The Eagles literally have one job night one of the draft... get a stud WR And if that means trading up to get Ruggs or Lamb, you do it. You have a ton of draft capital this year TO do it with teams like the Niners who want to trade down and they're in the prime spot for a Lamb/Ruggs pick. Wentz needs recievers, probably more than one this draft (KJ Hamler from Penn State is a good day two pick), so please... get it done. This is a stacked WR class, they don't need to trade up to get one They will stay be in position to draft Higgins or Jefferson by the time their number comes up That's high for Higgins (and Aiyuk tbh), but Jefferson will be there and seems to be a popular projection for them. I think he'll be good, but I get that he's not a sexy pick for them. San Fran could move down, but they're also a target to take a top WR and that would probably cost more than it would be worth.

In any other year, Tua Tagovailoa would be the second quarterback off the board and teams would be tripping over themselves to trade up to draft him. But in a year where teams can't double- and triple-check his hip injury, there exists the very real possibility that Justin Herbert gets taken ahead of Tagovailoa purely because he's a safer bet and coaches/GMs don't want to risk their jobs on a hip injury that may or may not be fully healed. I still think Tua will end up being the better pro, but I also think there's a chance Herbert gets taken by the Dolphins at 5 and Tua falls to the Chargers at 6, or maybe he even drops further than that if teams are really unsure about his recovery. It won’t happen for a bunch of various reasons, but he’s my dream pick at 13. If he falls to 13 someone will trade up for him, if I had to guess it would be the Patriots.

They were paying people to leak that Jerry Jeudy has a horrible knee condition to try to get him to fall to them.

You wanna talk weird rumors? In the last 24 hours from some reputable sources, the Chiefs have spent serious time on Jalen Reagor and Laviska Shenault.

That sounds like some BS that would get people fined or fired if even attempted by a team.

Higgins I think is viable choice there tho considering you might have Jefferson get taken The WR's are going to be coming off fast once the first one is chosen but it is in the up in the air where they will go since Jets need one but might go OL, and 49ers could go for one but might fall back

If he was consensus 5th best and the talent level warranted it. Aiyuk is more considered 5th and I wouldn't take him that high, and I don't think either are what Philly is looking for. But if they traded back to close to the end of R1, then yeah.

You say that like we don't see teams bet on players and go outside the broken path I'm not saying it will happen, just that it is a possibility.

That's why you don't smoke before the draft A college QB turned WR goes in the first round who NEVER BEEN A FULL TIME WR IN COLLEGE!!!!

He didn't even make it past 4 years Right or wrong, those combine numbers can be scary one way or another. It is a reason why some people had reservations on DK Metcalf tho Seattle kept it simple and it paid off, just use that burner speed and we will find you

Tee Higgins is going to be higher on some teams boards, if you run a Chiefs scheme that is about speed and separation, he's probably like 15th on their board. If you are a team that does things like jump balls and cares about catch radius and a big body he's going to be in your top 4.

Yea, but not everybody can run that scheme nor does everyone have a QB like Mahomes who can get outside the pocket and create to make those crazy plays That's why Jeudy, Ruggs, and Lamb are the 3 people assume will come off first in whatever order. Those guys are being drafted to be looked at as a potential number one while Higgins, Jefferson can develop into number ones but you don't want them as your first option on your team

I think he can be a 1 pretty quickly to be honest. To add I have a slight personal stake in tonight's draft, Isaiah Simmons grew up in Olathe Kansas, about 20 minutes down the road from me, it would be nice if he ended up in KC but I know that ain't happening so I wish him all the luck.

With the Patriots holding the 23rd pick tonight, and then not drafting again until pick no. 87 (the 23rd pick in the third round), I fully expect them to trade down and possibly out of the first round tonight in exchange for multiple picks later in the draft. They have multiple holes they need to address across the roster due in part to some underwhelming draft classes in recent years (although it's still too early to fully grade the 2019 class).
If I'm a guessing man, I'll say they trade 23 to the Seattle Seahawks for picks 27 and 64. Or maybe they drop out of the first round altogether and move 23 to the Dolphins for something like picks 39, 70, and 154.

I like Jefferson, he's def going to contribute to someone squad. Ruggs has that freak ability that people fall in love with because if they can harness that raw energy he can be a beast but they got to decide is it worthy enough to gamble on over Jeudy who biggest complain right now might be because he didn't get bumped around in college and they don't know how he will react in the NFL
