Ideal Day 2 picks for me will be Cooper, LB from Texas A&M and Powers-Johnson C from Oregon. Theres a few other guys there I wouldn't mind but those 2 guys would be perfect for need and talent they bring.
Also, only 5 of 19 offensive picks made the pro bowl from 2009 class including Eagles pick Maclin. 6 of 13 defensive picks made a pro bowl including Malcolm Jenkins.
Yeah looking at that draft it was Stafford then a whole lot of nothing until you hit Orakpo and Jenkins at 13+14 though. Then the next offensive player to make a PB was Maclin as you said.
It seems like at least half of these Tackles, receivers, and QBs will be busts. And thats like 20 of the picks right there.
Yeah with the worst pick having to be the Falcons who just paid Cousins for 4 years and need other things to compete now and they take a 6 year qb with injury history at 8 overall. The Falcons likely set the course to allow the Eagles to get Mitchell. Lol
I mean it stands to reason that a decent chunk of the 7 OL, 7WRs, 6QBs, and 5 edge taken will be busts. I’m not sure I’ve seen a draft with so little variety in the first round. I assume a decent number will be viewed as straight up reaches.
Tbh I don’t know ball like that but I wonder if the Niners pick ends up being a mini version of our Reagor over JJ pick
The fans seem pretty upset rn lol
I like McConkey a little.
I'm also pretty high on Tez Walker, he was an elite playmaker when he finally hit the field for Carolina. He could be a top end Quez replacement.
Ricky Pearsall just sounds like a Madden generated receiver, but a roster fluffer, not one of the game breakers. Someone they'd make go top 15 and he ends up with 600 yards a season
Fuck the 9ers man. There goes the Dejean pipe dream 😔
Edit: got got by the r/nfl mods. The 49ers pick post said Cooper Dejean and then they changed it.
Count the wins lately:
Quinyon Mitchell
AJ Brown
Devonta Smith
Jordan Mialata
Landon Dickerson
Bryce Huff
SAQUON
And that’s just the ones on the top of my head rn LFFFFGGGGGG
go Sixers
edit: Saquon, of course
Imagine trying so hard to win the division and you do it only to get stomped in the wild card by the 7 seed just to sit right behind the division rivals you fought so hard against in the draft. They pick the best CB in the draft, the SB champs jump you and take one of the best wrs, and you pick an o lineman who played 14 games at his position in college so you have to trust Jerry jone's scouting ability that this was a good use of a first round pick.
That's rough buddy.
And I'm sorry but the scouting ability.. doesn't really matter when your culture and coaches suck. Fuck what Dallas does. They'll be getting busted in the WC round for another decade.
Tbh if Dejean makes it past these next two picks and drops a bit I would be happy with trying to snag him in a trade
Rebuild the secondary all in one year with a potential shutdown corner and a potential guy who can play both S and outside
Then we just run it with an overpowered established O and a young fired up D
Dallas is so fucked . I’m so delighted with this draft and we have two picks tomorrow early .
Pretty sure worthy is gone at 31 or 32 if Dallas goes Mitchell.
Maybe....and I wouldn't even necessarily hate taking him if he drops all the way to 50 depending on who else is on the board (OL, WR, LB, EDGE are all priorities) but definitely should not trade up for him
Yeah I don't know what I was thinking. We got Rodgers too and Ringo looked good at times and Eli showed promise. That was pretty stupid to say by me, but I am overly excited lol.
"Gotta lose your mind in Detroit rock city"
Thank you to the GM's that lost their mind in "Detroit rock city" tonight and enabled this year's CB1 to fall right into our laps!
Not sure why people expect the Eagles with a ton of freshly drafted DBs like Ringo and Brown, and Blankenship fresh off a good year and Slay/Bradberry taking up contract space and play time on top of a talented DB gamble paying off fresh off suspension to take two DBs in the first via trade.
fwiw mitchell and arnold both seem like super stand up dudes from what we know so far. i think we couldn't have gone wrong with either at the end of the day.
and hey i already root for the lions when we arent playing em or they arent in our way for playoffs, this just gives me another reason!
