00:00But maybe we should be talking about the Philadelphia Eagles, another wild day for Howie Roseman
00:08and company, making a ton of trades.
00:09They end up with a ton of players too.
00:12I mean, this is just Matt one team that is not afraid to grind the roster.
00:16Not at all.
00:17And I think you just look at the situation, they have a super bowl ready roster and they
00:23just need to make a little bit of tweak, tweak some additions and next thing you know, they're
00:28right back in the super bowl.
00:30So they did what they had to do or what they felt they had to do.
00:33And certainly secondary was a big position in need last year.
00:37They went out and address that with their first two picks, getting the two guys that
00:41some people feel were the two best corners in the draft, if not the best two, at least
00:46two of the best three or four.
00:48And I think it's tough to imagine a team with two rookie defensive backs, you know, not
00:54getting targeted and having a ton of success.
00:58But at the very least you did improve.
00:59And I think that's going to go a long way next year, especially in a division where
01:03you certainly know that the Cowboys are going to be a potent offense and you have some other
01:08teams that really beefed up their wide receivers or their quarterback situations.
01:14And you're going to, you know, certainly need a little bit more strength in the secondary
01:18against them to nevermind once you get into the playoffs and you're facing the 49ers and
01:22the Lions or the Falcons or whoever you're facing.
01:25So I think a great three days for them.
01:29They made some other nice picks later on, you know, getting some, you know, positions
01:33in need and getting some depth and getting some unique players like with Johnny Wilson,
01:38who could be a huge red zone threat for them.
01:40Getting him in the sixth round, I think was a really smart pick and interesting pick that
01:45I'll be interested to see if they can, you know, really make him into something, if not
01:49next year, in the next year after that.
01:51So I thought just a great draft for them and the type of draft that teams who are one
01:56step away from winning a Super Bowl, that's the kind of draft they have.
