The 2025 Draft Thread

[RWJ]

Green changed schools because of sexual abuse allegations and it also happened to him in college.

The Eagles don't play that way.

Jalen Carter? Not sexual issues but Howie takes chances and I wouldn't put it past him to do it with either Green or Pearce. If both or either one are still availble at their pick, we'll see.

Listening to Keim on Sheehan. And combining that with another radio appearance. If past is prologue its always relevant which names he brings up regardless of context.

A. They want Pass rush, CB, RB. And #4 would be O line. BPA but those are their preferred spots. The pass rush can come from another spot like DT doesn't have to be edge

B. He's hinted now in multiple appearances -- he suspects Ezeiruaku, Green would be their top desires at edge. He knows some interest in Scourton, Landon Jackson. in another segment he mentioned JT and Oladejo later in the 2nd. He mentioned Stewart in a previous segment but didn't talk about him much this time.

C. In a radio appearance he again brought up Derrick Harmon. He's been brought up too many times randomly for me to think he hasn't heard something as to some interest

D. CB: Hairston, Barron, Amos. He suspects Barron is gone.

E. RB: he suspects they take one later in the draft versus early but he's not sure. Mentioned again Henderson and Tuten among some others including Kaleb Johnson.

F. He knows they want to fortify the O line. Mentioned Booker again. This team wants to build a strong O line.

The more I think about it, the more I've come to the realization how big of a need CB is for us. Finding an outside starting corner this draft would be massive for us.

It would be unrealistic to expect Lattimore to get through the entire season healthy. That essentially leaves Mikey and Iggy on the outside, both of which we probably prefer in the slot. Like the Tunsil/Coleman upgrade, if we can find another outside corner and kick Mikey inside we probably improve two positions at once again.

There were so many solid CB FAs this year that us not going for one makes me think we plan on addressing one early here.

EDGE / CB feels like 1A / 1B to me and our first 2 picks are probably in that position.

I want an elite running back so bad, i wanted barkley last year but he was going to the eagles no matter what and it wasn't meant to be.
I was hoping bijan robinson would fall to our pick but that was never gonna happen either.

I'm stoked that the draft is loaded at the position this year I just wish we had more ammo, I fear we have more pressing needs with our two early picks and by the time we pick again all the really good backs will be gone.

I'm crossing my fingers though.

Me too. Running back is my 1B want. 1 A is probably a pass rushing terror.

For me, it's a little bit of a chicken and the egg thing.

A good pass rush means the coverage doesn't have to last as long. Better coverage gives the D Line more time to get there. I think I'd want the chicken first (DLine) but both is the correct answer.

It's funny. I no longer have interest in Henderickson. I know he's better (a lot better) than what we have and is a lot better than any rookie we are likely to draft, but I think we spent already on DE and have too few draft picks. I want an infusion of youth and hunger.

I acknowledge that my opinion is a minority one. I also acknowledge if we were to get him then we would be a stronger team.

 

[Hail Raiser]

Dallas or Cincinnati

Theres a few teams that love those dudes. Fucking Chiefs will probably draft him and he'll have 20+ sacks for 4 years before going to prison. I hate that team so much. Reids fat ass loves guys like that. Jerry will overlook it and I have no clue what the hell goes on in Cincy, I'm just glad Burrows is stuck there so he doesn't go to the SB every year with a good franchise.

It's an incredible draft for pass rushers. Nobody is trading for an old dude that is good on the Bengals.

CB. That's the number 1 need. We seem to skirt it, but nothing helps this team like CB.

I was a huge Sinnott guy last year, but imagine having Coop and Sain.

Hairston is my 1 at our spot. He can run with Smith, while Lat fights AJ.

He also has the speed to hang with Lamb

I feel awful for Nabers. Seems like a good guy. He'll probably go to the probowl every year, but that team will be bad a lot and they don't have us to kick anymore.

Side track I know, but what team shoot itself in the foot like the Giants? That win last year? Beating the Eagles the year they intentionally tanked? What a bunch of idiots.

Hairston as to the ones likely to be at 29, would be my favorite too. The NFL reporters just did a mock and Keim taking for this team took Hairston at 29 albiet the pass rushers were basically gone by the time he picked.

Something is gonna run and I can't get a feeling for it, which is weird. Could be CB, QBs, PR, hell could be RB after Barkley and Henrys year (I will always include Henry, cause he is incredible and one othe best all time). Some randoms like TE (2), LBers (2).

Some position is gonna run hard. Might even be OL because of the Eagles DL being unmatchable. This is the most unstable draft I can remember.

 

[The Chump Bailey]

I can certainly agree CB is likely our most pressing need, but I also think this OL needs more than a developmental pick. If Cosmi were fully healthy perhaps I could be assuaged a bit but I'm not liking our depth at all. I think I'd still go OT or even look Ratledge's way with our first pick were the choice mine.

If looking at it from a SB run this year perspective, I think we have strongest needs at CB, RB. If for example Lattimore is who he looked like at the end of the season or gets hurt as he typically does, that position gets thin really fast. In a division, with three elite Wrs on the other side, Eagles also have a great #2 Wr and the Cowboys like will as well after this draft.

We need edge but I think we can make due worst case senario. Ditto O line. Don't get me wrong I value both spots highly. go get BPA at those spots and am cool with getting them early. But if we are talking purely about the 2025 season, IMO we can't have a non existent running game and win in January purely on the legs of Jayden. Also we need another CB, we lack depth and its an injury away from being a big time liability.

 

[burgold]

Can we make due at edge? Isn't Luvu our only quality pass rusher? If he gets hurt than we have no one who's good at getting to the QB at all.

O line always goes fast. I've been watching more T. Booker. He's not a 2nd level run blocker. But he's a wall in pass protect. Supposedly character-leadership skills Terry level high. Donovan Jackson is intriguing, too. Both guys have the length and experience to play tackle.

I love Ratledge in the 2nd, but there is no buzz that this team is targeting him so my hopes aren't high for that. But Booker seems to fit the culture, etc. Conerly is intriguing. i like Belton's profile, they've shown some interest in him. Massive physical guy who had a guy Senior Bowl.

I am totally good with them going O line. I suspect they won't at 29 but I think the odds increase if they trade down especially if Booker is there. They add one more monster O lineman, then we got a really good O line which helps the running game, too.

I there with you, however and that's a BIG however, at a reduced price now (i.e., late 2nd early 3rd). No way Cincy would do it but that's how I see it now and I know I'm in the minority too, BG.
