Lane Johnson caught using PEDS again

[Thruthefog]

Good thing the Eagles signed all those QBs. They're probably going to need them.

 

[sonnyblack65]

But Brady does.

sure why not

 

[jarntt]

But Brady does.

Careful, "Rainbow Queen Rex" is NOT going to like that...

 

[Davis_Mike]

No he just wont get paid sitting out, (which it now looks like will happen) I'm not stupid, been around the game long enough to know most players are taken something, but for the love of god you get caught once you would think, (and I know this is a reach) that once caught they would take extra pre caution to not get caught again...

This is a very large blow to the Eagles, he has put the offense into more of a scared act now.

Yep, it sucks. Maybe call up Eugene Monroe & give him an offer he can't refuse?

What's most concerning about this is that they really have no depth at OT. If Jason Peters gets hurt now--which is quite possible--Cleveland could be staring at a top 3 pick from Philly next year as part of the Wentz deal.

Crazy to think they might actually own 2 of the top-5 picks. Wonder if that has ever happened? Closest I can remember is St. Louis/LA Rams having the 2nd and 13th overall picks one year.

Sorry Sonny, but that window was just to wide open.

It's very rare for a team to have a couple of picks in the top 10, let alone 2 in the top 5, but it has happened before. Here's a few teams over the last 25 years or so that ended up with a pair of premium picks:

--1992, the Colts had the 1st and 2nd overall picks. That same year, the Dolphins had picks 7 and 12
--1994, the Colts had picks 2 and 5
--1997, Seattle had the 3rd and 6th overall picks.
--2000, the Skins had picks 2 and 3. That same year, the Jets had picks 12, 13, 18, and 27
--2013, the Jets had the 9th and 13th overall picks
--2014, the Rams had picks 2 and 13

It's looking like the Browns could be the next team on that list.

That was the Walter Jones @6 draft, that started to change the fortunes of the franchise. And ironically Paul Allen paid for the draft pick before his ownership of the franchise even started.

Heh.

Good chance of that even without a Peters injury

You think the Eagles are going to be one of the 3 worst teams in the NFL Jarntt? Come on... they aren't that bad. Not even close that they are in the neighborhood of the Browns, Chargers etc.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

I'm still waiting for a guy to come out and say 'Your God Damn right I took those steroids and I've got $30M reasons to take 'em again next year'. My money's on Martellus Bennett as the only one goofy enough to say it...

Nice

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Trade this guy to the Cowboys.

Seattle needs a OL that could be a good fit?

Well considering the way the majority of these teams have turned out. It looks more like a curse as opposed to a blessing.

Well were are talking about Cleveland, sooo that has been a dumpster fire since Bernie retired....

How the team turned out isn't a good measure for whether the team picked a good player or not. It's really the other way around--if the team picks bad players with those high picks, that's why the team didn't turn out well after that.

The 92 Colts, 1 and 2, took DT S.Emtman (bust) and LB Q.Coryatt (bust)
The 92 Phins, 7 and 12, took CB Troy Vincent (good) and DE Marco Coleman (bust)
The 94 Colts, 2 and 5, took RB M.Faulk (great) and LB T.Alberts (bust).
The 97 Seahawks, 3 and 6, took CB S.Springs (great) and LT W.Jones (great).
The 2000 Skins, 2 and 3, took LB L.Arrington (good) and LT C.Samuels (great).
The 2013 Jets, 9 and 13, took CB D.Millner (bust), and DL S.Richardson (good)
The 2014 Rams, 2 and 13 took OT G.Robinson (ok) and DT A.Donald (good)

That's about a success rate a bit over 50% (better than the usual 50% Rd 1 success rate), so having 2 really high picks is certainly not a curse--it's an advantage. The odds of success are in the Browns favor if they get two top picks, but...you know, it's the Browns...

Well you also need to factor in the majority of high picks go to a terrible team. So you can draft a superstar and on a terrible team he ends up mediocre at best.

In that case, you'd never know he was a superstar to begin with. You'd just be guessing. We don't have to guess to know whether having a pair of high picks is a good thing or bad. It's not a curse. It's a very good thing.

I get your point--to have a super high pick to begin with, the team has to be pretty bad. Some teams just can't get out of their own way <cough>Browns<cough>

C'mon Rams fan, the gauntlet has thrown down on Aaron Donald.
