Good trade.  Given our depth situation, the guys we would draft with those picks would likely not make the cut.  Need an experienced OL before more young rookies.

So he’s mainly a G than a T interesting.

Given the Eagles atrocious OL last year, not sure this moves my needle...

Looks like Eagles fan are delighted to get rid of him. Not a good sign.

G was were he was needed last year

Pryor is going to cause Wentz to have bad flashbacks.  That Philly line was horrible last year.

Oh boy, that's exactly how the Chargers fans felt about Tevi.

Remember fans, offensive lineman are affected by who they play next to. Did the Colts scout him with a grade they liked last year? There must be something here. We now know why the OL releases happened. Let's give this guy some support.

Eagles traded him rather than cut him.  Of course, they’re keeping LeRaven Clark…

AND we swapped a 6th for a 7th, so, this isn't a big deal. 

If he doesn't work out, he doesn't work out.

There must be some value there or we wouldn't have bothered.

Sometimes a player stinks no matter where he goes cough Tevi.

It's OK to be realistic though....

All the reviews suggest he's more G than T, and his history is more on the R than L.

LT is dice roll.

Dang Ballard got a pick back and a Tackle not bad.

[DaColts85]

He was not good in Philly and was likely getting cut. Why trade for this guy?

Not really giving up much there but it doesn't sound like we've gained much there.

No guarantees in waivers

[GoColts8818]

Well he’s a body.  Judging by what the Colts gave up for him I don’t think they expect him to be more than that.  

[Four2itus]

Bulletin! Some players take a bit of time to develop. That's why they fall in the draft. If the only players that were kept were successes in their first year, the NFL would be a weak league. 

 

Have no idea if the kid is going to develop, but I trust they see something.

I don't think I've ever seen a RAS this bad lol....

That's Sam Tevi level bad. We didn't give up much but he's not good.

He's still young. Read he had a weight management problem. 

Perhaps a good training regiment (nutrition and conditioning) and he'll develop. 

But short term, not very excited. Doesn't take much to be better than Tevi though.

Holden had less snaps last year, but scored better (PFF).

Ballard got fleeced so bad in this trade . This guy is Sam tevi 2.0.  I watched a lot of eagles games last year he was worse than Clark that is why the eagles got rid of him and kept clark .  Ballard is good at finding good players on the later rounds and now we have 4 draft picks next year .
