Still I like the Eagles chances again now that we have Barkley at RB along with a better DC imo. Satisfied withbthe free agency moves we made so far this off season and just waiting for the draft to add more depth. If healthy, Philly are ripe to reap the crown from the Chiefs.
Dark horse teams for the crown are the Lions, Chargers and the Steelers.
The Eagles should be the favorites to win the NFC East. Keep an eye on the Commodes though, I have a feeling they are going to make some noise. If they draft the right QB there’s an outside chance they win the division.
I’m not expecting anything out of the Cowboys this year. I’m thinking MAYBE 9 wins.
Any idea on who the Eagles are looking at with their first 3 picks?
Hopefully we pick up a stud CB with out first pick since both Slay and Bradberry over 30, need some solid young blood now. Wish we had Joey Porter Jr. from last season. Arnold 40 time is nothing to brag about but Bama knows how to develop CB at the highest level and would be my top choice. Vic Fangio knows the importance on secondary coverage.

Then pick up an IOL and S/edge base on top tier availability. Give me Arnold and I will be one happy camper.

Most mock drafts I’ve seen have Arnold going between pick 12 and pick 18. I’m not sure that he makes it to pick 22. Even if he doesn’t though there are some really good CB’s that will be available at 22. Nate Wiggins, Cooper DeJean, and Kool-Aid McKinstry are all CB’s with good size that would good picks at 22 if Arnold is no longer on the board.

Here’s a funny little video of Jeremiah Trotter Sr being asked what he would do if his son is drafted by Dallas or NY.

More evidence on how bad the culture is in Dallas. Pre Jerry it was almost every kids dream to play for the Cowboys, now they don't even want to come here.

Trotter was an eagle. Of course he won’t wear cowboys stuff.

Its not about him. Its up to his kid. His feelings shouldn't matter.

You should read the tweet and watch the video because you clearly don't know what's going on.

I watched it. Sounds like Daddy's relationship with the EGAL fan base was most important to him and how it would effect him. That's what I got out of it.

Trotter Sr was a longtime member of the Eagles so it’s easy to understand his hatred of the Cowboys. Trotter Jr grew up in that home idolizing his dad. With that said Trotter Jr has said that he would love to be drafted by Dallas. Sr is the only one of the two that has hatred for Dallas.

Why? Because I don't agree with you on this one and was brought up in a environment that allows me to have a different view.

No because you're ranting and raving about something nobody said
Dude said he wouldn't wear a Cowboys jersey if his son got drafted by them and somehow you thought that meant his son said he didn't want to play for the Cowboys
That's literally it, there's no "different view" to have. Look, I get you're embarrassed because you reacted before seeing the video, but I was brought up in an environment where saying "oops, my bad, let me adjust my view when presented with new evidence" is perfectly fine and not a personal failure.

Re: Draft thread
My point is he should get drafted by whom ever he wants regardless of what his daddy thinks. Just because Daddy is a Catholic and forced his kid to be a catholic doesn't mean he has to remain a catholic the rest of his life. Its called freedom of religion. Same thing applies here. Just because daddy is a hater doesn't mean he has to follow suit. Seems to be a lot of hate going around these days. Wonder where it comes from.

Re: Draft thread
This is the dumbest argument
Sr: "Well, if he gets drafted by the Cowboys, that's where he goes. I just won't wear a Cowboys jersey"
bjj: "WHY TROTTER JR NO WANT PLAY COWBOYS!!!! HIS FATHER SHOULDN'T CONTROL WHERE HE GOES!!11ONE1!"
Like, it's just so dumb that this dude is making such a fuss about this.
