People are going to say we got fleeced in this but here's the truth. Kony wasn't making the team this year. He's in the final year of his contract too so good luck with that New England. 

This is a HUGE step for Gettleman imo. He's showing that he can admit to past mistakes. 

We have two second round picks now- smells like a move back into the first. 

 

you sir have got the right idea.  

Honestly at a glance unless NE turns ealy into a starter,  we won this trade

Don't know how I feel about this. Making a trade with the Pats makes me wary, they're prolly gonna turn Ealy into a stud. Pats 2nd round pick is also basically a 3rd round pick.

Ealy is a dud. He will be serviceable at best. We basically got that pick back to get a better player or move back in the first. Who cares what the Patriots do with him

They moved back 8 spots for our starting defensive end last year. Can't say that we are getting away with robbery here.

This has to be Gettleman admitting it didn't work out. I'm extremely surprised.

Adams and Ross/Howard in round one fellas.

This is what I'm thinking/hoping. Especially on the Ross front. We are lacking speed in a big way with the departure of Ginn. We obviously have interest with the scheduling of a private workout with him. We have to fill that void. 

 

I'd love this if it ended up happening.

Our 2nd round pick and the NE 2nd round pick can be combined to move back into the first round for a better DE than Kony. Those two picks have the value of the #22 pick.

Not nearly as happy finding out it was our original 3rd instead of the comp 3rd.  Just to move up 8 spots and lose a starter.  No, I'm back to thinking Gettleman is incompetent.

Ealy isn't a starter.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.
