Eagles News: Jalen Hurts was named the winner for the fall in the Philadelphia dispute

Let’s go to Philadelphia Eagles links …

Winners / losers of the San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles negotiations – PFF
WINNER: Jalen Hurts – Hurts now looks almost ready to start as an Eagles defender in 2021. The 22-year-old defender has only made four appearances in his debut season, so it would be somewhat unfair to dismiss him at this point. Still, that small sample was not so pretty from a fleeting perspective. He was very willing to hold the ball – just as he was in Oklahoma – and he combined that with poor ball positioning and suspicious decision making. Alabama and Oklahoma recorded nine turnover moves in 197 crashes and ended the season with a 50.4% accuracy rate, which was 38th out of 41 qualified quarterbacks. The best path to success with Hurts is to build an attack around your ability to impact the game with your legs, similar to what Greg Roman did with Tyrod Taylor in Buffalo in 2015 and 2016. Hurts now has a chance to show his skills and is a big winner after Friday’s negotiations.

8 lessons from the Eagles’ trade to 12th place in the NFL’s 2021 Draft – BGN
In the short term, Hurts is clearly QB1. Except for something unexpected, this exchange prevents him from being supplanted by a newcomer called up this year. This result is not a surprise, given Jeffrey Lurie’s mandate that he needs to be the 2021 starter. The feeling here is that riding with Hurts this season is the right choice. […] The Eagles could not count on getting a quarterback in position 6. It is now clear that three are among the first three choices and there may well be a fourth selected before Philly’s original choice. The Eagles did not really have the right assets to trade, although reports indicate that they had some level of interest in doing so. On that note, the Eagles do not seem to see Hurts as an infallible long-term response. Nor should they! The 22-year-old has a lot to prove. He has the opportunity to convince the team that he is the right guy to build, going out and winning this year. It will not be easy for him because the squad is not good and he will not benefit from the Eagles by adding a pass capture weapon at No. 6. If the Hurts can thrive against the odds, however, the Eagles will know that he is the chosen. Otherwise, they will have the resources to potentially turn to a new initiator; whether selecting a passer in the NFL’s 2022 Draft or acquiring a veteran.

The exchange establishes Jalen Hurts as the initial QB, but also that the Eagles are ready to act if he is not – Inquirer
While the Eagles did their homework on the best defenders and recognized where they would be chosen, their efforts were likely to be superficial. Owner Jeffrey Lurie told Roseman to build the cast around Hurts and prioritize his success, said NFL sources familiar with the Eagles’ thinking, confirming an ESPN report earlier this month. Lurie, who was instrumental in recruiting Roseman for Hurts in the second round last year, has always valued mobile quarterbacks, and that same thought has influenced her high regard for Hurts. Does this mean that it is sold in the long term of 22 years? How could he be after just four varied starts in his debut season?

Classifying the play: Eagles switch from No. 6 to No. 12, add another ’22 in the first round – The Athletic
What concerns me about the change is that it fits perfectly into this year’s draft narrative being more difficult to observe and the team punting as a result. It is also worth mentioning how stark the difference between choices 6 and 12 is. The last 10 choices in. 6 overall include Justin Herbert, Quenton Nelson, Jamal Adams, Ronnie Stanley, Jake Matthews, Leonard Williams and Julio Jones, all of whom could be described as players who make a difference. The group in 12th position includes four such players (Fletcher Cox, Deshaun Watson, Vita Vea and Odell Beckham) and six others who seem unworthy of the choice in retrospect, even if it is early for someone like Henry Ruggs. In short, the chances of the Eagles adding the type of player who can reshape their squad have decreased today. I think the play is good, the timing is not ideal and it is fair for you to be careful with the Eagles making the most of choice number 12.

Why is the Philadelphia Eagles falling to 12th position in the 2021 draft of the NFL? – ESPN
Any dreams fans had of tight end Kyle Pitts or wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase running out of the Lincoln Financial Field tunnel in a Philadelphia Eagles uniform probably broke up on Friday, when the Eagles switched to number 6 in the 2021 draft of the NFL. with a choice of fifth round in 2021 (No. 156) for the Miami Dolphins for the choice of No. 12, a choice of fourth round (No. 123) and a choice of 2022 in the first round. The risk here is obvious: the Eagles are missing out on the chance to arrest a top-notch star and it could come back to haunt them. This is a unique year in which a defender can be selected with each of the first four choices in the draft, pushing some serious talent down in the process. This makes slot # 6 quite desirable. The Dolphins certainly thought so. Why miss this opportunity? It gives the Eagles options.

