I wouldn’t be surprised with at least a championship appearance again but I also wouldn’t be shocked if we slip slightly to 10-7/11-6 and 6th or 7th seed?

Jayden will keep us competitive but how does the retooled team respond.

Compete for the division for sure, but no complaints about taking a wild-card spot. Eagles will probably be tough next year too.

It's going to be a LONG LONG wait for FA to start. I think you look forward to it even more when you're on the cusp of being a regular super bowl contender.

Trent Scott filled in pretty dang good at OG. I'm curious to see if he sticks on the roster next season as a swing G rather than an OT.

Eagles are one of the youngest teams in the league and will get younger moving on from Slay and Johnson. Keeping contracts low they could be a very tough out

That's depressing information. Sad panda.

Howie Rosman vs. Adam Peters GM Duel for the next 10 years could be a thing.

I might get torched for this but I felt Peters did better in FA than draft (which is still way early to judge) JD was obvious I feel his real hit was Mikey but we need more of those type of picks.

I still think Sinnott is going to be good. But Ertz outperformed probably all of our expectations (including Peters). And TE is a tough position for a rookie. Hopefully Sinnott is a valid starting option in 2025.

Each draft you want at least 3 long-term starters. We have 2 for sure with Jayden and Sainristil. I think Coleman can be a starter but hopefully at LG and Sinnott.

But 2 of those 4 are just projections, so I won't torch you. And Peters brought in the right FA's. He pretty much hit on all of them.

It's hard to compare though, because draft picks are long term choices, while FA signings were a lot of 1 or 2 year patchwork jobs to help build the culture.

Overall, Peters gets an Easy A from me.

AP's draft got high grades at the time, and the season showed those grades were well earned. Here is the rookie draft. (few played like rookies though):
1-{2): QB Jayden Daniels, LSU

2 (36): DI Jer’Zhan Newton, Illinois

2 (50): CB Mike Sainristil, Michigan

2 (53): TE Ben Sinnott, Kansas State

3 (67): OT Brandon Coleman, TCU

3 (100): WR Luke McCaffrey, Rice

5 (139): LB Jordan Magee, Temple

5 (161): S Dominique Hampton, Washington

7 (222): EDGE Javontae Jean-Baptiste, Notre Dame

The first 3 picks look to grow into studs.
Sinnott and Magee were key ST's with high upside
Sinnott was tucked clearly behind Ertz, who played above expectations and was a clear safety valve for Daniels - I think Sinnott takes that role next year.
Hampton and Jean-Baptiste were good role players on the team for late round picks.

The only pick I think will be an obvious whiff is McCaffrey and even he showed value on returns.

Coleman held his own at LT, that was huge. He was a 3rd round selection who easily could have been a bust (think Evan Neal drafted by the NYG a few years ago) long termhe may move to OG if we get an elite LT, but he is a longterm OL fixture in the 3rd round.

I don't get what more you want from AP's draft?

I didn't say it was bad I just think he did a better job getting key FA pieces

Well Ill say it. AP knows as much about football as my grandmother does. He sucks. FA and the draft were both jokes last year that got us nowhere fast and the Daniels pick is just a dingleberry on the top of a mountain of shit that this franchise has become since Snyder and Rivera left.

Hate to say it but Roseman is one of if not the best GM in football.

Might be safe to assume Philly and Was will be duking it out in the East for years to come. Giants and Cowboys just floundering around aimlessly.

I’m ok with that. I’d rather Philly also suck, but you can’t have everything.

And Jayden is going to get better, and AP will make sure the team around him does too. The added talent, growth of 5, and three less fumbles and I give us a punchers chance.
