Ruggs has the speed we desperately need but some think Lamb has the potential to be a volume receiver like Michael Thomas.

Guh. Just processing this and I don’t want to go negative but this scenario would involve the Eagles spending draft capital tonight on positions that should already be taken care of when Agoholor and Dillard were taken.
This is a good point. Too good a point really for draft night.

Let's gloss right over it.:D

For me, what split hairs is the versatility Lamb presents on being able to play outside or in the slot. Man, I wouldn’t mind some Michael Thomas. Teams know where the ball is going and still can’t totally shut that guy down.

Maybe this is Howie’s year. Hope springs eternal.

Isn’t he a perennial member of the IR club?

Yep. Article I just read on Bleeding Green cited chronic knee and ankle issues. I’m thinking this is like a 6th round for a 7th round swap kind of trade. I can’t see him having much value in a trade. He’s relatively cheap but also damaged goods.

Yep. He is damaged goods. My guess it's only gonna cost a 6 or 7th round pick. He will be part of the Eagle IR club.

I can't imagine Howie trading our starting LT. That is a ballsy move that can backfire badly if he doesn't have something already in place. My stomach hurts just thinking how badly this draft can go for us. I'm trying to stay positive. Ugh, just want to get this draft done already.

Yes and the only player faster than desean in the league. Won't cost much. Insane speed. That's what we need. Speed Speed and Speed.

I take him over Jefferson or



Really? I prefer Lamb #1, and Jefferson #2. I like Ruggs also. Just me.

Splitting hairs, but Ruggs can do it all and he's much faster than Lamb. They actually used Ruggs a bunch in the Red Zone ... regular deep guys are sometimes subbed out in the Red Zone. Big hands and only one drop in 2019 ... he can burn Defenses in so many ways. That's not to say that I don't like Lamb, but he's not a guy who's going to take tops off Defenses and I think this Offense needs that. It's a big reason that I also like Reagor and Aiyuk ... those guys have to be accounted for deep. I would be perfectly happy with Lamb or Jefferson as well ... that's why I say we're splitting hairs :)

Sounds like the Dillard info was absolute BS ... he's not getting traded or involved in trade talks. Howie would look like an idiot having traded up for a player in Rd 1 and trading him prior to year two in a "move up" deal. GM's are not in the business of looking like fools.

But Howie does a good job of it.
