The success started with the drafting of TLaw and was completed with the hiring of Doug Pederson. Last year we added Kirk, Jones, Engram, Scherff, Foye, Fatukasi, Darious Williams, Arden Key (along with a recovered ETN), it was a huge and hugely expensive free agent class. But sure, it was all because ETN played, lol. As for the 2021 draft, ETN was going to be the 3rd down back for Urbsie, he wasn't even taking him to be the starter but to be the gadget guy. It's probably good for ETN that he did get hurt and not have to play for that [BLEEP] hole. I can't imagine how Meyer would've screwed him up if he was actually available and riding the bench in favor of Carlos Hyde.

So you can look it all up and not take my word for it...

We had pick 25, where we took Elite-EN. 

From pick 26 to pick 37, no O-Linemen was picked.  So 11 other teams, after us skipped on picking a lineman.  Pick 37 was the Eagles picking up Landon Dickerson.  Turned out to be a good pick.  BUT!!!  He had just blown out his knee in the SEC Championship game that prior December!!!  It was a risky pick.  It paid off, but dude, it was not like teams were clamoring to get him. 

The next O-Lineman drafted in 2021 was at 39 to the Bears.  That guy has only taken 38 snaps this entire season.  Dudes a bench bro.  Just a guy.  Can't even get into the starting lineup.

Next up?  Liam Eichenburg at 42...  Dude's also a back up.  Terrible PFF grade and is riding the bench with only 94 snaps this season.

So guess who's next?  Walker Little at 45.  Do I need to say anymore?

Our holy mods are so wise.  Except when they aren't.

Elite-EN was a great pick up at the perfect spot in that 2021 draft.  And we still got, if not the best available Lineman outside of the top 24 picks, then the 2nd best lineman within that range of draft picks.  (24-45)

Dickerson and Jenkins are who I referred to and I also mentioned we could have traded down. 

What the hell are you blathering about?
