chances on the fastest guys we can get.

Rey · Feb 17, 2020

I still think the Eagles need to go after Breshad Perriman in free agency. This kid has always had the size and speed, but needed to work on his route running and consistency catching the ball. He started coming on in Cleveland late in the 2018 season after Baker Mayfield took over the job and then again in Tampa when he became the #1 guy for the last month of the season under the guidance of Bruce Arians. At this point in his career (still just 26) he is a much more NFL ready player than those first 2 years in Baltimore. This is a guy who ran 2 40's at his Pro Day under 4.3, but now he is a much better route runner, healthy (had injury issues in Baltimore) and has far less drops ... to go along with that deep speed. That's not to say you ignore the WR position in the draft should you bring in Perriman, but deep threat solved with Perriman and a returning DJax along with Ward in the slot (who's not a burner, but he's not slow either football speed-wise). You can still go WR in Rd 1 or 2, but that rookie won't have to be thrown to the wolves. Hoping JJ improves year 2 as well ... looks like the Eagles had him learning all WR positions year one instead of using him at one spot. That makes me give him a bit more of a pass ... it was a red-shirt year in a nutshell.

Good call out! As FA WR goes I like this guy up near the top. He will command less than a Robby Anderson, and provide better stability against injury, and might just provide comparable impact on the field. All at a better value.

old duke · Feb 18, 2020

I'm fine with either of these two. I just hope that Breshad has developed good hands. We don't need a Gibson, et al.

mcnabb7542 · Feb 18, 2020

If they do sign a Wide Out and Corner via free agency it does open the widow in the draft that they can take best player available at the time of the pick, ie taken a LB, DE, DT without having to reach since the picks are pretty lower end. And they wont have to pay to move up either.

Rey · Feb 19, 2020

Liking this WR from UCF Gabriel Davis. Big kid (6'3" 215 lbs), smooth route runner and hands catcher. Not sure what round he will go in; my guess is Rd 3, but with a good Combine showing could be in play for Rd 2. For a big receiver he really separates well when the ball is in the air.

old duke · Feb 19, 2020

I think right now, he projects to be in the 3rd/4th rounds, but we know that the combine changes things. Good idea Rey, I like him too, as our 2nd WR in the draft.

Yep....I have watched this kid the last couple of years. A really good receiver.....I just never know how these AAC kids are going to project with the pros.

Wings would love that he was pimping him back in the draft a few years back. Going with a guy where I played college ball Antonio Gandy-Golden (AGG) 6-4, 220. Not a burner or overly athletic just catches everything.

old duke · Feb 19, 2020

I'd like him in the 3rd round.

Screamin Eagle · Feb 19, 2020

You all should take a look at B. Aiyuk of AZ State. I’m really liking him. Mims could be an interesting late round pick.

With this WR class you may have a guy like this still around in Rd 4. There are going to be WR steals well into the 4th or 5th. I don't remember seeing a class this good and this deep since I've been following the draft ... and that's been a long time. Even the Eagles can't screw this one up ... can they?

I think you know the answer to that - (JJAW). He may turn out (we hope), but look who we passed up!

Optimistically, we get Ruggs (unless Howie trades up for Ceedee, or Jeudy); the best DB; and another WR in the 3rd.

Yup. I remember Wings had a serious crush for this guy.

Whats everyones take on this?

PFF predicts the Eagles will sign three of their top 50 free agents - Bleeding Green Nation

I had not thought of Ha-Ha Clinton Dix. Based on the expected going rate I would certainly kick the tires on him. We could do worse to replace McLeod.

Already in on Perriman and that speed only entices me more.

Peters surprised me a bit. I get what they are saying here....I get what the PFF scores show for last year. But....I just feel like the cliff is coming soon.

eaglesnut · Feb 21, 2020

We drafted Dillard. Peters can move on and we'll use the money elsewhere.

Personally I would sign as many deep threats as possible. Perriman is presumably the third most expensive WR behind Robby Anderson and Amari Cooper.

I'd look at what the Niners are going to do with Marquise Goodwin. He hasn't been reliable for them, but he can fly.

Robert Foster from Buffalo can get deep, but the Bills worked him out of the rotation for whatever reason. He'd be a cheap option.

Emmanuel Sanders is an interesting option that would give Wentz a reliable place to go with the football on the outside. He'd have been the hero of the Super Bowl if Jimmy didn't miss him. He was coming off an Achilles injury last year and is now two years removed. Would be a good vet instead of trying our luck with rookie or unprovens.

I love a healthy Goodwin!! But with his injury history and the recent history of this training staff....yikes.

I would be good with Sanders at a fair price too. Skill and experience there.

Northern Eagle · Feb 23, 2020

Some here like Robby Anderson, but I feel it's caveat emptor with him; I would rather take my chances in the draft to add speedsters.

The kid from Texas, Devin Duvernay, I feel is being slept on a bit - another burner who looked good in his match-ups at the Senior Bowl and could provide some nice value in the mid-rounds.

old duke · Feb 24, 2020

He's a burner. Probably a 3rd rounder. Very good prospect. In a weaker draft, he would be a 2nd rounder.
