@applejack10_@PHNX_Cardinals@JohnnyVenerable@RapSheet Bad teams continue to trade good players for picks. The defense was injured last year - you have a ton of young kids on that defense and you need a leader to help develop them. Sweat is necessary for that locker room
@BoBrack With the improved OL and even a remotely more healthy defense than last year I really don't know why the national media has us picking top-3 in the 2027 draft
@ClancysCorner Why can’t you draft Simpson and let Brissett or Gardner start week 1, Simpson has time to work with his receivers in camp and practice and you can see how MHJ fares with a veteran early. I don’t get the extremes
@Ellen_Degen_1@JohnnyVenerable Isn't that the case with every single rookie QB? Ward was that way last year. But if he shows potential, now you don't have to worry about the other 6 QB needy teams in '27 draft and can focus on DE and OL. Plus, he gets that year under his belt where we are rebuilding anyway
@Ellen_Degen_1@JohnnyVenerable I've been in on Ty well before. My mindset is if Lafluer wants him, get him. They will only take Simpson if Lafluer believes he can be the guy. And if he takes 2 years - so what? Build out the o-line and DE in 2027 after he gets some experience.
Had the chance to interview one of the @Phillies top prospects, Dante Nori
We discuss Nori’s plate approach and early success in AA, his power surge, WBC success and his player role models!
