High School Harry Strikes!

they're not a commodity.

you mean, they are?

[Maniac]

No, I'm thinking you can get a good third tight end for less than the 36th pick in the draft.

[stjoebirdsfan]

So they are a commodity

[slag]

I understand your position, but the point I and others are making is that this guy has the credentials to make the other two become the second and third tight ends.

[RSE]

Maybe Chip doesn't like what he sees in Celek. Let's face it, Celek does have his L. J. Smith moments.

[Birdwatcher]

This one looks like

No, I'm thinking you can get a good third tight end for less than the 36th pick in the draft.

more than a 'good' TE and it is a position of high value in his system. According to Chip this kid was the best player on their board. Celek is getting older and he is building a team for the long haul, so this pick does make sense based on the new scheme.

[common wealth]

How many really good tight ends are taken after the 2nd round?

[JuTMSY4]

Maybe Chip doesn't like what he sees in Celek. Let's face it, Celek does have his L. J. Smith moments.

he is, as Maniac said, above average. Ertz seems like, among other things, a legitimate red zone threat - which is a legitimate need for this team

[BigSlizz]

He's not going to be a third tight end.

[Maniac]

I understand your position, but the point I and others are making is that this guy has the credentials to make the other two become the second and third tight ends.

Agreed. I'm no Celek fan. But doesn't make sense to me with the second pick. Another weapon on offense is not that important.

Gotta go defense there.

[Hopkins 48]

Well, we found out one thing tonight

Maniac don't know shit! I like the pick, screw what you need, pick the best player available, period. There were some people had him going mid second. As much as I like Celek, he is mediocre, period.

[Maniac]

yeah. an upgrade at tight end is what the eagles really need.

[Bardy]

Wait until they take Marquis Goodwin with the next pick - you may spontaneously combust.

[Loki]

Trust in Gamble the Younger

He helped build a winner in San Fran. Here's hoping he does the same with the Iggles.

[The Ref]

What's great about this pick is he had a horrible combine. But he's said to be a football player. Not a workout warrior.

Like it. Never was a fan of Celek.
