Mailbag: Our Eagles 'hindsight' draft, and the best steals/worst reaches of 2021
In our Eagles chat last Thursday, there were a lot of questions that we could not get to in time or other questions we did answer but could use more color. And so, let's do a mailbag post to answer some of the overflow, as well as some commonly asked questions on Twitter and via email.May 9, 2021

NFC East 2021 grades: Football Team edition
In the first Ron Rivera-led draft in 2020, The Washington Football Team made the right move by selecting Chase Young instead of Tua Tagovailoa, and they also found a pair of starters on Days 2 and 3 in RB Antonio Gibson and S Kamren Curl, respectively. Let's grade their 2021 follow-up draft here.May 8, 2021

NFC East 2021 draft grades: Giants edition
In case you're new here, we've goofed on GM Dave Gettleman quite a bit for moves he has made both in the draft and free agency that have lacked logic and modern analytic thinking. However, in the 2021 NFL Draft, Gettleman and the New York Giants made some savvy moves, and set themselves up to add good, young talent over the next few years. Let's analyze their picks, and trades.May 7, 2021

NFC East 2021 draft grades: Cowboys edition
The Dallas Cowboys' 2020 draft was thought of by many as a coup for the team, as they landed WR CeeDee Lamb in Round 1 and CB Trevon Diggs in Round 2. We gave them an A-. The 2021 draft? Eh, not as good. Let's analyze each of the Cowboys' picks, and give them an overall grade.May 6, 2021

How many compensatory picks should the Eagles expect to receive in the 2022 NFL Draft?
On the Monday after the conclusion of 2020 NFL Draft, the deadline for unrestricted free agent signings to count toward the compensatory pick formula was reached. Any players signed after that deadline do not count toward the formula, and so, the teams that will receive compensatory picks are mostly known, with some wiggle room for changes due to in-season factors like playing time, for example.May 6, 2021

The Eagles' remaining holes to fill, post-draft, and who can fill them
Each year after the draft has come and gone, the Philadelphia Eagles typically sign a veteran player or two to plug unfilled holes on their depth chart. In recent years, they have done so with an eye toward competing for a Super Bowl. This year it'll probably just be to find competent Band-Aids to get them through the season, or at least that's all the Eagles should be interested in.Just In
