Quarterback factory!? The 2 best quarterback gurus we had aren't even here anymore in Flipp and Reich? Howie you are a moron! Meanwhile everyother team in our division are loading up with talent! How much is any of that talent going to help them this year? Honestly, how many draft picks this year are really going to make a difference? There will be no OTAs, a good chance that there will be limited or no training camp and possibly a delayed start to the season. Most of these guys will be sitting home looking through a playbook but will not be with their team mates, learning from one another or how things are done in the NFL. As much of a head scratcher this pick is and pundits want to say that they should have picked a player that will help immediately, not a single one of these drafts picks are going to do that this year.

Libtard nation Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hurts is a winner! Gonna prove it over and over again ... great locker room guy ... plenty of talent ... howie did not do this without Doug... this is more on doug than howie ... howie will take the heat though .. to me this pick is on Doug's ego ... not so sure this pick is as bad as most on this board think ... as always time will tell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This move isn’t new historically, and it’s not something unique even in this specific draft. If you’re going to care this much maybe you should have spent your time more wisely to become an nfl player or an nfl coach so that you could actually have some influence over what happens. Rodgers is 36. Wentz is 27. Packers are looking for their next qb, just like they did when they draft Rodgers at pick 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb235 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The only thing I can think, based on their first three picks, is that there isn't going to be any offseason, if there is even a regular season, and that they may as well take guys who have high upsides regardless of position and try to develop them. I guess if you think this kid can be a superstar with a little coaching, you can't argue with the pick. The only problem is that the team has so many holes due to bad drafting that taking a risk like this seems bizarre. Then again, next year's draft may be even more screwed up if there isn't much of a college season, so we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwestbrook36 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I'm sad because I keep trying to justify this damn pick and I can't. Only thing I keep telling myself is if Carson gets hurt again and this guy steps in and plays great it will all be worth it. That's the best spin I can put on this. With Carson's injury issues we may see this kid soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20dawk4life Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Another reason to believe the pick was way too early is there were no other qb drafted after him yesterday. Sure it's possible that someone else would have drafte him in the third but at least trade back from 53 and get him. The 5 teams after us would not have gone QB. Maybe New England does but even that's questionable. After them the next 6 teams wouldn't. Then maybe the lions do, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty confident they would make some trades in the first 3 rounds given the number of picks they have in the 4th but nada so far. Not their usual MO. Did the Slay trade really stop them from making moves in the draft this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdsFanBill Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 After sleeping on it. I have to say I think there were bigger needs to address in the 2nd round, but I'm also not mad that we have Jalen hurts now. I do like the idea of wentz taking a few less hits with hurts getting few snaps or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady at 36 - loses AFCCG to denver Brady at 37 - wins Super Bowl Brady at 38 - loses AFCCFG to denver Brady at 39 - 27-3 super bowl win Brady at 40 - loses super bowl (go eagles!)

He seams to be reaching for all his picks this year. Howie might need someone there to hold his hand more.

Bloodtype_Green Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The odds are against Wentz playing a full season healthy. Its the truth us Eagles fans have to live with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw enough at Alabama to not have faith in any pro potential. We've seen guys like this show flashes but fade not long after and I believe that's his ceiling.

Han Solo Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I'm show nothing but love for Hurts. I like the player, I just don't like the decision. I hope they prove us all wrong. On the plus side, maybe we'll get a Hurts to Ertz TD... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk everyone always says we reached on pretty much anyone they havent heard espn talk about nonstop. Reager clearly wasnt a reach after 45 wide receivers were drafted after him. If they really wanted hurts he probly wouldnt have been there rd 3. It's not like they are going 4 rounds ahead on guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's crazy it's almost like if your team sucks and you have a much higher draft pick you can pick better players. Seems unfair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
