Hello everybody and welcome.

P.H.O.I. Eagles podcast on a beautiful Friday afternoon. We are headed into the weekend

six days away from the NFL draft. We're live from the Xfinity studio and we're presented

by Ashley and Bet365. And today is wide receiver day.

We're not talking about A.J. Brown. No, no, no. We are talking about the wide receivers in the draft.

Will the Eagles make a pick on somebody in the first three rounds or so? We'll talk about that.

Well, of course, bring in the buckets. We also have to

tell you that you can join us as we experience everything that happens on night one of the NFL

draft next Thursday night at the Chickas and Pete's in Marlton, New Jersey. It's going to be a lot

of fun. Me, E.J., Fran, Brandon Lee Gowden, all going to be there, breaking it down, reacting to what the

Eagles do. Very excited for that. And if you just, if you just need another fix of like what the

draft could look like, check out Fran's brand spanking new seven round mock draft on all phly.com.

If you're a diehard and if you are not a diehard, now is a good chance to become one because

we've got a special playoff sale going on, $32 for the whole year, which is cheaper than the price of a t-shirt. And you get a t-shirt with becoming a diehard. So basically, you're stealing money out of our pockets, which I don't appreciate, but it is good for you to do that.

It's good. It's community building, you know, you get to support our work. I think it's not

stealing money out of our pocket, you know. All right, E. Jay. How'd you feel going through

these wide receivers? Felt good. I enjoyed it. Wide receiver is a tough one sometimes because

I feel like there is a higher variance sometimes with the guys you get in the first couple of rounds. Like you do, especially as a person who's covered the Eagles for as long as I have now, there are some scars. You know, the thing that Howard Rosen was talking about, where he thinks about, you know, the missed first round picks every day. You watch some of these guys and you do have Jalen Rager or J.J. Arthago-Whiteside in the back of your mind.

So it can be a little bit of a minefield, but it's a fun position to watch. And I mean, people, our listeners will know, I get romantic about a couple of these prospects. Oh, my God, the ceiling. I just buy it on some of these guys. So I'm excited to talk through it. If you want to sell traits, this is a time when you can try to do that.

Yeah, but you've got to be careful selling traits at receiver because there's excited to talk through it. If you want to sell traits, this is a time when you can try to do that.

Yeah, but you got to be careful selling traits at receiver because there's more that goes

into it than that.
