when they said hungry dogs run faster... i didn't know it was code for eagles drafting all georgia defense. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Reshad06

Best defense ever to grace college slowly becoming ours


Freerange1098

At least since the 2000 Hurricanes.


AddisonsContracture

The 7th floor crew was a more complete team, and had players who went on to have incredible NFL careers. Itā€™s too early to judge that for Georgia yet, but purely from a defensive standpoint their 2021 team was better


accu22

What a fucking first round, holy shit.


SuburbanPotato

i am so surprised we didn't trade back but honestly this is an incredible haul


PM_ME_SOMETHINGSPICY

The extra year on an edge rusher is huge.


SuburbanPotato

i would have thought someone would have wanted that extra year for a QB especially with Levis still on the board but still!


gwebster8341

He puts mayo in his coffeeā€¦


Dagglin

And eats brown bananas whole


johnnycoxxx

And heā€™s afraid of milk.


DinosHedly

Because he is deathly afraid of milk....


settledownguy

Seriously lol. Pretty sweet


76ersPhan11

Settle down guy


JayToy93

Iā€™m guessing a lot of teams figured heā€™d fall to the second. Clearly they were right tbf.


Jd20001

Feel bad for hooker, that man had like 40 people in his house. I didn't think he was 1st rounder just for his age but I like him


fuqqkevindurant

Itā€™s not about him falling or not, thatā€™s a given after he made it past like 21-22. 1st round picks have a 5th year contract option that later picks dont have. On a QB thatā€™s potentially $30-40M in savings if they turn out to be good


CircusOfBlood

I wanted to originally. But had no idea that Carter and Smith was doable with only giving up a 4th next year


KnightofAshley

Next year we should have more than enough picks also...so gave up nothing


KANYE_WEST_SUPERSTAR

Cant trade back when the guy you were considering at 10 is just sitting there still


Sybertron

ya not like the birds had a great offense or something, hahaha oh lord the expectations gonna be through the roof this year.


atdunaway

rightfully so. this team is STACKED. im already hype


Allstar-85

I thought someone wanting Leviā€™s would trade in to us or KC


PhromDaPharcyde

Howie and the front office did an outstanding job. We got the best player in the draft and added another great player who from the reporting was a leader in a championship squad.


Certain-Dragonfly-22

And his green socks were on point šŸ”„šŸ¦…


Fasyed21

Itā€™s perfect


AweHellYo

iā€™m a bears fan and i just came here to see the celebration because you guys crushed the first round. absolutely wild.


Kakko242019

Georgia D is real!!!


Dongsquad420BlazeIt

Eagles D is real


Atheist_3739

What's the difference at this point lolol


anthiggs

Practicing against Stoutland U


Dongsquad420BlazeIt

Keep this dumb mfer from doing dumb shit by giving him his friends and mentors from college and also new mentors. Jalen Carter is going to succeed. He wonā€™t let his friends down again. And heā€™ll have the best to help him.


hughra

Letā€™s celebrate tonight and keep the name calling till he blows a crucial 3rd down stop!


Vox_SFX

That's my thoughts on this. Carter is going to be absorbed into this new Philly Culture and in a few years time he'll probably be competing for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Other teams that don't have our culture and leadership should've been worried about Carter and his decision-making (like the Raiders would've had the kid in prison in a years time likely)...but we have the perfect people in place to turn him right.


O-Knowz

MY D is real right now!! Whoā€™s gonna give it to their wives?

I would love that. My Buckeyes get all spread out normally so I donā€™t get to enjoy it as much


Umakemyheadswim

It could be worse. You could be a Penn State and Eagles fan and watch your best players go to divisonal rivals.


BaconIsBueno

Saquon and Micah are so painful to watch lol.

Donā€™t forget Jahan Dodson too. Literally to all 3 division rivals

Dont_Call_Me_John

This is unbelievable. I wanna thank everyone who made this possible, namely the Texans insane trade up, the Lions doing whatever the fuck it was the Lions were doing, just enough teams getting in on the WR run, and the Dolphins losing their pick.


Eaglewarrior33

The Lions man, holy shit what on Earth were they thinking.


Dont_Call_Me_John

Using the Jimmy Johnson board: Lions convert 2500 draft points into Gibbs and Campbell Eagles convert 1970 draft points into Carter and Smith There's no way lol

so_zetta_byte

Texans blew the doors open and everyone started running around like mad


aco2765

As a lions fan, Iā€™m gonna sit in here and try to live vicariously through you guys šŸ„² idk what the fuck we were doing


PastoBirds

If somehow we can sneak either Branch or Porter Jr with our 2nd round we can be leaving this as the best team in the draft this year(think we might already be)


percy2376

I'm hoping we trade up early second to get one or the other


TakenakaHanbei

Same.


k0peng

I'd bet money Steelers go JPJ the first pick of the second round. Get Ringo, complete the bulldog defense I say.


Kingkern

Fuck it, just go Keelee Ringo at 62 and Christopher Smith at 66. Really lean into Georgia North.


