Jesus, how does this fuck always get premium value out of players? Like is Jordan Davis good? Sure he is a good player. Is he a first and second round pick good? Like better than Quinnen Williams return good? Fuck no.

It's good value but you still have to hit on picks and that isn't exactly Roseman's strong suit, plus that 1st from Jacksonville looks like it's going to be no better than about 25.

The difference between this rebuild and the previous rebuild is he pulled a huge trick in trading Wentz for a 1 and then finagled an offense around a shitty QB because they had elite OL holdovers plus an elite OL coach, this time they don't have any future HOF holdovers on the OL nor do they have the elite OL coach to turn late round picks like Mailata into elite players.

I'm sure he'll hit on his fair share of picks and maybe flip a few for some established players, but this rebuild is going to be much longer than the first and it's highly unlikely it results in another SB-caliber team within just a few years.

I will say, the Eagles know how to rip it up and rebuild. God I wish we could do this instead of constantly limping to mediocrity.

That's not our problem, we have a top 10 roster in the league, the problem is the owner is demented and purposely kneecaps his team with bullshit HC's because he's still jealous of Jimmy Johnson.

As long as that is the case it doesn't matter if we go all in, trade all of our players for picks, or anywhere in between.
 
First rounder sounds great, but that might be in the late 20s or even 30.

Feels rich to give up a second for Bates. Nothing against the player but it's his 9th year in the NFL and he is a safety. A second and fifth feels expensive to me for a player getting long in the tooth.

They overpaid for sure but I respect their commitment for going all in. An actual “All in.” Not the ones we get.
 
I also think people don't realize how bad the Eagles roster is right now.

Their building blocks for the next 3-5 years are Devonta Smith, Makai Lemon, Cooper DeJean, Jalen Carter, Quinyon Mitchell and I guess Nolan Smith?

That's as bare as it gets and is basically a rebuild from complete scratch.

I really hope you're right. It's still hard to believe they won two Super Bowls (allegedly) with Nick Foles, Jalen Hurts and Butthole Eyes.

I just don't believe that they'll be able to build both an elite OL and DL again, while also covering up for an average at best QB.

The big difference is they had carryover on the OL with Stoutland, Kelce and Johnson from 2017 to 2022-24.

Their OL is in need of a complete rebuild and I don't think they have a single long term starter there.

I was just assuming they were going to get rid of Hurts. And use everything they've accumulated to replace him. But maybe they can't do that given his contract.
