It's a solid draft class, even with a 1st rounder flushed down the toilet. Turning a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th rounder into at least average starters is nice... we just needed more draft classes like this one in between 2016-2019.

Wonnum and Lynch do little for me - Wonnum notched 5 sacks in the 2 games against the Bears and was a complete non-factor even when Hunter and Griffen were healthy. Remember Ifeadi Odenigbo, who picked up 7 sacks and is now a journeyman just 2 years later? Lynch was a subpar player in a new role, so while he could take a step forward next year, my expectations for him were a lot higher than this.

Off the top of my head 19 prob had some contributors and Irv... Mattison, Watts, Udoh, Boyd🙄.. kinda on Boyd,but I guess if I get 3 years on special teams out of a 7th rounder... Oh and the legendary Dru Samia.

Dalvin and O'Neil pretty much all we got still from the other years that helped this year... And I guess Mac Alexander... And Conklin, who really all things considered played pretty good ...

I really wonder though if we nit picked the Buccs or Rams drafts over the same 2016-2020 if they had as many misses... And yeah I'm unfairly dismissing 2015.

There have been worse draft classes, but outside of getting the best WR in the draft class by trading away one of the best WRs in the NFL, it was nothing special.

Draft classes aside Ricky selected Laquon Treadwell in 2016 and there was nothing special about that. He selected one of the worst WRs with a 1st round pick.

Justin Jefferson is special!

Treadwell was never the same after the college injury but he was so good in college before that.

Facts are so annoying.

And the notion that Wonnum, who is among the worst DEs in football at Pressure Rate and Run Stops, is good because he can convert sacks when unblocked is laughable. If you can't convert wide open looks you shouldn't be playing in the League.

Mooney is a damn good player for the Bears unfortunately... with little QB help non the less.

I'd take KJ over the rest. But to go from nothing to KJ year 2 was quite a leap. Haven't had a legit WR3 in a while.

What a great WR draft. Even more of an indictment on the Eagles front office and scouting considering there was a handful of Day 3 guys better than Reagor.

Even they found a better player in the 6th round in Quez Watkins, who despite playing fewer snaps than Reagor, was way more productive. *flush*

Wow, I remembered them all pretty much being unblocked, but I don't like to just go off of my memory on stuff like that, so thanks for posting.

If he is our starting DE next year, it is a bad, bad sign.

I remember Wonnum getting to the QBs and putting them on the ground. How he did it doesn't really matter does it? Did PFF make up another pointless sack stat category when we weren't looking?

Why is it a bad sign if Wonnum is starting in 2022?

Because it would mean we are starting one of the worst players in football at one of the most important positions in football.

KJ is fine, but DPJ, a guy I was screaming for us to draft and Davis are much better WRs at this point.

This draft don't look so bad right now compared to how it did maybe before the season. We definitely got some quality serviceable players and a possible Hall of famer and true generational talent. I got to say I'm satisfied with this draft.

Jefferson - Savage animal

Cleveland - decent starter

Dantzler - Serviceable, jury still out

Wonnum -Who woulda guessed he'd have the most sacks in a draft class that had Chase Young in it. Solid DE3 with upside and still developing. Needs to improve vs run.

Osborn - Steal of the draft? Dude is rock solid

Lynch - quality role player, improving.

Willekes - shown flashes

Metellus - quality special teamer

It's Jefferson and the rest are still suspect. KJ Osborn is wr3 at best, I don't think that's a big deal.

How long has it been since we had a solid WR3? Let alone based on his growth curve from year 1 to 2 development to WR2 is not out of the question. Not every 5th rounder is gonna be Diggs.

I'm very happy with that pick...

Yeah. He was money on 3rd down. Never did anything after he left us. Not a great career move for him.

Amazing what can happen when you actually get a chance to play in a real game. Another huge plus from a Zimmerless team. For every Dru Samia there is a KJ Osborn. Dont forgot this is the same staff that trotted out Bisi Johnson over Jefferson for 2 games last year. So glad its over