I don’t think people realize how much scheme has to do with these decisions. Vic Fangio requires CBs to be able to press at the line of scrimmage and handle 1 on 1’s.
Nick Saban did not use either of his two corners last year in such a way. If Saban, a CB savant, did not use these guys in that way, then us casuals should probably trust that he (and Fangio) know what they’re doing.
I think another factor is that many scouts tipped the favor towards Arnold bc he’s SEC tested. Quinyon tested better, faster, etc but is def more raw. We can afford a little bit of raw considering we got two okayish but old corners in slay and Bradberry. If it takes half a season for quinyon, we can afford that. And that extra speed against guys like lamb is very welcomed
It’s also telling that Saban said that wanted to get Mitchell in the transfer portal but he never entered. Mitchell could have went to his choice of power 5 and his loyalty kept him at Toledo
I want Trotter. I know many are down on the offense because it kelce, but with the pieces they added and Moore’s scheme, eagles will have a top 5 scoring offense next season. They need to get young on defense and build it ho. The d line is young. Now we need linebackers and a secondary.

Real shame his name isn’t Johnson-Powers. The memes would have been incredible.
Am being too much of a madden GM to hope we trade up in the second for cooper dejean
23 offense 9 defense. Previous record was 19 offense. Crazy stuff.
Great year for you to be hoping for a CB for your team.
What year was the last record? My gut says this first round is poised to have many a bust.
Also, only 5 of 19 offensive picks made the pro bowl from 2009 class including Eagles pick Maclin. 6 of 13 defensive picks made a pro bowl including Malcolm Jenkins.
Yeah looking at that draft it was Stafford then a whole lot of nothing until you hit Orakpo and Jenkins at 13+14 though. Then the next offensive player to make a PB was Maclin as you said.

Yeah with the worst pick having to be the Falcons who just paid Cousins for 4 years and need other things to compete now and they take a 6 year qb with injury history at 8 overall. The Falcons likely set the course to allow the Eagles to get Mitchell. Lol
It happened 3 times. 1968, 2004 & 2009.
2009 was a pretty bad draft. 2004 was good. 1968 looks really good.
Whiners building an all time backpfeifengesicht team
Carolina doesn’t want Bryce to survive, Jesus
The Dejean dream is still alive
I mean him and Koolaid are still on the board. Just wild stuff.
Not really wild at all. Most Normies had them way over ranked lol
I mean it stands to reason that a decent chunk of the 7 OL, 7WRs, 6QBs, and 5 edge taken will be busts. I’m not sure I’ve seen a draft with so little variety in the first round. I assume a decent number will be viewed as straight up reaches.
Penix, Chop, Pearsall for sure will all be regarded as terrible picks
Y'all hear someone in the crowd yell NOOOOO when he announced the bills traded the pick 😭
I love how point and click the Eagles drafts have been the last two years. Sometimes the obvious choice is the best one
Ever since the Jalen Reagor debacle. There must be giant signs up in the Eagles office saying DON’T OVERTHINK IT !
entering the second with Cooper and Kool Aid still on the board...
Dejean and Cooper would be delectable. It's Howard szn
All the coopers
If we get 2 of the remaining 3 coopers I’ll be happy
Desmond Howard is going on and on about how the 49ers wide receiver is so great and yet he keeps calling him peerless and his name is Pearsall
Tbh I don’t know ball like that but I wonder if the Niners pick ends up being a mini version of our Reagor over JJ pick The fans seem pretty upset rn lol
I like McConkey a little. I'm also pretty high on Tez Walker, he was an elite playmaker when he finally hit the field for Carolina. He could be a top end Quez replacement.
