Hello everybody and welcome.

The H.O.I. Engels podcast on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon. We are nine days away from the NFL draft. We are live from the Xfinity Studio. And we are presented by Ashley and Bet365.

We're winning is everything. And on today's show, boy, is that true. E.J., how are you? I'm doing great. Fresh off the Jefferson Health Complex. It's a newsy day. Wow. What? I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. It's hot outside the day, though. It's hot. Yeah, it is, it is hot. It has not quite crossed over to like uncomfortable to be outside hot. Oh, it's not uncomfortable, but you know, I'm not used to this. I need to work my way up. So, you know, I got we got to tough it up in this in this weather. Jam packed. Not complaining for the record. Jam packed show today. We're going to talk about the quarterbacks in our position preview. And I have been thinking about the fact that the Eagles, you know, we've talked about all the quarterbacks and quarterback whispers they have imported here. And like, okay, maybe it's a lot of help for Jalen Hertz. But it would also, it would kind of feel like a waste if you've got all these guys and there's no quarterback for them to develop in some sense.

And so I think there's a real chance he gets out a guy on day three. Yeah, I like that you're talking as if Tanner McKee is like a finished product. Like this guy. He's probably ever his rookie deal. Yeah, okay. That's fair. I just am like, I'm sure he will develop too. Well, yeah, but he's probably not going to come back. Yeah, that's fair.

And so I think there's a real chance,

Eagles at a young player.

I agree.

He will join us for that conversation. Well, yeah, but he's probably not going to come back. Yeah, that's right. And so I think there's a real chance,

Eagles at a young player.

Frank Duffy will join us for that conversation.

But first part of the show today, we got to talk to Howie Roseman and Nick

Siriani today.

And usually, this is the single press conference of the year when you can probably expect the least amount of truth.

Yeah.

Because it's a week ahead of the draft and any kind of questions about the draft specifically,

it's going to be obfuscation, if not outright lying.

But I should think I thought the report is a good job today,

asking questions that were not super related to this draft in particular, more theoretical, more about stuff on the roster. And I also thought, Howie Roseman? Yeah. He was in a great, he was, he was glowing. He was in a great mood today. Yeah, and it wasn't the weather because he didn't know it was warm outside. Yeah. I agree. This is it. This is his time of year, baby.

I was about to say this is the look of a man that has really done quite well the last handful of drafts, you know, a guy who is on a good run. And I think it was reflected in how he... Well, I mean, listen, we should probably take a minute to underscore that because you are right. I mean, just the Eagles draft history

over the past five years.

Last year's draft already looks like

the least impressive because you are right. I mean, just the Eagles draft history over the past five years.
