I remember saying when we drafted McPhee I didn't get it because he looked like a 4-3 DE. To some degree I was right because it did take him a while to put it all together and he was moved around quite a bit, but in the end he was a great pick, especially in the 5th round. Bosa is a far more athletic and refined McPhee. I still have yet to hear a good reason why he can't play OLB for us.

Matt Flynn played about 2 games and has shown his true colors since then. McCown might be a better example, but he still played decently with other teams since then. When Foles had his "breakout" season, it was well documented the amount of turnover luck and bailouts from his WRs that were needed to make him look as good as he did. He was also in an offense tailored to make easy decisions to open receivers.

He definitely has good weapons and a good OL with the upgrades you made, but it is absolutely false that if you put enough talent around a player they will succeed. QB is the most important position on the offense, and all you have to do is look at how terrible that same offense was with Manning at the helm. Is Foles better than Manning was in 2015? I think that is debatable.

Maybe because they are old, or because 6 stars is actually reasonable compensation for an OG?

A gutted eagles team? He had one good (lucky) season and they still had one of the best OL's in football and decent weapons. He's shown his true colors since then.

Well, I still have Tom Brady, Gronk, and Edelman

NFL players aren't bodybuilders. They don't put on weight just for the sake of putting on weight because it will slow them down. Smith is 1 inch taller, he could probably put on 10 pounds, but he's not going to put on 20 and still be the same type of player. Jack's legs and midsection are both considerably thicker, which as I am sure you are aware is where the majority of muscle weight is carried in athletes.

These guys aren't body builders though where the point is to just get big. It's a lot of lean/fast-twitch muscle. You're right that he couldn't put on weight having to rehab, but he might not be able to put on a lot of weight if he wanted to anyways. He's just not thick. Like I said, just look at pictures of Jack and Smith. They have two different body types.

January 1 I believe. He's not going to lose 10+ pounds of lower body muscle in less than 2 months. Jack is bigger all around than Smith, just look at their legs, arms etc. Jack's a lot denser. When Jack is drafted top 5-10 you will see how much that is valued.

Doctson's numbers are extremely impressive, but it is important to note he only weighs 202 lbs, which is slight for a 6'2" player. I still think he's WR3 in this class and I doubt he falls to the 2nd round unfortunately.

Henry is definitely well below average in the 3C and short shuttle. It's honestly what keeps him from being a top 10 pick, because if you have a player his size with his speed and explosiveness also having elite agility we are talking about Bo Jackson. His agility numbers aren't terrible for a player his size, but for the RB position it's a concern. He's a linear athlete, kinda like a rich man's tevin coleman.

10yd split is definitely the most informative piece of info from the 40, but for WR I think the overall number matters too. It is a position where you have open field in front of you at times. Guys that can pull away are the difference between a TD or not. A 9 route is also in some cases just a foot race depending on the coverage.

The nerve damage is more concerning, but it's not like he got hurt months ago and hasn't been able to work out. Weighing in 227 means his playing weight is in the low 230s. People talking about him weighing in at 245+ seem unlikely even if he wasn't hurt. His frame is lean.

Yes, Jack does everything you need a WILB to do.

I think Doctson is one of the better WRs at going up and getting the ball.
