| 0:00.0 | All right, we're getting ready for the NFL draft. |
| 0:02.0 | What are the Eagles going to do? |
| 0:03.0 | Well, let's take a little bit of a look at the players who they have brought in for a pre-draft visit, EJ, and there have been 18 reported so far of the 30. Shout out to Anthony De Bona and Dave Zangara for tracking these all down. Yeah. Let's break them down by position and then sort of in order of how early they're supposed to go and tell me your thoughts on the Eagles bringing them in. |
| 0:22.7 | So let's start a tight end because I think that's where the sexiest guy here is, sexiest name-wise. Kenyan Sadiq, Eagles fans, I think very familiar with him now. The explosive tight end from Oregon. Young production leaves a little bit to be wanting, but there's a question of whether he's even going to be there at 23. |
| 0:38.6 | What do you make of Eagles bringing in Kenyon, Sadiq? |
| 0:40.4 | Yeah, it doesn't surprise me, especially because the Eagles pre-draft visits, it's not a 100% hit rate, but it is often predictive on the players that they end up with, you know, after draft weekend is over. and I think Kenyan Sadiq is a player that if he is there for the Eagles at 23, |
| 0:55.3 | even if he's there for the Eagles at number 20 and there is a trade-up opportunity, I think he makes a lot of sense for them. I think that they would sell it as a pass catcher more than just a tight end, you know, because he obviously doesn't play a premium position, but he can be an impact player that kind of substitutes for number |
| 1:12.2 | two or number three receivers. So I think it makes a lot of sense. I think the ability to get to know |
| 1:18.0 | him if he is someone who falls to them at 23, for that reason makes a lot of sense. I think you're right |
| 1:24.7 | in terms of saying that he is a past catcher. If the egos are going to sell this, this is someone who is adding to our passing game. It's not just a pure tied end, although Fran will tell you, Anyans that he can block in a big way. So it is interesting to see the Eagles bringing in a player who is consensus going to not be on the board at 23. And also this is a two-way street. The player has to agree to come as well. Yeah. His interest is a little bit interesting as well. Two late round tight ends, who they've also brought in. Nate Borkature from Texas A&M, who we have talked about, will be 25 years old as a rookie. I guess you want to bring him in to see if he's going to fit on the coaching staff. I like Nate Borgeshire. I think he's a good fit for what the Eagles are looking for at tight end right now, which is the combo tight end, a two-way tight end that can contribute as a run blocker, as you mentioned, and as a pass catcher. It wasn't super productive in college. And yes, late breakout in a way that the Eagles are typically wary of. But this draft class is different. Well, the last few draft classes have been different. You have older prospects because guys had the extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic. So for that reason, I think Nate Borkature is like a fun mid-round option for them because of, but that's okay. Yeah, I know. You don't like him because he's an old and I understand that. And the Eagles typically would disqualify those types of players more often than not as well. I think his skill set makes up for the fact that he's an older prospect. And then the other player Bauer Sharp from LSU spent three years at southeastern Louisiana then a year at |
| 2:52.8 | Oklahoma and then a year at LSU but will only be 23 years old as a rookie had some impressive |
| 2:57.6 | pre-draft testing results around a four six three had some good jumps a little bit of production |
| 3:03.3 | with Oklahoma a year ago had 42 had 42 catches for 324 yards, |
| 3:07.9 | a little bit less with LSU this year. |
| 3:09.8 | This is one makes sense to me. |
| 3:11.4 | It's a player who, you know, |
| 3:12.7 | you want to get under the hood on a little bit |
| 3:13.9 | to find out, you know, |
| 3:15.4 | do the testing results potentially match |
| 3:17.7 | what you can do on the field. |
| 3:18.8 | And I think it's fair to say |
| 3:20.3 | that this signals that the Eagles are |
