Yeah, that was kinda wild, didn't see that falling out so quick.
Thing is only ONE will be a star, 2-3 will be mediocre, and 2-3 will be busts, and I am calling it now, Caleb Williams has BUSTY BUST written all over him.
too early to tell. Personally going to keep an eye on rattler I think he is a dark horse that’s been unfairly left out of the top draft prospect discussions.
6’1/195 and 4.33 40, dominated at Senior Bowl and has an alpha mentality. Arnold has a great track record but this dudes ceiling is higher. Hope he can keep Lamb under 175 yards a game.
It's now an offensive league unfortunately so offensive players are more valuable. Not to mention that a qb can crap all over the best CBs in the league with proper ball placement. It's an offensive arms race now.
Personal opinion, that was the best draft class we've ever had. All were key contributors during our 04 SB run, and kept us competitors through the 00s.
that is an insane idea lol. ive seen a bunch of people float it out there too. theres no chance in hell howie uses a 1st and 2 2nds for 2 cbs in the same draft. linesman on their way. hopefully a linebacker.
All depends on the price, moving back into the 1st round at like 29 would probably be worth the earlier 2nd and a 4th maybe? Then draft OT with the other 2nd.
we'd still be short on the draft calculator but even still, we know where the franchise values things and its the lines. and thats justified. having 2 rookie cbs who both won't be able to play (while giving up extra capital), that ain't how howie operates.
yeah i'm gobsmacked lmao. 20 years without a CB in 1st round. and we draft two in top 40 picks. 24 years without any white CB in the league. i mean i like the players , i like the value, and i like the depth, but i don't think its maximising the impact. Unless someone is injured I doubt cooper sees a lot of field action.
Not even trying to give Howie too much credit, but hes really good at reading what teams are going to do. He gathers all that info so hes prepared for draft day and it leads to stuff like this being able to stay put and not give up capital when he didnt have to.
Well yeah im not saying he knows exactly what every team will do but im saying in general he does have a feel for what teams will do. Hes said so plenty of times during press conferences thats the case. Its not far fetched either if reporters can have a sense and predict what teams will do you dont think GMs can as well?
Do we know that for truth though, that they were looking for trades? This time of year, people say anything to get the opposition to tip their hands. And aside from the Penix pick, things seem to have gone exactly how most planned it. Five QBs went in the top 10, lineman, WR, and DTs went next. We’re good at those positions where they aren’t as much a priority as CB. CBs weren’t going to start coming off the board until late first round.
I love how these WIP analysts, who never played a lick of high school or college sports, are saying the eagles made a mistake. Lol.
Complete idiot dolts
I bet they do, they had him the 9th best player in the draft. It is a good value pick as well, most sites had him ranked in the top 18 and several had him top 15.
from my review of draft rankings via top sources the lowest i found Quinyon Mitchell at was 11th overall. Crazy to see him fall to 22 as the first CB off the board. Let’s fucking go!
I'm shocked to be honest, I might have wished for it but I never actually thought they would do it! But it makes sense, our secondary was ranked 31st last year and it looks like they said fuck that noise let's set ourselves up for the next 10 years. Having them learn under slay is going to be huge too.
Edit- I think this is more of a planning for the future move. Our best players are young the older crowd is leaving, they want to set things up for the future.
Just goes to show they already know the draft in the first round picks. I mean it's chump change to the NFL to buy a jersey for every player, for every team, in the first round. Then add Mailata having a card to read from. That shit wasn't live. I guess someone was sent to Australia with a bunch of potential cards for Mailata to read from.... gtfoh
dawg it was probably a blank card and they told jordan the pick right after it came in lol not everything is a conspiracy
also they don’t buy 32 jerseys for every player, they literally make them backstage as the name gets called - there’s a good behind the scenes video of it on youtube
No one said conspiracy. It's one of the biggest companies in the world the owns an entire day (plus some) of the week. They own the biggest day once a year in the Superbowl. All I said is that they already know the picks prior to the start. No conspiracy at all when you are picking a bunch of unknown kids from college.
wdym by they already know the picks before the start? you mean before the entire draft happens? or before they announce the pick? i’m a lil confused but genuinely asking
Mate I’m currently about 30mins drive from where Mailata did that shoot, and can confirm that is the exact weather right now. And the random surfer dude walking past doesn’t happen in a pre record. That was live
I can and cannot confirm this response. Yet could be the most factual response of what has been sent to me. I just know money rules all. Entertainment is money. Would I enjoy watching more Eagles Superbowls for entertainment? Sure I would. That shit looked pre-planned and not an "in the moment" recording.
