I think we are at: 83. Seattle 84. Miami 85. Chargers if the other two gents pick before i sign off tonight then i will get the chargers pick in so you guys aren't waiting on me tomorow since i tend to get on a bit after we kick off w the kiddos and their bedtimes

Hey. Sure I don’t mind at all. Just wasn’t tracking when they’re coming up. I’ll take a look so I don’t leave us hanging. I have awhile to the next Washington pick

pick up above

With the 47th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders select.... Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama They need their next pass-catching electric McKissic replacement to pair w Gibson and Robinson. Especially w Gibson likely gone after this year. Plus they will need to run a lot w their QB options lol

all is well. and I had to run out to fill the car for the mrs after bedtime so luckily I am back

I am here!!! got here late but luckily I wasn't up yet lol....catching up now

Thanks everyone. if for some reason we have some of the owners that missed picks that do not think they will be able to be a part of this moving forward or if they are just not responsive, let me know and i will gladly pick up another team in addition to Washington

Ok with the 1.16 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders select.... Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois He is probably my 1st rated CB or at least 1B to Gonzalez as 1A and the Commanders badly need help at cornerback. Fit for both player and value in my opinion.

you are good to go except Broderick went to the Packers after we skipped the patriots.

I am just waiting for the thumbs up since i know we skipped over the Pats and Jones just went to the Packers. I will pick for the Commanders when you guys give me the thumbs up

i just saw levis and van ness input and see the cursor over the JSN pick now. so it is updating now.

can any one of us go in and update the pick tracker and marking off the players on the rankings tab? if so i will help a bit. but if not im cool just sitting and coloring until my pick in a few mins lol

Van Ness is also good by me. if the group likes that direction

im good w branch in that he is one of the few blue chip guys and someone that has been compared utilization wise to minkah. which is high praise. but if not, the eagles always draft in the trenches so id give them the best DL or OL available

agreed. I wouldn't let it go beyond say 5 picks past a pick we skipped before we do consensus so it doesn't throw our mock and player availability off . just my two cents

totally remember it. but that was one pick they got jumped. compared to these guys here possibly getting jumped 10+ lol but hey that's on them

oh I totally understand that. I'm just saying if those folks don't weigh in until we are 20 picks deep then we end up the Vegas having the 25th best player at pick 7 which throws the validity of our mock off slightly lol but hey I'm not gonna complain if better players fall in my lap as people don't show up :-D

genuine question here as the newbie to the group.....is it wise for us to wait till the end of the day for someone to give a pick if (for example) pick 7 and 10 are missing and by the time they pick we could e in the 20s or 30s? obviously those top 10 picks would look wonky when looking back if so.

Just got them down. Should be good to go

i will be eager to take part i do put my kiddos to bed around 7:30-7:45 range so if i look like ill be coming up in that timeframe then i will send you and the commishes a short list so i dont hold things up

Additionally on the SF front, I understand this take but if it is true. I would 100% be up for calling SF to gauge cost to acquire Trey Lance. I like him as much as any QB in this draft and I know the Colts had the "blue card" label on him prior to the draft a couple years back.

Have fun SF lol

Those will be some prime spots. too bad Denver already owns ours lol we traded that pick last year In the Nick Cross draft trade so Denver has back to back picks at pick 4&5 of round three. so our 3rd is from Washington in the Wentz trade at pick 79 (16th pick of the 3rd)

In my humble opinion this is the Eagles FO playing chess while others play checkers lol Tunsil just re-signed for a 3 year $75M deal where his last year is in 2026 at just under $29M The Eagles just basically slapped a $33.4M extra year on his contract for 2026. That basically makes him locked in to a 4 year deal at $102.5M since he has cap hits of $24.2M, $22.0M and $22.9M the next 3 years. So it rewards him for how amazing he has been and it also makes his APY over the next 4 years right at the top of the market. But also the reality is that if top OTs are going to make $25M in 2023 then by the time we get to 2026, top OTs will almost certainly be not only in the $30M range but probably beyond that. They are looking and getting ahead now. Not a bad idea.

All valid points and i will be the first to say that my desire to not move on from Ballard is directly linked to he (and his staff's) ability to be good when it comes to the Draft. Because obviously free agency has not been great. There have not been many swings and misses where we gave out big money and missed out, but there haven't been many big swings at all, which is obviously a collective criticism we all make of him. That being said, in the Howie Roseman example given earlier and, in the team-building philosophy ballpark, Roseman and Ballard have a very, very similar approach. Roseman has been the Eagles GM since 2010, with the exception of the one Chip Kelly year (2015). His 1st rounders since then? 2022 — Jordan Davis (DL) 2021 — DeVonta Smith (WR) 2020 — Jalen Reagor (WR) 2019 — Andre Dillard (OL) 2018 — No first-round pick 2017 — Derek Barnett (DL) 2016 — Carson Wentz (QB) 2015 — Chip Kelly’s draft (Nelson Agholor) 2014 — Marcus Smith (DL) 2013 — Lane Johnson (OL) 2012 — Fletcher Cox (DL) 2011 — Danny Watkins (OL) 2010 — Brandon Graham (DL) So Howie has made 11 1st round picks in his tenure and of those, 8 of them have been in the trenches. That is a lot. And the only outliers are QB once and then WR twice. We can argue if the Wentz pick was good or bad. It is clear one of the WR picks was bad and the other looks good at least so far. But my only point here is that the Ballard philosophy of at least building through the trenches is shared by Roseman (and others), and i was mainly trying to compare to Roseman. Now, I will also happily join the "fire Ballard" camp if the drafting prowess tails off and we have more drafts like the 2017 and 2019 drafts that don't pan out well. Mainly because beyond solid drafts, he has not brought a ton of value to the table. But I also recognize that really the thing holding him back is the QB position. I am excited to see us get someone to stabilize the spot for say 3 years and see what happens then. Even if the guys isn't a total superstar. Even a top-15 to top-10 type of guy would let us see how things look when that critical spot is solved or resolved. Because so far, the only major thing that i personally have seen in terms of Ballard's evals that I truly disagree with is that he de-emphasizes the importance of WR seemingly and that he also feels like he can't get behind some of the shifty smaller guys (which i do think we would benefit from in many cases). That is what makes this draft so exciting and fascinating for me as a fan.
