Haha!!!  Technically, that's the true.  There's no way I can argue with the fact that Strange's rookie season is already better than ETN's rookie season!  I concede to your wit.

But you get my point.  We didn't need to go TE at pick 60...  That's all I'm saying.  The ETN pick, I think worked out best.  Will the Strange pick work at as good?  I don't think so.  And I'm pretty sure you know it won't either.  Engram is money.  And we have him for another 3 years.  I think NYC4Jags made a point that we all got really high on how good our O-Line was because of our success at the end of 2022.  And it turned out to be fools gold.  Or...  Maybe we adjust and start making a similar run as last year but from a better position?  

Doug Pederson has a tendency of starting season's slow and then making huge pushes towards late November and December.  We could just be watching a team slowly building up to goals Pederson has been privately been organizing.  I don't trust Press Taylor.  But I do trust Doug Pederson.

On draft day Emgram was tagged and they didn't know he would sign. Plus Pederson uses two tight ends in his offense and they lost Manhertz, so the pick made sense. Let's give him some time before we say it was a bad choice. The 3rd rounder I'm less enthusiastic about, but we're only 5 games in. If he can give us ETN like play as the season wears on it will be a good thing.