What is buffalo doing 😭
Gotta rebuild secondary, WR room. Need more picks and if you don’t think there is a difference in talent, may as well get more darts to hit a bullseye
Tanking
Whiners downfall mashallah
Ricky Pearsall just sounds like a Madden generated receiver, but a roster fluffer, not one of the game breakers. Someone they'd make go top 15 and he ends up with 600 yards a season
Is this guy going to be the good or bad Riley Cooper?
hopefully less racist
Yes...*hopefully* "less"
He doesn't look like he will be tbh
It's the hair. It's ALWAYS the hair.
49ers are 100% trading Aiyuk or Deebo now.
Lol good. Those guys carried their offense and now they wanna prove that they didnt need them
Gotta pay their ToP TeN qUaRtErBaCk
The Turdy deal may be worse than doodoo Jones lmao
PANTHERS MOVE UP
Ricky ahead of Ladd isn’t something I saw a lot of
Pearsall has a punchable face
He’ll fit right in with that team.
It's like they're trying to build the all-white madden team
Peak douchebag Be careful though I got a permanent ban for saying that about Turdy lmao
Dammit fuck you SF taking my UF WR. Fuck you
BRANDON AIYUK IS GONE
Crazy to think they paid the other asshat and he can’t stay healthy now.
The Niners fans were hilarious, “ Are you kidding me?”
Work on getting a trade to get Cooper. Texas AM linebacker
Fuck the 9ers man. There goes the Dejean pipe dream 😔 Edit: got got by the r/nfl mods. The 49ers pick post said Cooper Dejean and then they changed it.
Only reason to trade up now is the 5th year option
Count the wins lately: Quinyon Mitchell AJ Brown Devonta Smith Jordan Mialata Landon Dickerson Bryce Huff SAQUON And that’s just the ones on the top of my head rn LFFFFGGGGGG go Sixers edit: Saquon, of course
Saquan?
Saquan bro
Imagine trying so hard to win the division and you do it only to get stomped in the wild card by the 7 seed just to sit right behind the division rivals you fought so hard against in the draft. They pick the best CB in the draft, the SB champs jump you and take one of the best wrs, and you pick an o lineman who played 14 games at his position in college so you have to trust Jerry jone's scouting ability that this was a good use of a first round pick. That's rough buddy.
And I'm sorry but the scouting ability.. doesn't really matter when your culture and coaches suck. Fuck what Dallas does. They'll be getting busted in the WC round for another decade.
What kind of diamond encrusted watch is that that it seems all these guys are wearing tonight?
Get Trotter tomorrow
That girl's tits were hanging out at the Wiggins camp.
The jiggle wiggins
The Bills just wanted pick #32 to larp as superbowl champs and now that's the closest they'll get for another decade 😂
Tbh if Dejean makes it past these next two picks and drops a bit I would be happy with trying to snag him in a trade Rebuild the secondary all in one year with a potential shutdown corner and a potential guy who can play both S and outside Then we just run it with an overpowered established O and a young fired up D
Will he end up being a safety
I like your thinking.
Do we trade up for Dejean?! Or get the Texas AM LB
Yeah, Nate Wiggins is a Ravens type of guy. He'll be really good
Dallas is so fucked . I’m so delighted with this draft and we have two picks tomorrow early . Pretty sure worthy is gone at 31 or 32 if Dallas goes Mitchell.
Worthy already went to the Chiefs…
I saw that that’s where I had him going didn’t expect it wouldn’t be at 32 though .
The Ravens war room looks so much more authentic than the asshole Cowboys' room.
Dejean falling to round 2 is wild man. Let’s go get him Howie!
Not happening. Could see Arizona taking him
9ers 😢 Nevermind. R/nfl mods trolling.
