[PhillyGirl]

How am I a homer? I LOATHE this front office. You have to be kidding me.

[Munson]

You're generally more positive than IGY which obviously makes you a homer.

dont make me go back and downgrade the kendricks pick now that i know hes gonna be run SAM up at lehigh

[Drunkmasterflex]

I give them a B+ would be an A if not for Foles I love the first three picks.

[reese125]

Im not seeing anything over a C+ at best with this draft

Cox is the only one that gets me semi excited but that could be the first round in me talking. The other picks are so meh its not even funny. I pray for the day this organization gets on a ravens or steelers level evaluating talent

why is a C+ so bad?

cox way above average

kendricks is a nice choice but they passed on better players for him

curry fits the system nicely but is a one dimensional player without skills that jump out at you

foles was completely unecessary

why the outrage with this take...i have no problem if you wanna lean a little higher...but you are acting like he gave it an F

Why aren't you a fan of a fast LB and another DE? Especially when the defense was the Achilles heel?

[Hawk]

Cox - A (95)
Kendricks - A (95)
Curry - B+ (88)
Foles - D (65)

Overall = A- (343/4 = 85.75 = B)

Overall, that actually averages out to a solid B if you assign number grades.

If the higher picks are weighted more heavily than an A minus is still possible.

because there were faster bigger better lb's when they chose kendricks

[Don Ho]

Draft went from A- to "see me after class".

In all seriousness Foles is not that bad.  Saw a lot of him this past season as we get a shtein load of PAC 12 games here.  I was impressed with his size and thought he actually moved pretty good in the pocket.  And yes, it is absolutely 100% correct that he had a horrible surrounding cast on offense.

im perfectly aware of the achilles heel of this defense. we've been down the speedy lb road before and i dont like how it turned out based off the evaluation of the eagles. this team and any team needs players that can shed blocks and power the run game. the eagles organization has been crushing the lb and end position for years and i don expect it stop there with these guys picked.

and considering the way castillo likes to spread guys out I see more of the same with these players attirbutes. consider me jinxed with skepticism.

[Drunkmasterflex]

I already liked kendricks but when I saw how excited Bill Polian got about him that told me something. He has had a knack for drafting small lbs.

[ice grillin you]

he ever played a 5-11 235 dood at sam in a wide nine?