What draft prospects are yet to be available for Eagles in choice 12? – PhillyVoice
Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama: the first four games of Waddle before getting injured at the start of Game # 5 against Tennessee. If Waddle never gets hurt, will DeVonta Smith beat Heisman? There are those who believe that Waddle’s characteristics – that is, his elite speed – will translate better into the NFL than Smith’s. He probably will have gone at this point, because of that speed, but it would be a dunk if he is still there.

A Surprise Trade – Iggles Blitz
Some people were upset with Howie Roseman for coming back, because they think there is another player that he prefers or that he is trying to be too cute to get the player he wants. Again, you can bet Howie loves Chase and Pitts. They are great prospects. But going back six places is no big deal and the Eagles can have three choices in the first round in April. This would give them a chance to be very aggressive if they want to switch to a star or a QB. Or the team can add a lot of talent in one night. I love to think about the three choices from the first round.

Examining eagles’ moves so far in 2021 – PE.com
The Eagles strongly believe in Jalen Hurts when he enters his second season, but that does not mean that they will give him the title without him improving his game. Hurts has been working hard in the off-season and he must take his game to a new level, but the defense coordinators have seen every crack of his four games in 2020 and are planning ways to take Hurts’ mobility and strengths out of the way. Therefore, the Eagles will need to counterattack with Offensive Coordinator Shane Steichen and Sirianni making a big plan when the Hurts play. Is he the proprietor? Well, as you know, there is no depth chart, as Hurts and Flacco head to spring training as the only two defenders on the squad. The idea, of course, is that the competition will awaken the best of the players. That is the general plan here. The Eagles did not finish as a defender. Teams traditionally carry four for Training Camp and most carry three on the active list in the regular season.

2021 NFL Draft trades: Cowboys now have the best choice of all NFC East teams – Blogging The Boys
In the end, it probably would have been better for the Cowboys if the Eagles had continued to play musical chairs in the quarterback and won number six this season, but there are certainly many pros for them shifting positions. With the Eagles seated at number 12 now, there is no way they will land on the LSU wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase or Florida TE Kyle Pitts, which means that the Cowboys won’t have to face them twice a year. This is very good news.

How can Friday’s negotiations impact the Giants? – Big Blue View
Moving on to NFC East, this removes the possibility that the Eagles will take Chase or Pitts and the Giants will have to deal with them for four or five years. However, it also gives the Giants division rival additional choices to add to their list. The Eagles are in a mess now, needing to rebuild an old and expensive squad, as well as develop QB Jalen Hurts. Additional preliminary capital this year and next will help them get back to competitiveness much sooner.

The Dolphins rocked the NFL draft with 2 big deals – SB Nation
The Eagles get more talent for the future, while maintaining their ability to get an ace to help Jalen Hurts. The Eagles’ positions of need do not really guarantee the use of a choice in the top 10, so they also maximize their value in the end. Whenever a deal of this size takes place, it will be scrutinized for years to determine who came out “on top”, but this can be one of the most mutually beneficial deals for all parties, assuming players do well. Neither Miami nor Philadelphia needed a quarterback, the 49ers did, and everyone found a way to get what they needed from it.

2021 NFL Draft Special # 6: The 49ers moves up to # 3, Dolphins to # 6, Eagles to # 12 – The SB Nation NFL Show
Rob “Stats” Guerrera and Kyle Posey react to two massive negotiations that took place on Friday between 49ers, Dolphins and Eagles. What does the move from 49ers to third place say about Jimmy Garoppolo? Which quarterback do the 49ers want with third choice in the draft? What is Miami thinking about trading down and then coming back up? Does this move mean that the Eagles are all-in on Jalen Hurts?

Vikings sign CB Mackensie Alexander – Daily Norseman
On Friday, the Minnesota Vikings brought back another familiar face in an effort to help reinforce the secondary. Numerous sources report that the Vikings hired cornerback Mackensie Alexander. The terms of the agreement were not immediately available. Alexander was chosen by Clemson for the second round in the 2016 NFL Draft. After a bit of a struggle in the early seasons, he finally embraced the role of internal defender in his last seasons with the team and flourished, proving to be a solid member of the secondary. He followed his teammate Trae Waynes to Cincinnati for the 2020 season and is now back to where he started. [BLG Note: Another free agent CB option off the board. Alexander had ties to Jonathan Gannon.]
