Fitzy: Source tells him that if Abdul Carter is available at 4 the Eagles will offer AJ Brown for the pick

[Ring 6]

He looked a lot better that’s Polk and Baker thus far.
are we eyeing 2 to 3, WRs in this draft.

Being better than Polk and baker isn’t a very high bar.
If we draft a WR2 Boutte is fighting to make the team as a bench guy.

 

[Real fan 02]

If we draft a WR you have Diggs, Douglass, rookie, Hollins and them Bourne, Polk, Boutte fighting for 1 or 2 spots that will be buried on th rg berth chart.

Forgot about Hollins... another big 6'4 guy... do you anticipate we move on from KB?

 

[Love The Drake]

Steelers would trade Pickens if a strong offer presents itself.
Per Schefter
Watch out for Pats and Bills.
I wouldn’t rule it out.
I know a lot of the people on this boards head would explode.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Wich is surprising because he was a starter all season last season.

And cut after the season because he was limited.

Who plays LG if Strange is C?

That is the million dollar question. Andy thinks it is fake news. Vrabel definitely left the door open for Strange at center. Why did Vrabel leave the door open?

Maybe the draft will tell us. If the Pats draft a LG then Strange to Center? If the Pats draft a Center, then Strange back to LG?

Mine's wouldn't Diggs and Pickens SB here we come.

Which KB? Maybe both.

Say we nice up and get Egbuka

You’ve got Diggs, Egbuka, Douglass taking the brunt of the snaps with Hollins filling in and playing as the “blocking wr”. Who ever is left is sitting the bench. Polk as a second year second rounder probably gets that role, developing guy not to be relied upon and we may not keep 6.

You bring in multiple qualified candidates for each job and ultimately the best player will play. Competition will sort it out.

Bradbury signed what amounts to a one year deal. Strange has one season to prove he’s healthy and can contribute. May the best man win, the next best may be playing guard if they both look good.

 

[PatsFan2]

He’s not good and we want better players. It’s assuming we draft a wr

You talking about K Boutte AJ?? If you are I disagree.

 

[Love The Drake]

Mine's wouldn't Diggs and Pickens SB here we come.

I totally can see it play out where we trade for AJ, Eagles trade for Pickens and they don’t miss a beat.

Steve’s head the first to explode in this scenario.
But I think it’s more likely we trade for AJ, and Eagles nab Pickens and keep rolling.

Well.. we know from last season specifically that depth on the OL is vital.. I also believe that's what vrables thinking.. Strange IMO likely is the LG. But can fill in at C due to injury.. also Benny brown who was serviceable was extended at C.. add in Bradbury who's a veteran and who's got starting experience in a real offense.

I'm guessing vrables just exploring everything either the OL.

Eagles Dead money for Trading A.J. Brown is very significant.

Interesting... or.. we get some production from polk and he carves out a role In The rotation.. ?? KB meaning Kendrick Bourne

Bradury is 30 years old in June, and was cut by the Vikings because his play slipped in 2024. Bardbury is a place holder which is not similar to Strange's situation at all.

I doubt that. The coaching staff has a plan. It might evolve a bit, but they know directionally how they are going forward.

Let me correct myself.. yes of course he absolutely has a plan, unlike last season. I mean all good coaches explore the roster positions and groupings it's a good thing. BB did it his entire career here. Strange was drafted as a G.. 2 seasons ago. Unless he's going to thrive at C there's no point in moving him if vrables determines after training camp getting pushed on his ass every snap by Williams that he's not up to it.. obviously I'm just speculating..

LTD,

True, but Bradbury is much smaller and weaker than Strange. If Strange is getting push around then Bradbury will be worse. The Pats have lined up two guys with high mobility to play Center.
