Who you got?

I'm kinda hoping we can land Mason Foster. On the cheap. And draft the 2nd ILB spot. Maybe someone like Perryman, or a late unknown "TT special".

Trade back in the early 2nd and Kendericks or McKinney maybe? I actually get the vibe this year will be like the 2012 draft with Ted Thompson putting a lot of stock in the 2nd round.

Edit: Or like 2008 with the 3 2nd round picks

Most Mocks had us picking Lacy in the first round instead of second in 2013. Nobody gave us a shot at Bulaga, and Sherrod was gone I am pretty sure in most Mocks as well.

We subtracted two, and I assume Lattimore is hanging by a thread too, and Bradford is still around somewhere, so that means it takes two newcomers to stay the same quantity-wise, and maybe as many as four if we were to get rid of Lattimore and Bradford. I haven't really done any independent research on draft prospects, but there have been half a dozen or so mentioned, any of which I could see as a 2nd round pick (I still want Melvin Gordon in the First). I'd also like to see the Packers pick up a mid-range Free Agent - Bruce Carter of the Cowboys the one I'm the most familiar with. I see continued use of Clay Matthews inside more than half of the time - he seemed to me to contribute more there than on the outside. If Barrington is the second best ILB, he's decent. Those two current players plus the 2nd round pick and hopefully quality FA, and we have a nice rotation. Beyond that, either Lattimore/Bradford or whatever low round or street FAs we can get to upgrade from them.

I look at ILB and OLB as two sides of the same coin. One reason I want Matthews used a lot at ILB is that I really want to see Jayrone Elliot used a LOT more at OLB.

I hope our starting LBs are on already on the squad and take the next jump. I really want to see what Joe Thomas can do. I'm sure we'll draft or pick up a guy or two that can play inside as an udrfa. I'm not too concerned about them picking one up in the first round of the draft though. I think there will be value later.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