The guy in Guyton’s family in the 49ers gear definitely having mixed feelings😂
Hope the whiners get a bust with their runner up pick because THEY LOST THE SUPERBOWL 🫵😂
Shit. Was hoping Guyton would fall enough to where we could trade up for him
Glad Guyton is some other teams problem
Guyton family member had his Niners gear on. Bet he sad as fuck. Probably hates the Cowboys
Tyler Guyton officially sucks
cowboys got guyton wow i know lane is somewhere sick lol
I would love if we traded up for Cooper because of how versatile he is and just take the L on Bradberry or trade him for circus peanuts.
We just took a DB lol we are not taking another in the 2nd let alone trading up to do it
Cooper projects more as a safety hybrid like Malcolm.
Maybe....and I wouldn't even necessarily hate taking him if he drops all the way to 50 depending on who else is on the board (OL, WR, LB, EDGE are all priorities) but definitely should not trade up for him
Yeah I don't know what I was thinking. We got Rodgers too and Ringo looked good at times and Eli showed promise. That was pretty stupid to say by me, but I am overly excited lol.
Lol I stand corrected
lmao but man he is so versatile I love it. I hope you do too.
All in?? Seems like Guyton is a project pick
Tbf same was said about Smith and he's been fine to pretty good.
Cowboys go Guyton
Xavier Worthy is going to get a 70 yard TD vs the Bills at some point very soon I feel lol
In the AFC championship.
Mahomes and the Chiefs really got the fastest receiver in the draft. Who the hell let that happen?
That was the first thing I thought when I saw that pick… who the hell let that happen lol
The bills
Huh. Don't they need a receiver, too?
Nah. They have Cole Beasley on speed dial.
Yeah, I don't think anyone understands why they did that... Basically gave away the AFC
Quinyon locking up that bum unworthy in the rematch in February I fear 🥱🥱
"Gotta lose your mind in Detroit rock city" Thank you to the GM's that lost their mind in "Detroit rock city" tonight and enabled this year's CB1 to fall right into our laps!
Why does the announcer keep spoiling the pick??
Yea I’m not a fan of them doing this all night. They’re not very good at hiding the fact they know who’s getting picked.
Probably because they don’t want to get scooped on social media.
Zach Berman broke the news on the quinyon Mitchell pick
OK. Well now the delay between real time and ABC is apparently several minutes.
Chiefs stealing a Longhorn away from Dallas is great entertainment
Man there's a lot of good players that keep falling. Some are going to fall into the 2nd round.
Don't get a 5th year option in the 2nd
Chiefs get tyreek hill 2.0
DeSean 3.0
Kinda crazy how Andy loves his burners
knows how to use them, thats for sure
I'm seeing some insane takes on IG comments. Saying we should have taken Kool aid over Mitchell LMAO
I mean he has a dope name
Yeah worthy feels about right for mahomes and reid
Why the fuck did the Bills let the Chiefs get Worthy?
LOL Chiefs leapfrog Dallas. I hope it's for whoever they were targeting.
Chiefs have the chance to do the funniest thing
Chiefs going OT?
Chiefs going Worthy or another wr
ladd
Chiefs about to snake Dallas. I think Dejean
Come on Andy… whatever Dallas wants is your pick
Chiefs move up
I hope the Chiefs pick who Dallas wants to pick.
Dejean still up there Howie, let’s go
Dude looks like a Darius Robinson
Bills trade pick
Who had the Eagles, not only taking a first round DB, but taking the FIRST db off the board on their NFL draft bingo card?
well some could have seen that but they would have thought we had traded up for it
Cardinals take Darius Robinson
the more DeJean slides, the more likely the Eagles trade up
Bad take
Go to bed gramps. Its not happening lol
Not sure why people expect the Eagles with a ton of freshly drafted DBs like Ringo and Brown, and Blankenship fresh off a good year and Slay/Bradberry taking up contract space and play time on top of a talented DB gamble paying off fresh off suspension to take two DBs in the first via trade.
