Wondering if they had offers out to him and maybe Lockett, Allen, and/or Kupp and it looked like they were all looking elsewhere or wanting more money than they wanted to spend. He makes sense to me as a WR3/WR4 but still definitely need competition there.

I think they still need one more wideout - unless they plan on drafting one in first 3 rounds.

Hybrid WR/RB - a gadget player (Williamson) that Johnson can be creative with. 

fun!

More than likely WR4 and possibly Punt Returner. I think he replaces Carter more than anyone else. 


I think so too.

I wouldnt be surprised at all to see us grab a WR in the first 3 rounds. TE too, or at least one of the two.

I think this guy can do some things for us in the slot too.

He's competition for Scott.  Might be better than Scott on route running/in out of his cuts.  Not as fast in a straight line plus he's a basket catcher not a true hands catcher.  Although Scott shares that trait on many catches as well.   As 4th/5th WRs go this is ok but IMO we still need a valid #3 WR.

My guy is Jalen Royals WR Utah.  If we are lucky to get him rd 3, he'd be the steal of the draft.  Injury limited him to 7 games last year otherwise he'd be 1st rd talk.

Just an addition to the room that Ben can play with. I suspect either him or Scott make the team, probably not both.

I just woke up, during my nighttime I keep checking to see if we have additions and first time I sleep for 3 hours we add someone.

Yeah that kids got some quickness and is an easy-hands catcher.  He sits at 57 on Draft Network's board.  He might make it to early 3rd Rd.

He kind of reminds me of DJ size wise. He'd be a good #3/slot and replace DJ in a couple years.

Definitely a name I like - my guess is we see dline, oline and RB with 3 of first 4 picks…so maybe wideout is the next (or te) or safety or another dlinemen. 
 

A trade down or two to get a few extra picks in a draft where the top isn’t super strong but than the next pool is deep would be awesome.

As far as starters, we can roll out with no more additions. Everyone we add now are backups. OZ, Scott could get us by. Samon Toure, john Jackson are still on the roster. 

Could Ian Wheeler be our 3 rd back? Wasn't he going to be a kick retuner before he got hurt?

We have draft picks to add. Every position could be upgraded but nothing is a must do. 

As of now we have 3 primary weapons, Kmet, Odunze and DJ, plus Swift and Johnson.

I'm not sure we really have a starter at LT or SS, and I bet we will have new starters at RB and WR3 before this is all over too. Maybe a CB too as a wildcard, although less likely.

There are positions where depth is more critical and Dline is at the top of that list because 4 DTs and 3 DEs will see snaps every game.  RB is similar.

for sure. I was just answering the starter question. You can never have too many pass rushers as the Eagles have proven :)

LT is still a starter need i think?

The draft will determine if those positions have new starters. Braxton and Kiran will attack the LT position untill they prove they can't get better. If we draft Jeanty then that explains itself. 

My point was they are done with big contracts and will bring in a few vets but doubt any as starters. What they pick and where will tell it's own story as to if they think they will be our new starters.
