Can you guys take it upon your collective selves to post about picks that the Birds make on Day 3 of the '26 NFL Draft? I've got something else to do tomorrow that will keep me off the board most of the day.
This is why I like how Philly handles things--they're 100% dedicated to winning. Whether it works out or not time will tell but they went big.
Howie schooling the NFL again and got the next Jordan Mailata... This guy from Nigeria is insane ... Year on the practice squad then unleash him. Fastest 40 ever by someone over 300 pounds 4.6 seconds. 39 inch vertical jump. 10 feet 10 inch broad jump. 11 inch hands. 6% body fat... Grew up playing soccer and basketball. Spend the year on the practice squad and unleash him next year. Look at this freak of nature on his NFL tryout video.
The consensus seems to be that the Eagles had a good draft. Lemon will get the most focus next season as he’ll be counted on to help make up for AJ leaving. I still don’t like that move for 2026, but understand the dynamics at play.
The TE and OT feel more developmental. That’s ok. You hope they can step in during future seasons but had big shoes to fill.
The latter-round picks seems to be lottery ticket types. I love the international pathway players, but you wonder about the odds of finding another Mailata. At least the raw athleticism is there.

Coming from Rugby, I think Mailata's skill set was at least similar to football. Pass rushing would probably be the fastest way to get Uar on the field, but as for the chances of finding another Mailata, that has to be pretty close to zero.
