A distinct possibility, yes.

You’re right Caesar. It was a really solid pick considering our inability to sack a qb. Tight end will be there tomorrow (Mayer, Washington, musgrave) or day 3 (whyle, etc).

Tight in the first isnt where you get the best bang for your buck… history has told us that.

The dude has an extremely high ceiling and is only 21.  Give him a chance.

I dont hate the pick because I didnt want Mayer or Porter

but yea, there was blatant holding from kc that game. I know the pass rush needs improvement, I've been saying it in other threads. But that afc title featured plenty of grabbing

Jesus christ how much KC dick sucking do we have to watch

There will be someone they covet in the next 2 round, don't worry

[The D.O.Z.]

I like the pick. Nice addition to the DL room. Lou has a plethora of guys on that front he can mix and match with depending on scenario. I always welcome more pass rush!

[Sled21]

Reading his production numbers of sacks and tackles for loss makes me feel better about the pick. I guess he and Ossai will be the primary end rotation pieces

Eagles D! Jeesh!

I'm surprised at all the Myles Murphy hate... we are talking about one of the most talented edge rushers in a deep edge class.

I also remember how awful our TEs were last year without Hurst on the field and the only change they made was replacing Hurst with a guy who missed more games in his first 4 seasons than Tyler Eifert. TE now is going to be an absolute drain on the offense's ability in 2023 anytime they're on the field.

Wasn't Hendrickson playing pretty good before the broken wrist? Now we have two pretty good, young players to rotate and keep Sam and Trey fresh. Plus they potentially fill the need when those two's contracts expire. Calculated move, imo. They're going to have to pay bank to keep the band together on offense. Their best strategy with that in mind is to have effective players on defense on rookie deals.

You guys do a great job keeping this board a secret. Only took 3 months to approve a membership. Good luck with your future endeavors. I find some of your highly ranked members to be complete douchebags

[Bilbo Saggins]

Guys...

Murphy hate has been done before.

First area of need addressed. Second is RB or CB. I bet that’s a Friday pick.

[Clark W Griswold]

Yeah that Philadelphia defense is going to be elite

[DYT_Bengal]

Mayer had some awful blocking atleast early in the season last year - looked small and used his shoulder a lot. I honestly like Tucker Kraft a lot or Schoonmaker later if that means we can grab a CB in the second.
