    awesome. Exactly the type of guy you want on your team and in your corner imo. Plus coming off a SB dub.

    Usually the Eagles know what they are doing - especially compared to the Texans.

    Green is young and was a top 15 pick by the Texans - so the Eagles must see something in him.

    On a side note - the #15 pick on Green? Someone needs to take the phone away from Caserio when it comes to drafting offensive linemen.

    They had eyes on Holland, but he turned out to be too expensive. Houston still ends up with the better player at half the price.
    This reassures me of one thing. It's the way to the future: Target teams that need to clear up space from past shopping binges and offer late rounders for players with 2 years left, even 1 year if you really like them.

    With the salary cap always increasing, thirsty teams pay $5 million or more than they should in free agency. Most FA contracts are 3 years anyway.
    Good way to game the system while you can. Ballin on a budget

    For the draft, we should just take a massive white-guy o-lineman from the Midwest (Wisconsin/Michigan/Ohio State/Iowa) and stop going for the ultra athletic linemen. At least this way you get the work ethic and smarts and your floor is high. Might not have the elite ceiling, but a solid multi-year starter is almost a guarantee.

    We probably wouldn't have Karami, but so wanted Riq Woolen (over Thomas Booker)

    He also had an ankle injury iirc that required surgery and sidined him like half the season and all the post season. Plus a 2021 season ending foot injury. Sorry but dude has glass feet. Maybe a day three pick but not a day 1 or 2 pick. Juice, Blake and Pat all missed games last year bc of injury. Don’t need to add to that.

    If Kenyon develops, it would be a massive strike against our coaching.

    I think that outcome is more likely than not.

    Do you think the Texans should have kept him? If Green turns it around over there, good for him for getting himself together.

    I’m saying our coaching is suspect

    Watched the Eagles interview and Kenyon has that same IDGAF face he had here.
