I wouldn’t be mad but honestly we should not feel the need to lock ourselves into edge with pick number 8, it should be the best player available regardless of position. We will have a top ranked player available at 8 which could be a CB, safety, DT, WR, etc

yes!

My philosophy has always been that you should only draft QB, LT or edge rusher inside the top 10. The reason being is that you are most likely drafting that high because you lack one or more of those positions. 

Now I know availability of those positions in any particular draft can be problematic especially they talent available. In our case this season I would rate edge rusher is number 1 on our list. The other two will vary depending on who you ask. I think they are OK for next year.

I feel like he is even more raw and unpolished than Carter. He's an athletic freak for sure but we need a slam dunk pick and we shouldn't talk ourselves out of a good football player because of positional value. Luke was a top 10 pick and a MLB, was he overrated because of where he was picked at? Maybe, but I would draft him #1 overall in his draft looking back.

    • The fact we had Cam and couldn't hit back to back winning seasons is a sad, sad organizational failure 
    • No offense taken. I was just pointing out that a solid team is not going to miss on their 1st and 2nd round picks for several years in a row. They may have a bad year...but not a string of successive failures. If they did that year in and year out...then they'd be us. Here's what is disheartening. The Eagles have been competitive for most of this decade which means they are typically picking later in the draft and almost always after us. This means we probably had a shot at most of those players while we were on the clock.  In hindsight I tend to agree that our 2024 draft could have been better. I'm still willing to give Morgan the benefit until the end of the 2025 season to see if last year's rookies (Legette, Sanders) show significant improvement in the upcoming season. I like what he did by addressing the interior o-line. I don't think Clowney was a bad acquisition. Jalen Coker was a steal as an UDFA. What really tainted our 2024 class was the Brooks selection in round 2. He probably won't be ready until 2026 which means he'd be halfway thru his rookie deal before he can make an impact. I can see taking a day 3 gamble on an injured RB, but not on day 2 when you have so many holes to fill. I'm just glad Chuba really hit his stride last season to give us a viable running game. 
    • Only players I would consider drafting at 8 is Carter, Hunter, and Graham. If none of these 3 are available, I trade back. Thats just my opinion.
