I'm uncomfortable with Moses in the 1st. I really hope a prospect falls so we don't reach for this guy.

On Roberson, I like him and don't hate the pick but I just don't see the team going CB early, unless it is for a top guy like Fuller in the 1st.

Retarded? What are you basing this off of?

Abbrederis could easily be BPA in the 3rd...

 

Well obviously i dont know for sure, but..

 

1. Current draft grades.

2. The depth at each position

3. Teams' needs

 

The guy might be a good receiver but being one of the best route-runners in the draft doesnt mean you are primed for the NFL. Route-running, believe it or not, can be improved while athleticism cannot. GMs are clearly more interested in the latter. People keep talking about his performance against Roby, I didn't watch that game but i did watch Robys DB drills during the combine and he looked very stiff which can get you in trouble against good route runners in college.

 

 

His need for attention.

I honestly think Eagles want Odell Beckham over Cooks. Philly media is having a hard on for Beckham. Beckham have a very good first two steps which is essential in philly offense.

I wouldn't be upset if we got Beckham either but Cooks has always been my first choice.

Ok, fair.. but its also nuts to think he or roberson will be the BPAs at our picks in the 2nd or 3rd, actually thats just downright retarded.

 

Do not know much about Roberson....so I can't comment on him.

 

If JA is there at the end of the 3rd, I would say that he probably IS tha BPA at that position.

Wow. He is primed for the NFL. Being so pro ready for the NFL, gives JA a head start over a ton of prospects. This means he can work on other things like strength etc and be ready to be a day 1 starter.

GMs are clearly more interested in athleticism?(not both?) Like what evidence do you have of this. Plus JA might not be the the fasted or most elusive but he's on the field quick.

Have you even watched Abbrederis? And how can you judge Roby solely on combine drills???

I wouldn't mind it, albeit the draft as a whole would depend on the picks following these 3, but it seems reasonable and realistic, regardless of what people think. However, I think DG surprises us in the first 3 rounds by going DL/LB at some point or a possible double dip at OT. The draft just needs to get here already...

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