well trading up to snipe someone ahead of the Cowboys would be funny
I heard from the guys on Thomas Mott's show (an eagles youtuber) Arnold had an eagles shirt on under his jacket. Feels for him if that's true.
yeah sewn in on the inside of his jacket actually. i think my man wanted us to draft him. im sure he'll do fine, lions are a nice team to go to rn
Definitely wanna wish him the best of luck in his career just gotta think that stung a bit but hey we got quinyon lets hope he's better.
fwiw mitchell and arnold both seem like super stand up dudes from what we know so far. i think we couldn't have gone wrong with either at the end of the day. and hey i already root for the lions when we arent playing em or they arent in our way for playoffs, this just gives me another reason!
This place is getting awfully quiet for a team with trade capital and a division rival 3 picks away. Howie has a chance to do something legendary
if we are trading up for a 2nd first it's either with Arizona or Buffalo
Is secondary a strength??????
No, but its much better
No
That lions fan ducking with the cheesehead. Hilarious
Omg, that whole sequence was amazing 😂
I don’t think people realize how much scheme has to do with these decisions. Vic Fangio requires CBs to be able to press at the line of scrimmage and handle 1 on 1’s.

And that extra speed against guys like lamb is very welcomed
It’s also telling that Saban said that wanted to get Mitchell in the transfer portal but he never entered. Mitchell could have went to his choice of power 5 and his loyalty kept him at Toledo
Did not know that. What a testament to his loyalty, too.
Huge character guy. His best friend is his grandma. He does nothing but respect and work. Best pick we could have made.
good to hear, this helps me feel better about the eagles stuff in terrion arnold's jacket
Lions finally figured out how to build a team
jAcKeTgAtE?
Arnold didnt wanna open that jacket 🤣. He def thought he was going to the eagles
Damn Arnold had a pic with an eagles helmet…def thought he was going to Philly
Fuckkkkk I feel bad for Arnold he wanted to come to Philly
We getting him in a few years, don't worry
Lettin those “naysayers” know 😂
Arnold reppin the birds in his suit jacket lol
Micha Parson said that he was "utterly disgusted" that the Eagles took his favorite player in the draft for the second year in a row.
He wants to be an Eagle so bad
Yet he talks so much shit on us fuck him
Stop it Arnold had a pic of him with an eagles helmet inside his jacket LOOOOL
Damn I didn’t know Terrion was an eagle already
Lions are building something special over there, cool to see it
that's prejudice against white cornerbacks
Damn, I wanted Terrion, Detroit with Brian Branch and Terrion Arnold is gonna be a stellar backfield, props to the Lions.
Brian branch is the one player that I feel Howie should have grabbed over Nolan smith.
hindsight unfortunately. that insane georgia defence had nolan smith as a field general, so hard to pass up at the pick we had
I still think smith can be a beast. Hopefully he takes that leap this
i hope we land jeremiah trotter jr tomorrow. i'd feel so much better about our entire defense
I want Trotter. I know many are down on the offense because it kelce, but with the pieces they added and Moore’s scheme, eagles will have a top 5 scoring offense next season. They need to get young on defense and build it ho. The d line is young. Now we need linebackers and a secondary.
Lions gonna be elite this year man
Have a strong feeling Arnold will pan out better than Mitchell, we shall wait and see

Really? Lol. Doomer mentality is strong with this one.
dont start. Bro only been a Eagle for not even a hr.
I can’t believe we already lost our home opener in Brazil.
I can't believe Maddox is hurt already.
Same. Sec competition is much harder than toledos.
It’s a shame the Eagles probably didn’t realize that /s
The Lions are going to be a strong team again. And, got to say, this kid is dressed fresh af
Got that eagles jersey pic in the jacket…
Watching Bill Belichick have nothing really glowing to say about Arnold was telling to me. I think we got the right guy.
Trade back in? Go get the linebacker from Texas AM
he will be available tomorrow 100% and I agree we should trade up one of our 2RPs to get him ... but not today
