Totally agree on Marshall. Evans is PS only. Theyll only carry 2 quarterbacks.
Marshall deserves a spot more than pumphrey, Smallwood, and Clemons.
I'd cut Smallwood for sure. He's 4 out of 4 in that list
Clement not Clemons, and Clement should make is over all of them, he has been the only RB making progress in games and practice. I would send Smallwood or Pumphrey packing.
They all stink. Howie didn't know how to move up a few spots to take Dalvin Cook so now they will have to try and figure out how to draft one next year with no second or third round pick (yet). If Howie doesn't have a pick in the Top 15 of the draft, the odds are he's going draft another DJ Chumphrey or Wendell Nogood.
If they didn't want the woman beater, it most likely would have cost them the fourth-rounder they burned on Bumphrey. Once again, Howie didn't plan ahead and got caught with his pants down. It's really not that hard to do, especially after the Marcus Smith fiasco.
Most 'prognosticators' had him as a first-round talent. Shit, people had him going to the Eagles at the 14th pick. I also remember people on here practically guaranteeing he would be gone by the time they picked in the first. He drops to the second and Howie decides to stay put. When you have an opportunity to move up a few spots to secure a glaring need, you have to do it. Let's not forget this is the same moron who said he took Smith because his 'Top 6 or so' players were no longer on the board.
Not to hijack this thread or go off on another tangent but I think most fans have lost faith in this team. I get the 'super fans' think Howie had a great offseason. I think many see this as another 'Dream Team' because they still don't know how to draft.
I did a little scrutinized of the draft last night. If Sidney Jones is the guy they say he is, then I'm fine with him over trading up for Cook.
So what where the options for a RB after the 2nd round? It's hard to disagree with grabbing Hollins with the first 4th round pick. . The key is the 3rd round selection: Rasul Douglas. Instead of Douglas, the Eagles could have selected Tarik Cohen or Perine with that pick.
Douglas vs. Perine or Cohen is a fair evaluation. I would have taken one of the RBs.
Maybe the Eagles believe getting a RB they like in next years draft is a better option. They could fall back in the first and pick up and extra 2nd or 3rd roundpick.
