The Huddle Report updated their Top 200 list. It's one of the more well-researched ones when it comes to NFL sources, so worth browsing.
They also added some mock drafts, one of which comes from the guy who runs the website, Robby Esch. He has the Giants taking Zay Flowers, which I'm perfectly fine with, but he also has the
Eagles taking Bijan Robinson with the 10th overall pick. He's the first draftnik to have Robinson going in the top ten even though just about every one of them have him ranked in the top six (Jeremiah has him #3, DraftTek has him #4, Draft Board Guru has him #5, THR and GBN have him #6).
Robinson to the Eagles will haunt us for the next 5+ years. Only thing worse than the Eagles landing Robinson with the 10th overall pick is them trading down with a QB-hungry team and still managing to get him with a mid-first round pick.

buck up little camper, you'll get through this. have faith in your leaders.
Exactly.
they are the team that I love to hate the most but they've played the draft and FA as well as you can. This has set them up in a situation where they have a great team and the #10 pick.
Was he touched by the hand of God, too? Is he being fitted for a gold jacket?
That's what I found more fearful.
I mean I'm sure he's going to be a fine pro in all likelihood, but no slot receivers with a high pick please.

..So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days..

Along those same lines I love how gen Grant admonished his staff for always worrying about Lee.
Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what we are going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do.
Some people may need a reminder.
Superbowl wins:
Giants: 4
Eagles: 1
this Eagles fear is annoying.
Both McCarthy and Rivera have said they want to run the ball more.
I hope the Giants are anticipating this and are prepared as I expect the NFCE to be a really competitive division and who wins the battle of the fronts is going to be a very big factor.
I have nO idea if Robinson is worth that spot or not but it would be a really smart way to protect their offense and Hurts. They are deep and their OL is very good. Makes a lot of sense.
If they stay put, it’s going to be DL. Way too much talent there for a team that always favors the lines early in the draft. I wouldn’t rule out Bijan in a trade down though or in the event he falls to 30.
Quote:
leads you to believe they will consider taking a RB at 10?
They let Miles Saunders walk without a fight and did nothing to replace him. They are going RB at some point in the draft and are perfectly positioned to take the best of the bunch with pick #10.
They let miles sanders walk because they don’t pay RB’s. They use Gainwell and Scott. They signed Rashad Penny and, yes, they will draft someone. But not at 10. Relax dude.
Barry Sanders? Cmon Milton, I don't see it.
Quote:
...when it comes to making people miss in tight quarters and he's a much better pass catcher than Sanders ever was. He will be the NFL's best RB as a rookie.
Barry Sanders? Cmon Milton, I don't see it.
Highlights - ( New Window )
Let's just build on last season with a draft that supports the systems we are currently developing.
