The 2019 Eagles Draft Is Almost Here (PST Show #309)
The Philadelphia Eagles will be drafting new talent next week! Before the NFL and Eagles Draft gets here, we wanted to dive into some prospects and especially talent that doesn't necessarily get recognized by the mainstream football world. To get into some pre-draft Eagles talk with us this week is Andrew DiCecco, writer and contributor at USA Today's The Eagles Wire. We discussed draft talent and where this Eagles organization will be heading into the future.
But first, Jeff attended the Tri-County Sports Card & Collectible Show this past weekend and talked to former Phillies catcher, Gene Garber, and other sports memorabilia fans. (4:10)
Then we dove into some Flyers talk as the organization has hired Alain Vigneault as their next head coach. (21:00)
How will the Sixers continue to contend against the Brooklyn Nets as this series has given us a little bit of everything? (30:10)
This week on the Highbrow Segment, we discussed Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola who is currently having a difficult start to his season. Can the troubles with the team's "ace" trickle down to the rest of the team, who has a ton of pressure on them as it is? (36:05)
On our Lowbrow Segment this week, we our best and worst sports teams and leagues logos. (43:00)
What we're throwing down on the Table this week is an in-depth interview with first-time guest of the show, Andrew DiCecco from The Eagles Wire where we talked about this Eagles team before the NFL Draft takes place next week. First, we dove into whether we think Howie Roseman will trade out of the No. 25 overall pick in the first-round. Then we talked about whether or not the legal issues with Jalen Mills and lack of production, thus far, from Sidney Jones might affect their draft strategy on day one or two of the draft. Since Andrew scouts the under-covered and undervalued players, he went through talent many casual football and draft fans may not be familiar with. A huge question we discussed was, what will happen with this Eagles running back position in the draft and where might there be some diamonds in the rough? All of this and much more this week on the Table! (49:00)
