Whats going on y’all, Football season will be here before we know it. Which for eagles fans usually means the beginning of another 8 months of disappointment. However, in my blog ” If I was the GM” we’re going to discuss all the moves Philadelphia should make to return to the Super Bowl.
First step, Free Agency:
CB Byron Jones:
All true eagles fans know the issue with offering big named Corner-Backs large free agent contracts. But just to remind you, Nnamdi Assomugha, Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie, and Byron Maxwell and that’s just the last 10 years. Either way, I believe the eagles should take one very long look at singing Byron Jones
Byron provides unreal athleticism, with strong man coverage skills. A strong candidate for the #1 CB roll vacated with the departure of either fan favorite Jaylin Mills, or the often burnt Ronald Darby.
LDE Yannick Ngakoue: The eagles defense is predicated on an effective pass rush capable of quickly getting too the quarterback. This formula worked fantastically in 2017, aka super bowl year. But as of late, the supreme depth once displayed is all but gone. While Brandon Graham is a stud, the inconcistences of Derek Barnett is a constant threat to overall defensive Line Effectiveness.
Thats where Yannick Ngakou come in. Ngakou will cost a pretty heavy penny, but the chance of pairing this star pass rusher with Fletcher Cox, Malik Jackson, and Brandon Graham is something worth consideration.
Thanks for checking in guys, next week we’ll discuss some early draft targets.