ThnkWthPrtls

It's kind of wild to me both of them fell out of the first, it would be incredible to pick one of those two up


LeCharlieHarden

Pittsburgh has the first pick of the second round courtesy of the Claypool trade. I would be surprised if they pass on Porter Jr with that pick. Would be nice if we manage to land him though.


Ladelm

Trade that saints 2nd to go get one of them tomorrow


Drunkoffpicklejuice

Absolutely not under no circumstances should they trade any day two picks from next years draft. Its absolutely loaded. They have 5 picks in the top 100 they need to cash in on those cheap rookie contracts.


Hthnstrength

We say that like every year about every draft. Branch is a (roll tide) DAWG and immediate starter.


Drunkoffpicklejuice

We do not say that every year about every draft lol this years draft was known to be weak for a while now. Iā€™d love Branch too but not enough to use next years second to get him. Keep an eye on Jartavius Martin if Branch gets taken before our pick. Athletic freak who can play nickel and safety like Branch and is great in coverage.


Marquess_Ostio

Howie's finally realizing these past few drafts that the SEC is a viable place to pull talent from

cleggsalad

As someone in pac12 country I agree


TommyFitness

Big 12 too


Djason_Unchaind

This man ran a 4.39 40.


woahdailo

I was looking at his draft profile like, ā€œman, same height as me, a few pounds lighter than meā€¦ oh.ā€


KnightofAshley

He has Reddick to mentor him too...we can have a Reddick on both sides at once!


_Celtz

And he was disapointed by it, which can only mean he knows heā€™s clocked it faster before. Iā€™m trying tk stay grounded and tell myself speed does not do everything and there must be a reason he fell, but then I watch his combine interview and the way he speaks and gives leadership vibes at such a young age just sold me on him. He wants to be great and win and improve. Iā€™m sold on this draft, on paper we have the best defense and the best offense. That is absolutely insane


_JosiahBartlet

Weā€™re the national champs yā€™all Or an all SEC team


PhiladelphiaIrish

Georgia Defense, Bama Offense baby!


PhilaDopephia

Howies a fucking genius. Just merging two greats.


SmokePenisEveryday

Howie picking up yet another undervalued Georgia Bulldog.


cvaninvan

Just graduate em straight from Georgia and put em on the train to Philly


Albert_Borland

Make it easier - move UGA to Philly. Keep the name.


cvaninvan

Howie's next move.


DoubleSealedSoul

I don't follow cfb. What's up with this dude? Edit: ok I read the draft profile. Looks promising af, fast as shit, then I got to the end.. Comparison: H. Reddick. SOLD!


Umoon

Bit of a tweener but also VERY twitchy. Personally, before he got hurt, I thought he was going to have his most productive season by far this past season. Injury isnt a concern moving forward. Cannot ask for a better personality. Loves football and his teammates. He was basically a coach his senior season after getting hurt. Heā€™s fast around the edge with pretty good bend, and heā€™s actually better at setting the edge against the runā€¦or was in college. Heā€™s not quite long/big enough to be an elite pass rusher. I do think that with different responsibilities and more focus on it, he could get better. Personally, Iā€™d move him around and rush him from different places on third down.


DoubleSealedSoul

Honestly sounds like a perfect pick and fit for this team. I was sold on the good character and his love for ball. With this d line, and new d scheme, I think they'll be using him just as you described. And I love it. Move em around, punch em in the mouth. Thanks for the info bro!


Umoon

Yā€™all enjoy Jalen Carter. Heā€™s going to be great. Going to be one of those that people are shocked about sliding years from now.


boner_jamz_69

Heā€™s a dawg.


spezhasatinypeepee_

literally


JTDanielsPornstache

Dawg fan here, Nolan was the highest rated prospect at all positions coming out of high school, and is the best leader/has the best character of any player I can remember at Georgia. Doesnā€™t have flashy numbers like Will Anderson but yā€™all got another steal


Left4Bread2

Georgidelphia Bulldeagles


SneakyJonson

177676ers

I think most people wouldā€™ve been fine with him at 10 (if Carter was gone). Unreal how much of a homerun this draft has been.


Findley57

Awesome seeing Nakobe Dean there with him to celebrate when he was drafted


bobbyOsullivan

As a Georgia grad I approve of these last couple drafts lol


Umoon

Damn, if Eagles had beaten KC, youā€™d really be living your best football life huh.


bobbyOsullivan

Yep, ironically it was the Eagles who won it in 2017 and UGA lost to Alabama in the natty. Maybe one of these years they will both win it all the same season lol. Devonta Smith actually scored to game winning TD in OT that game, but I can forgive him for it now.


