Let's go to Philadelphia Eagles connections …

NFL 2019 Draft: LB T.J. Edwards – 5th Quarter Bucky Supervisory Report
Highlights: Extremely high football intelligence. Muscular, particularly thick in the upper body. As reliable as the linebacker in this class. Do a good job of disengaging the offensive linemen at the second level. Exceptional trainer. Excels in the box and in the traffic. Above-average awareness in the coverage of the lower zone. Weaknesses: Average at best athletically. Lack of the speed needed to play line by line. Has rarely been invited to play the man blanket in college. Summary: If it was in 2003, Edwards would be a top 50. Edwards' career will be determined by his ability to bridge some of his sporting shortcomings to the next level. Probably an inner linebacker 3-4 only. Can he stay on the ground the third down when the offense becomes empty or 10 staff? Go straight into the building and out of the field. Should be an excellent special teamer. Lost 10-15 pounds before draft – will it make it faster?

2019 unassisted free agent class analysis of the Eagles (unofficial) – PhillyVoice
The prize of this class is Wisconsin LB T.J. Edwards, who, in my opinion, would have been a perfectly reasonable choice in the fifth round, if the Eagles had been there. Instead, they were able to catch him as an uneducated free agent. […] Edwards does not have a good track record, and although you do not want him to cover players like Tarik Cohen or Alvin Kamara, he's good in coverage, especially in area assignments, which Jim Schwartz favors over his linebackers.

Tyreek Hill Investigation to Have Impacted Eagles Projects in 2019 NFL Project – BGN
the Eagles were affected by the domino effect of the ongoing Tyreek Hill investigation. With Hill's future in the NFL very uncertain, the Chiefs were in a hurry to negotiate up to 56th place to choose his potential replacement for Mecole Hardman. And with the fast prospects of the Georgian receiver, the Jets were no longer interested in an exchange until the choice of Eagles at No. 57.

Two years ago, the Jets made an effort to get Alvin Kamara. This year, the team targeted another offensive weapon while it was negotiating an exchange with the Eagles (that's what Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News wrote today, and I confirmed it) at 57 years old. This effort was rendered useless by an aggressive piece of the Chiefs competing for the Rams' 56th pick and getting that player, the Hardman Mecca from Georgia. Clearly, the Tyreek Hill situation had exacerbated the need, but the Chiefs were not convinced that Hardman would be what Hill was. In their opinion, he is somewhere between Hill and De'Anthony Thomas as a return player, and I had another evaluator evaluated. For whom were the chiefs worried? They knew the existence of the Jets, but the Eagles and Colts, who also had receptor needs, were also present. It was said that the Eagles liked Parris Campbell from the Ohio State more than Hardman for this kind of role and ended up taking a more traditional position (J.J. Arcega-Whiteside of Stanford). Colts? They loved Hardman, but I understand they had Campbell, whom they took at 59, also over him.

Who will replace Jordan Hicks? The Eagles linebacker in the last four seasons is now in Arizona, and despite recovering from L.J. in an independent attack, the linebacker's position still seems light. Howie Roseman, executive vice president of football operations, said the talent acquisition season was not over. Look for them to add via the exchange or signature before the end of the off season.

"In many ways, we're boring," Roseman told me at the NFL's annual meeting at the end of March. "We are sort of predictable. This will be line O; it will be line D and we will build from there. His actions speak as loud as those words. The Eagles have devoted considerable resources to the line of scrimmage in recent months in order to have a dominant offensive line and defensive line.

As Chris Long prepares to leave the Eagles, tribute: Macnow – Metro
Although he has only spent two seasons here, Long leaves a legacy that Philadelphia fans should celebrate for years. I'm talking about it today because it's more and more obvious. The days of Long as an eagle are over. Since the end of the season, he has hinted that he probably would not come back and he was clearer last Friday tweeting: "I'm not prepared to come back play 10 to 15 base. I'm overqualified and it's a lot of sacrifice … when I have no opportunity to help the team. As a player, Long was good, not great, in midnight green over the past two seasons. We did not have the best of his career, most of them in St. Louis. He still totaled 11.5 bags and 38 shots in the quarter. At the same time, six forced escapes took place, mainly at critical moments of the matches. He also recovered a Case Keenum fumble in the 2017 NFC championship game against Minnesota.

Stop the fight. This thought seemed to cross the minds of each of the remarkable characters on the screen at some point during the Sunday night heavyweight battle (which we praised as an iPhone with zero brightness in the summer sun). All night was a step forward, two steps back for the crew to defend Winterfell. Bloody and upset, each character found a way to fight, even though futile resistance emerged. If it is not winning, die with dignity. Many of our favorites find themselves in psychological dead ends.

Dolegala preferred the Bengals to the Eagles. He deliberated for half an hour with his parents, his brother Jarrett, his former offensive coordinator for St. Francis, John Scibetta and his personal overthrown instructor, Jim Kubiak, before making the call.

Final Notes of the NFC East: Who's on top? – Blogging boys
The Eagles entered the project with the division's most complete lineup, with their biggest challenge in 2018 being all the injuries they've suffered. Nevertheless, their most pressing needs were in defense. It is therefore surprising that Philadelphia has spent only one choice among the benchmarks on this side of the ball in a development game. That said, the offensive players they recruited are pretty good. Andre Dillard will not start right now, but he will soon replace Jason Peters and should do a great job in this area, while Miles Sanders is a dynamic running back to share clichés with Jordan Howard. JJ Arcega-Whiteside is a physically dominant pass-finder who can win almost all 50/50 balls. Clayton Thorson seems to be the first quarterback, but with Carson Wentz's injury history, I would hope for a better backup plan than this if I was an Eagles fan. The Eagles let Wentz know they were there after a busy season filled with ridiculous thoughts about whether to go from their second choice to the general. Philadelphia has strengthened its skills for Wentz while investing in its long-term security, but their lack of improvement in defense is worrisome. Category B-

Dave Gettleman continues to defend Daniel Jones' sixth-place pick – Big Blue View
"I got upset for that," said Gettleman from his office in New Jersey. "I have agonized. Before the project, we discussed it thoroughly in groups – last Friday and then Wednesday. Obviously, we had a lot of esteem for Josh Allen. But what I learned is that you do not play with a quarter. If he's your guy, you take him. If you put 32 general managers in one room and give them pentathol sodium [truth serum], all of them would tell you how cute they were in a repechage and it cost them the player they wanted. So you do not become cute there. You do not become cute with a quarterback. "

Teams like cardinals, rams and dolphins showed their hands during the weekend draft, and their selections (or tradeoffs) can give us clues as to what direction they will take this season.

GM Gettleman should stop talking – SB Nation
When the exam flocked from all angles – even George R. R. Martin went into action – the general manager continued to dig, hoping that the circumference of his problem would be small enough to break through the opposing side. He will not do it because the reasons he chose Jones over a year he could have recruited Dwayne Haskins in the first round, waited for Drew Lock in the second round or traded a second day's choice to free Josh Rosen from Arizona were tied. disastrous and absurd. Gettleman INSISED that two teams would have drafted Jones, despite evidence to the contrary.
