Yeah, I know. Wishful thinking that’s all. I think Irv Smith will still be on the board @30 for sure. I see a lot of mocks predicting you guys will take Jawaan Taylor @7.
A lot are predicting Hockenson, which would be the most ideal pick and is our biggest need. Foles' favorite target is a TE and we don't really have any. We most definitely don't have a play maker at TE and Hockenson is the real deal. It's very hard to find a flaw in his game.
Taylor would make sense also since we cut Parnell, but people forget we drafted Will Richardson (very talented, but dropped in the draft due to some off the field concerns) at RT last year in the 4th round. He injured his knee early on and it was basically a red shirt year for him. I don't think RT should be addressed in the 1st round (competition should be added at some point in the draft though), but I understand if they go that direction early because Foles is a literal statue in the pocket and must be protected.
Dwayne Haskins would be the best pick though. Would give us our future Franchise QB and it would give him a year to sit and learn behind Foles. Problem with that is, this front office is in win now mode and don't really have the luxury of drafting players to sit. This Offense needs help right now (TE, OG, WR, backup RB), or Foles is going to fail very badly. He isn't good enough to carry a team.
