Yes the bears did. would it have been worth to give up picking smith for that?

The Eagles did fine. I still think Sewell was a top 3 player in the draft and it sucks that they could have had him. I hope having 3 first round picks next year pays off.

I have no ties to PSU and was hoping the Eagles took Parsons. Still, seems like the trade benefited both teams and screwed the Giants.

Always hate seeing a PSU player in Dallas. So what did the Eagles give the Cowboys anyway?

The WR room is a little crowded now, You have Smith, Reagor, Ward, Hightower, Watkins, Fulgham and JJAW.

If they have to get rid of one, I'd vote JJAW off the island.

3 next year would be great. The eagles pick will probably be pretty high. Who knows about the Dolphins. maybe mid round first. And the colts one will probably be toward the back end as you think they will be winning in order to keep wentz playing.

The Cowboys always seem to make good picks, but mess up despite their talent. I hated them getting Parsons.

So, net: #6, #84 and #156 got us #10, #123, and a 2022 1st. Good value. Would have rather kept 84 and given up the round 4 #6 but gotta do what ya gotta do.

This from another board is an even deeper dive into all the trades:

If you really want to expand it (the 5th we traded in the trade back was the result of a series of trades last year during the draft):

Out:
Carson Wentz
2021 6 (Jaylen Waddle)
2020 146 (Tyler Biadasz)

In:
2021 10 (DeVonta Smith)
2021 123 overall
2022 Conditional Colts 1st
2022 Dolphins 1st
2020 196 (Shaun Bradley)
2020 200 (Quez Watkins)
2020 233 (Casey Toohill)

I guess it's crowded, but Smith seems to be the best one by a mile. I like Reagor more than most, have always like Ward, and Fulgham had a few great games... but if the Eagles drafted a WR with the next pick, then they would probably be the 2nd best WR on the team.

I don't mind what the Eagles did at all, but I think the Giants trade down was better than the Eagles trade down and think Parsons and a 3rd might be better than Smith. I really hope that Smith and a future 1st is better than Sewell, but I really like Sewell.

Now to the positive. Smith won the Heisman with crazy numbers the last two years. And the draft board today looks good. Here's what I have:

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB/S, Notre Dame
Azeez Ojulari, EDGE, Georgia
Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia
Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU
Christian Barmore, DT, Alabama

I am salivating at Barmore next to Fletcher, but am fine with anyone on my board. Campbell ran a 4.37 at his pro day.... what is the knock on him?

The other corner from his team ran a 4.29, that's the only problem, Campbell would be fine at 37, so would any of the other guys you listed and also Samuel Jr. would be a good fit. I think the d-backs are the focus in round two, there is still strong CB and the best S in the draft are still on the board, so I would be happy with Moehrig, Samuel Jr. or Campbell. I'd like LB Jabril Cox in the 3rd.

Stokes was widely known as one of the fastest players in CFB before workouts. If Campbell ran .1 (or less) behind him, then what exactly is the problem?

I was saying that sarcastically, he was bypassed by a workout, or you could say Mamulaed, there is no problem with him, I'd be okay if the Eagles took him, I personally prefer Samuel Jr..

Gotcha. Without a common workout, I know pro days can be viewed as manipulated times.

IMO, Campbell is much better in man defense and seems to have good instincts and measurables. Not a bad player, but I think Samuel should be a late 2nd or early 3rd.

meant to reply to this sooner. I am not giving up on Reagor, he was injured and never got going, but I think the talent is there, with a fresh full camp and healthy, he may still be a really good player. He'll forever be in the shadow of Jefferson, but now with Smith, he might be a great # 2.

So, I the only one that thinks it would be funny to get Asante Samuel Jr. He is listed as the 5th best player available and we have the 5th pick and an obvious need at CB (and of course LB, TE, DL and S).

I'd be okay with that, but if Moehrig is there, I'd be hard pressed to pass on him.
