Hello, everybody, and welcome.

The P.H.M.I. Eagles podcast on a beautiful Monday from the Xfinity studio, Bo Wolf and E.J. Smith, and we are presented by Ashley and Bet365.

E.J., the draft is over. Now, we've just got nothing. Oh, that's not true. We got a lot to talk about. We have a lot to get to in today's show. I am excited for it. I feel refreshed. You know, I got a Sunday. I walk the dogs. I think twice in that time, which is important. You know, you got to stay active. Got to make sure you're drinking your water. I'm ready for today's show. I'm excited to talk about some of these topics.

Looking forward to it.

We've got a lot coming this week. We'll do a shadow draft. Some guests. We're going to talk about everybody's favorite UR. Bernard tomorrow. Tomorrow we're going to dive deep into the undrafted class. So stay tuned for that. We'll go through all of those guys. tell you what you need to know.

But today, some big picture takeaways

from Howie Roseman and Nick Siriani's press conference, just the things that they did over the course of the weekend. We're also going to talk to Alec Lewis from The Athletic to give us his perspective, the Vikings perspective on Jonathan Grenard. The great friend Duffy will join us. We'll look back on the draft games and whatever else we've got going on. How are you? I'm doing great. I see a question in the chat from NEPA there. Did I have time to mow my lawn? Of course I had time to mow my lawn. Let's get real here. The second the sun came out, I was on that mower, taking care of the grass. because my grass is growing at an alarming rate right now

um i got my mower deck all the way up but had a good time i think the biggest news of the day

uh i mean lindsay just rocking this kick-ass leather jacket yeah i mean what a badass i know

i mean lizzie's a badass every day i know now she now she looks how she generally comes across. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, brass knuckles in her pocket. This is very impressive to see. Crack some skulls. All right. Let's start with the post draft presser. Yeah. From Howie and Nick. Obviously a long day on Saturday.

Hope you were there for all seven hours of coverage.

What were your big takeaways from those two guys?

You know, I hate to start with the seventh round pick, but...

That was your number one takeaway?

It actually was.

Wow.

Okay.

There was a lofty comparison in there for one Cole Wisniewski. So honestly, that was my biggest takeaway. Howie Rosen talking. He was very quick to say that Cole Wisniewski reminds him of Reed Blankenship. And I listen, it's a late round safety addition. There is some parallels there. I mean, the way that they both look, I would say, is maybe another reason. Yes, the pigment. Thank you. I was trying to figure out the right way to phrase that one. But yeah, he mentioned read Blankenship very quickly when talking about Cole Wuzniewski. In a way that surprised me. I mean, Cole Wazuski is like, if he could be half of what Reed Blankenship is, that's a great seventh round pick. Howie Rosen said there's some reminders of a guy. I'm not going there. There's some reminders of a guy that we won a Super Bowl with. Those are tough shoes to fill. But when you watch him, you saw some of the things you liked on Reed. That would be an unbelievable outcome, an unbelievable career that Reed had. Missed that guy for sure, but those are some of the things that we saw. I mean, the Eagles have a safety spot in the starting lineup up for grabs. I think Cole Wazuski is going to compete for that job. I would not go that far. I would. I love Colesniewski. That's my guy. Yeah. The draft at safety. I think putting, competing for a starting job. I mean, he will start, he will start training camp. He read Blankenship didn't do that. Yeah, he will start in training camp on the third team. Like all the rookies do, but they are clearly bullish on him based off of what how. I thought that was a lofty comparison and how he, I guess how he can sometimes throw out those lofty comparisons.

Yeah,

but still,

jump out to me.

Yeah,