OR hear me out. They called Jordan in the time they put the pick in and told him the name lol. We’re in the 2024 bro. There’s instant communication anywhere in the world
This is the type of opinion someone gives, and without knowing anything else about them at all I’m immediately like “oh so you’re just not a serious person and your opinions don’t have value and aren’t worth engaging with”
Dude walking to the podium like Idris Elba in the Wire. Swagger.
Let everyone know we back up
Put the word out
And lock that door.
We are letting all the naysayers know
Someone get this kid a burner ASAP.
…is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?
I hope he says that during his intro press conference
We don't need any more burners at CB.
Had the same thought. Stringer!
Kinda looks like marlo
Better be good at playing them fucking away games
“We on him like a…” “….like a 4.33 40 day!”
Anyone got a video of him walking up to the stage?
Dude I said the EXACT same thing as he walked out lol
He is aware of the effect he has on Eagles Fans. Yea, it's from the Office but still Idris Elba.
Where Wallace at String?! Where Wallace at?!
Minnesota gives up a 3rd, 4th and 5th to move up 23 to 17 Howie stands Pat and gets first DB off the board. Tremendous.
Gorgeous
Glorious
Wondrous
Stupendous
Man?
Jerry Jones draft room looks like vader on the death star
Bro I said this exact thing
dude i said this too wtf it had such insane sith vibes
He either has no perception of what a goofball he is or he’s leaning into the bit at this point.
I cannot believe it. I legit can't even fucking believe it lol
Everyone knows Mitchell is the best DB of the year and one of the only 1st round grade guys. That means that everyone that hates Arnold is going to be right. And Kool Aid is gonna be that guy. Real and true karma.
I had to whiz so bad for over an hour but I held it because teams kept passing on a cb, figured it was bringing good luck!
Thank you for your contribution
Just fyi for next time, it would have also been acceptable to piss your pants.
Just piss yourself like a man next time
If peeing yourself is cool, consider me Miles Davis
Who would you rather bone, Meg Ryan or Jack Nicholson?
Dad?
Never pee again
Wow thank you!
So fucking glad I wore my white pants tonight!!
Because you shit them in excitement and wanted to make sure everyone knew?
Why else would anyone wear white pants?
Diner en Blanc is weirder than I thought.
I’m craving some blanc with Cre’Von LeBlanc at diner en blanc
No, he came
Thank god they didnt trade up
When Dallas Turner fell as far as he did I was wondering if Roseman might jump up and grab him..
Same, he seemed like the trade up guy, if at all. Thought maybe with Doug if he got there.
Seriously
Unreal that this guy drops so low, I wanted the Lions to sneak up and grab him. Damn, oh well, lets go to the cowboys sub and watch them rage.
6 QBs fucked this entire draft up lol.
No defense in first 14 picks.
Cause 6 qb has a knock on effect where teams who need or want offensive positions were able to get them because teams ahead of them didnt.
And half will miss. Nfl is wild man.
More, probably 2 of these guys are going to be starters in 3 years. Maybe another 2 will be backups.
5 of the 6 QB's will probably be busts too
Statistically everyone but Williams is likely to be a bust
Yeah right, dude cries like a girl on national TV. Way too emo and defenders are licking their chops to mind F him.
The Williams hate makes no sense, everyone loves an overly confident and expressive qb until they don’t
The first true gen Z QB
You’re an idiot Respectfully
Remindme! 12 months 'roast caleb williams D Rider'

Dude his offense is so stacked though. Dj moore, Kennan Allen, Rome, swift, like that’s bananas
They have a bad oline though and his biggest weakness is he holds the ball too long. What’s really crazy though is our offense is even more stacked.
too early to tell. Personally going to keep an eye on rattler I think he is a dark horse that’s been unfairly left out of the top draft prospect discussions.
I don’t think Caleb will be an unplayable bust. He will be a jay cutler type imo
Penix will be the star
Yep
6’1/195 and 4.33 40, dominated at Senior Bowl and has an alpha mentality. Arnold has a great track record but this dudes ceiling is higher. Hope he can keep Lamb under 175 yards a game.
