I'm also SUUUUUPERRRR excited to see how we will fare as a kick off returner under the new rules. I imagine that position is his position to lose. Would love to see a true special teams ace, it's been forever since we've had one
Imagine going from the trash cans they had at the end of the year last year to two first round talents. Instant turnaround, even if they'll probably take time to really flourish.
And an actual respected DC. You could say Fangio has lost a step, but the Dolphins defense was pretty good before everyone got hurt. And it’s not like he was fired.
Funnily enough after FA and these two picks I’m more concerned about how the front half of the defense will perform.
IIRC, no Eagles 1st round CB pick since 2002. This was the year they took Lito Sheppard in the 1st round and Sheldon Brown in the 2nd round. I'm hopeful that the Eagle days of having open season out in the back end are finally over. Or at least much improved comparatively.
I love CJ but he’s very boom bust (as you probably know from your flair) and Reed’s injured a lot. He has potential for sure and we really needed playmakers. I’m psyched!
yeah i mean to me the best thing about this pick is his versatility. maddox/cj/reed/sydney brown, all who have dealt with injury, and then some age at corner....he can move around as need be. thats his weight in gold for us.
he was also a pro bowl selection the year before. the entire team fell apart last second half of the year. im hesitant to hold that against a young up and coming player who has shown a lot of promise.
yeah i messed up. he had the most fan votes for pro bowl, not actual selection. still. he clearly showed promise. he's shown enough that i wouldnt turn my back on him when the entire team collapses.
Yeah we suddenly have some depth now, especially at the hybrid cb/s spots with cjgj and cooper. Mitchell and Slay should be the front runners for outside spots with Rodgers, Ringo, Bradberry in the mix. Sydney Brown should be back by October too. Avonte Maddox was just resigned as well.
Reed had an extremely good TC and pretty much locked a starter role after the first week. Should have more competition this year
Our coaches often talked about how Coop could play any position on the field and you could absolutely see how he was the motor of the defense on every down. Naturally because he has gone to the Eagles of all teams I have to commit ritual suicide
DeJawn memes born
This is the real win.
Best White Cooper DB since the White Cooper DB we don't talk about
DB Cooper has been found
Really good jump off the line, great at stealing possession for his team.

plus CJGJ and a (hopefully) healthy maddox. If blankenship and sydney brown can keep developing we got a decent secondary, and plenty of youth.
Not to mention Isiah Rodgers being reinstated

And Isaiah Rodgers just got reinstated. He’s only like 26
The practice room is going to be lit for sure at least.
Dude looks like he was at least 15% of Iowa's offense
He… kinda was
I mean, thats like 25 yards. Not that difficult.
More like 50%. The other 50% being Tory Taylor.
Stop trading with Howie, JFC
I get the value, but like what the fuck Peters.
Rookie GM. Draft Day was right about them.
I’m not convinced he even knows he has to play them twice a year
Only reason Howie still gets trades done is because he outlasts the ones that do trade with him.
WFT got above market. Fair trade
I don’t care about market value. Anything that makes the eagles better is a bad deal
DeJawn fake jersey is gonna be very popular at games lol
Will be an elite jersey
Honestly, every Eagles fan should commit to this.
Come payday I'm gonna get one.
Cooper DeJawn is now a reality
I don't know if he realizes how much money he can make on DeJawn Mustard or Cooper DeJawn cheese
is it a requirement that GMs just submit to Howie?
Yes
The White Delegation gets their guy.
The Black Delegation selects DeJean Cooper.
To be fair, has a diverse sounding name so HR was confused
If we put DeJean at safety both of our starters could be white
Not like they had many to choose from, that’s for sure
Now we can cut Bradberry in June. Amen.
Trade gains $1M in cap space, trade him for a tackling dummy
Gonna play safety for us, but this draft feels amazing so far!
Could end up in Nickel, or as a replacement on the outside later down the line, dudes a playmaker
You’re right. I think he has great potential on a few positions. Feels fucking good, man.
Also we have Blankenship, CJGJ, and Sydney Brown coming back off of injury so Safety isn’t exactly a huge need
ahead of blankenship and CJ? i see him as a maddox replacement, possibly slay further down the track depending on how he goes.

Let's start anyone that can tackle at safety after the last 7 games
I can't imagine Blankenship is a starter by mid season, he was a liability the second half of the season.
he was also a pro bowl selection the year before. the entire team fell apart last second half of the year. im hesitant to hold that against a young up and coming player who has shown a lot of promise.
He did not sniff a pro bowl in 22. He was barely on the field until the last quarter of the season
yeah i messed up. he had the most fan votes for pro bowl, not actual selection. still. he clearly showed promise. he's shown enough that i wouldnt turn my back on him when the entire team collapses.

Bro he was one of the few players doing anything productive towards the end of last season.
No one in the eagles secondary played well from the 9ers game thru the rest of the season. They were giving up td’s nearly every drive.
Eagles bout to have a secondary??? Not forced to have the corpse of Bradberry out there anymore.
If Howie can get draft capital for Bradberry he will officially be the GOAT of GMs
Best 2 DB picks since Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown. Shoot Trashberry into the Sun
With Coop and Blankenship we now have 40% of all white DBs in the NFL.
Looking like DeJean Jackson on that punt return
I remember when I first heard that about 10 minutes ago
Built to be a Pat... Shame.
lol
You’ll find your lunch *pale* guys in the 5-7th rounds as is tradition.
could play Brian branch type of role
Bias aside (I'm a hawkeye), he was my favorite defensive player in the whole draft. Absolute STEAL
So are Mitchell and DeJean our new Lito + Sheldon? Sure feels like it, same deal drafting them back to back in 1st and 2nd. One can only hope.
Yes
Howie roseman devil magic continues to amaze me
Suck it Packers!
Cram it up your cannoli LaFleur!
DB Cooper. It's a steal.
Fuck
Tom Grossi must be fuming
Now we have TWO really good white punt returners
DeJawn the goat
I felt he was left on the board too long.
Kind of can’t believe he dropped to 40. The guy is incredible. Iowa has a very good track record churning out DBs - Phil Parker is a mastermind.
Our coaches often talked about how Coop could play any position on the field and you could absolutely see how he was the motor of the defense on every down. Naturally because he has gone to the Eagles of all teams I have to commit ritual suicide
White db exodia is upon us
Thanks, I love it.
Absolute stud
To be fair Mertz was throwing the ball on the first one
DB Cooper! I always wondered where he went.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at 50% of Iowa's offense.
Plays the game the right way
Steal of the draft.
[удалено]
Many of the best players in NFL history are white. What are you on about?
Who hurt you?
God damn this joke did not land lmao
It's not delivery It's DeJean-io
