The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions.

Eagles fans everywhere. This is for you.

Let the celebration begin.

Well, Rube, the 2021 draft in the books, all done. Eagles make nine picks.

What do you think?

I think you asked me in two years you know it's

it's always tempting to grade drafts and evaluate them. I want to grade

and fail what they do? The reality is we don't know. I think what I like is that they were true to their board and so now it comes down to evaluations that whether their evaluations were correct. You know if you're not true to your board you know you're

reaching for people if you if you draft for need and you know there's always an

element of drafting for need you know you're basically drafting best available at a position of need. But my initial impression is I I don't see any I mean you know Dickerson at 37 scares me because of the injuries but you know obviously he's

potentially a all pro type of player so it's a huge risk reward but there's no single pick that kind of makes me say what the hell were they thinking there there wasn't that I know a lot's going to be made about not taking a

corner back at least not one until today. But the reality and we'll get into this a

little more detail is that value and where they were picking just didn't

they just didn't meet they just didn't match up and the right thing to do there is exactly what they did and and stay true to the board and you know I think the reality is that Horn and Surtan might be the only two guys that are starting from from day one anyway. So if you're I mean maybe maybe maybe, maybe, you know, maybe the Northwestern kid will,

you know, Newsom maybe, you know, Farley. Well, we don't know, but I think once they

didn't have a shot at at those two, you know, I'm not sure how much help they would have gotten immediately anyway.

They still have an issue of a cornerback, but I understand why they didn't, you know, reach to take one.

So overall, I think they it seems like they did a good job it seems like

scouting and coaching in front office were all on the same page which is different and and it seemed different.

People could be pulling our legs, people could be full of it, people could be lying,

but I didn't sense that and I, after talking to Andy Wiedel and how he Roseman and

Nick Seriani I got the feeling they were all pulling in the same direction.