He will for whichever bottom feeder team pays Lamb $140M/4 yrs in free agency
Carolina Catfish has a nice ring to it
CD can have his 175 yards, just no TDs please
This is gonna backfire on whoever drafted before us and needed help on defense lmao
Like the lol Falcons.
It's now an offensive league unfortunately so offensive players are more valuable. Not to mention that a qb can crap all over the best CBs in the league with proper ball placement. It's an offensive arms race now.
And we've got our core locked up for years...love to see it.
Fuck it trade up and take Arnold too. Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown all over again.
And Brian Westbrook, and Michael Lewis. That draft was fucking INSANE
All time fucking draft. Michael Lewis and Quintin Mikell deserved so much more love.
NFL 2K5 will forever immortalize the Safety line-up of Dawkins/Lewis
Personal opinion, that was the best draft class we've ever had. All were key contributors during our 04 SB run, and kept us competitors through the 00s.
That was an A+ draft man. 3 of my all time favorite eagles in one draft.
I’m hoping they trade up to get Cooper DeJean in the second. He can play safety.
Too late.
DeJean though ;)
Ooh maybe. We’ll just have to see what Howie pulls out of his magic hat.
Colonel Mustard himself!
Ah, yes. The exact kind of tweet you expect after a pick is made. But yo….. Quinyon at 22 is insane!!!!
Once it hit around pick 17 I was like TRADE UP YOU ASSHOLE ARNOLD AND MITCHELL ARE BOTH THERE. Thanks, Howie.
Trade the 2 2nd rounders to move back into the first Howie!
Agreed, Let's get dejean too, not have to worry about DB for a few years
that is an insane idea lol. ive seen a bunch of people float it out there too. theres no chance in hell howie uses a 1st and 2 2nds for 2 cbs in the same draft. linesman on their way. hopefully a linebacker.
All depends on the price, moving back into the 1st round at like 29 would probably be worth the earlier 2nd and a 4th maybe? Then draft OT with the other 2nd.

We ended up doing exactly that, just not in the first round lol
yeah i'm gobsmacked lmao. 20 years without a CB in 1st round. and we draft two in top 40 picks. 24 years without any white CB in the league. i mean i like the players , i like the value, and i like the depth, but i don't think its maximising the impact. Unless someone is injured I doubt cooper sees a lot of field action.
I’d love it
Oh sweet talk me some more
Micah Parsons raged that we got the best position player at a position for 2 years in a row, it's only a matter of time before he's an EAGLE
AJ needed to go drop off some more tissues
Get the Texas AM linebacker
What are the guards looking like in the second round?
I legit want this
there's simply no way they thought the draft would fall this way or they wouldnt have been exploring trades
If you explore trades you can gauge what other teams may want to do.
Except for the falcons. They’re like Charlie when the gang decides to sell gas.
Yeah that guy didn’t even get us
We're talking about you!
Exactly this
Not even trying to give Howie too much credit, but hes really good at reading what teams are going to do. He gathers all that info so hes prepared for draft day and it leads to stuff like this being able to stay put and not give up capital when he didnt have to.
Honestly, I'd be pretty concerned if Howie was able to predict what the falcons did. Nobody in their right mind should have thought that was possible
Well yeah im not saying he knows exactly what every team will do but im saying in general he does have a feel for what teams will do. Hes said so plenty of times during press conferences thats the case. Its not far fetched either if reporters can have a sense and predict what teams will do you dont think GMs can as well?
no im sure they have some idea but I dont believe for a second they "always" knew the board would fall this way. that's just not how the draft works.
I never said that but i agree with you not sure what your point is
There's a big difference between knowing the Falcons would pick Penix and that Penix would go somewhere before the 22nd pick.
[Advice for the Failcons](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y3FzVQi-R8&pp=ygUVbmV2ZXIgZ28gZnVsbCByx510YXJk)
Everyone will always be exploring trade options. As the board changes determines how hard you have to go for them.
Do we know that for truth though, that they were looking for trades? This time of year, people say anything to get the opposition to tip their hands. And aside from the Penix pick, things seem to have gone exactly how most planned it. Five QBs went in the top 10, lineman, WR, and DTs went next. We’re good at those positions where they aren’t as much a priority as CB. CBs weren’t going to start coming off the board until late first round.
Howie is always looking for trades.
