Eagles strategy

Breeze_94 : 11/20/2021 11:55 am
One thing I’ll give their FO credit for is they lock up their guys to new extensions and they do it early. This was key to building their super bowl core (Johnson, Kelce, Graham, Cox, Ertz, etc) and they are taking the same strategy with their 2018 class.

The Giants on the other hand wait and end up paying what they would on the open market.

Now the Giants 2018 class also has nobody worth signing long term right now so haven’t really had the chance to see them do this. But I’d like to see them do it in upcoming years with Lawrence, Thomas and McKinney.
That strategy is no secret,

most NFL teams attempt to do that. The problem is that there have been so few recent draft picks worthy of a 2nd contract, no less locking up early. Thomas and McKinney might be exceptions (Ojulari and Toney as well), so we’ll see how their contracts are handled.
Can we trade Lawrence to

The Vikings or will we get more compensation when he signs with the Vikings as a free agent.

We have done a great job of stating their defensive tackles.

22.5
Goeddert 59 million
Mailatta 65 million?

This isn’t Ertz, lane Johnson, Brandon Graham, etc who they did this too last time
A lot of people thought they would be awful

Yet, there offense is producing and scoring points. Hurts & Smith giving that offense some life.

The Giants are Minnesota's DT minor league system.

I don’t think anyone thought they would be awful. They have a good Oline that makes any offense efficient. An offensive line goes a long way in this game.
I would also add they didn’t beat a murderers row of teams either

They beat the Falcons, Carolina without McFaf, the Lions, and Denver because of a game changing fumble. Now, they get to play NO with Siemen as QB and Kamara out. But if this causes them to overrate their talent then that’s a good thing
Wait…. What???