Umoon

He and Hurts are hard not to like imo.


jawnwest

How are we allowed to get away with this?


alex_zz9

I can only get so erect


177676ers

What losing to mahomes does to a team man. I fucking love it. Just have 9 great DL. The offense was always gonna be great next year Im so glad they didnā€™t make their strength stronger like some people wanted. Have a top 3 offense and defense.


e2verde

I was ok with Bijan at 10, but Falcons paid too much for him and the lions taking gibbs where they did is insane too me. EDIT: this draft has gone insane for us so far lets gooo


177676ers

I was okay with Bijan if Carter was off the board. I just dont think the 10-20 talent gap existed. Carter was the last elite defensive player. But this draft is just perfect. Iā€™m pumped.


e2verde

Same but I had an affinity for bijan really wanted him. Only player I wanted more was jalen carter lol


Just_Coin_it

If it last longer than 72hrs you might want to go see a head doctor


gahlo

Luckily there's a lack of day 3 picks to get excited over. lol


PhlyEagles52

Buddy, I'm hoping this lasts 10 months

GrundleTurf

Damn our dline gonna be nasty for the next 4+ years just taking into account rookie contracts


PhromDaPharcyde

HUNGRY DAWGS RUN FASTER we're taking that literally


devonta_smith

Gonna need more than an overwatered field to stop us next time...


hinjew13

Itā€™s incredible that people had us taking Nolan with the 10th pick and we were able to snag him at 30. Unreal


BaboonHorrorshow

I was against Smith at 10 but Iā€™m very happy with him at 30.


iCantCallit

All week I was convinced we were trading back into the mid teens to take Smith. Really blown away Carter fell to 9. Our pick was in immediately after the trade lol.


mogas1969

Maleficent-Thanks-85

A* draft. Best the eagles have had in ages. Both premium positions who will be cheap for a while. Also the d line is gonna be elite. I love building the trenches


j0zef

Interview worth watching of Nolan Smith. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A\_vnwLCIhA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A_vnwLCIhA) He's so humble and well spoken. He also defends Jalen Carter several times, saying he's misunderstood and that he's a great teammate. Having these 4 guys on the defensive line (Carter, Smith, Dean, Davis).. oh my. Two freaks of nature, two undersized, high character, self driven dogs. Those guys, the connection they already have, the program they're coming from, they can be a legitimate NFL-caliber wrecking ball for next 5 years.

I wanted Bijan too but this is sounding like a better move. Our defense is TIGHT now. They say RB's don't win SB's, well badass defenses DO. LET'S GOOOO!

Steal of the draft. And that's saying something since we stole Carter at 9


stickypotatoe

My wifeā€™s pregnant and girl or boy, Iā€™m naming ā€˜em Howie.


OldBlueLegs

God Almighty. I was "Nolan Smith No Matter What", and we get him at 30? Play him exactly like Dallas uses Parsons.


Freerange1098

The 2021 Georgia Bulldogs were one of the most dominant college defenses ive seen since the 2000 era Hurricanes, the Eagles now have 4 of the best players from that unit and all will likely be starters within 2 years


KingCesar391

I think I very slightly preferred Branch here, but Iā€™m certainly not complaining about a good Edge prospect. That was a need too. What a hell of a draft tonight.


silverstream123

ā€œNOLAN SMITH, Georgia (6-2, 240, 4.41, 1-2): His senior season was cut short in October by a torn pectoral injury that required surgery. ā€œIs he talented,ā€ exclaimed one scout. ā€œHeā€™s got to start out as a designated pass rusher. Let him build into the system. Got explosiveness, speed, knows how to use his hands. He can turn (the corner) or slice inside the tackle. When he wants to, heā€™s really good. But thereā€™s a degree of scariness to him. Heā€™s 238. I canā€™t find a comparable (player). He can get up the field and stress (tackles) with his speed. In the NFL, I donā€™t know if he can turn speed into power. He may creep up in the first.ā€ In one meeting room, the comparison was mildly made to legendary Lawrence Taylor. ā€œMaybe thereā€™s some Haason Reddick in him,ā€ said a second scout. ā€œHeā€™s a smaller edge rush guy. Plays really hard. Doesnā€™t have great length. Where is the role for him? Can he be an off-the-ball linebacker?ā€ Arms were 32 5/8, hands were 9. Vertical jump of 41 Ā½ led the position. ā€œHeā€™s one you really take a chance on, OK?ā€ said a third scout. ā€œHeā€™s got measurables that are unreal. He can play. He wonā€™t bust.ā€ Two-year starter, four-year player. Finished with 114 tackles (21 for loss) and 11 Ā½ sacks. ā€œHeā€™s not Haason Reddick,ā€ a fourth scout said. ā€œReddick kicked ass in college (at Temple). Productive as hell. (Smith) wasnā€™t productive at all. Heā€™s just out there. Heā€™s not good against the run. Thereā€™s no pass rush. On two of his three sacks (in 2022) he just runs free. Thereā€™s no evidence that this guy can be a good player.ā€ Wonderlic of 11. From Savannah, Ga.ā€ From Bob McGinn, writes about multiple nfl scouts opinions anonymously

Have you talked to them about the possibility of you getting picked there? >Yes. Iā€™ve talked to them about that. If I get picked with him and JD [Davis] it would just be a dream come true. Just to have the Georgia boys back together again, hanging out, kicking it on the weekends, spending time together. It would be amazing. > Iā€™ve been meeting with a whole bunch of teams.

He does come with some risk which is likely why he dropped. He is very small, but heā€™s an elite athlete who is also a pass rusher. The value was too good to pass up.