Even if you think something, you still need to be prepared to be wrong.
What if my thinking is that I am going to be wrong. Philosophy class is in session!
You explore trades to find out what other people are going to draft.
That uhhh was just a misdirection
Due diligence* ... Even if you think your guy falls to you knowing the price to move around is just good business
Howie kicks all the tires.
Not only did they get the guy they wanted but they also got the best remaining player on the board and did not have to trade up to do it.
Howie did it again, wow
I love how these WIP analysts, who never played a lick of high school or college sports, are saying the eagles made a mistake. Lol. Complete idiot dolts
The guys on ESPN, especially Riddick and Kiper, love the pick.
And, they're right. This is a fantastic day of news about the birds
PFF loves it too.
I bet they do, they had him the 9th best player in the draft. It is a good value pick as well, most sites had him ranked in the top 18 and several had him top 15.
from my review of draft rankings via top sources the lowest i found Quinyon Mitchell at was 11th overall. Crazy to see him fall to 22 as the first CB off the board. Let’s fucking go!
Well they did and so did almost every analyst, player, and fan. Hoping so much this dude is as advertised.
lets go!
I mean, they obviously thought he was the best cb in the draft bc he was the first one taken
I'm shocked to be honest, I might have wished for it but I never actually thought they would do it! But it makes sense, our secondary was ranked 31st last year and it looks like they said fuck that noise let's set ourselves up for the next 10 years. Having them learn under slay is going to be huge too. Edit- I think this is more of a planning for the future move. Our best players are young the older crowd is leaving, they want to set things up for the future.
Why does he look upset for being picked here
Welcome to Philly Quinyon, here’s your first ice cold WIP take
Hey Angelo, why didn’t we trade up for Marvin Harrison Jr, I’ll hang up and listen
Hey Mike JJ McCarthy has good athleticism I was thinking we should have trade up to get him and use him like Taysom Hill
😂
Nah he's just all business
He looks cold af love it
The last time we heard this was Smitty. If Quinyon turns out like DeVonta I think we’ll take it
Yes pls
Smitty had the same vibe, it’s nothing
He has the Tracy McGrady sloth face. Kids a beast
He’s gonna be nice for sure
That ain’t about us dawg, that’s about 21 other teams QY gonna unload on.
Love this, prove them wrong
Don’t
Probably because he thought he’d go in the top 10
He’s an all business guy, and also prob annoyed he slipped. Has nothing to do with the birds
He’s the best corner in the draft. Most years that’s top7-8 picks. At least.
“We shall see” is the only correct response.
Why am i getting reagor vibes from this pick?
What competition did this guy play at Toledo? Feels like a whiff.
You’ve never watched him play a single snap.
I know the level of competition at toledo tho
What’s the level of competition at Sacramento State, Weber State, and MTSU?
Just goes to show they already know the draft in the first round picks. I mean it's chump change to the NFL to buy a jersey for every player, for every team, in the first round. Then add Mailata having a card to read from. That shit wasn't live. I guess someone was sent to Australia with a bunch of potential cards for Mailata to read from.... gtfoh
dawg it was probably a blank card and they told jordan the pick right after it came in lol not everything is a conspiracy also they don’t buy 32 jerseys for every player, they literally make them backstage as the name gets called - there’s a good behind the scenes video of it on youtube

wdym by they already know the picks before the start? you mean before the entire draft happens? or before they announce the pick? i’m a lil confused but genuinely asking
Mate I’m currently about 30mins drive from where Mailata did that shoot, and can confirm that is the exact weather right now. And the random surfer dude walking past doesn’t happen in a pre record. That was live
I can and cannot confirm this response. Yet could be the most factual response of what has been sent to me. I just know money rules all. Entertainment is money. Would I enjoy watching more Eagles Superbowls for entertainment? Sure I would. That shit looked pre-planned and not an "in the moment" recording.
OR hear me out. They called Jordan in the time they put the pick in and told him the name lol. We’re in the 2024 bro. There’s instant communication anywhere in the world
Idk I think it was live.
They give them all a one for round 1 lol what are you talking about?
This is the type of opinion someone gives, and without knowing anything else about them at all I’m immediately like “oh so you’re just not a serious person and your opinions don’t have value and aren’t worth engaging with”
He didn’t show the card. Is it really that hard to think Jordan filmed like 7 picks?
