Thank you captain hindsight4/14/2023 ![]() Round 4 (pick 113): Rashad Greene, WR, Florida State So as a supporter of drafting the best players available, if they liked Hicks this much, then fine. I do have an appreciation for drafting "the best player available," and Chip Kelly noted after this pick that there wasn't a player on their board that had a grade anywhere close to Hicks. Fo the purpose of calling my shot, it more than likely would have been size-speed freak pass rusher Danielle Hunter, who went to the Vikings at pick #88. Hicks was completely off my radar heading into the draft, so to be clear, this is not who I would have taken with this pick. ![]() Where Hicks went: 84th overall to the Eagles. Round 3 (pick 84): Jordan Hicks, ILB, Texas Fisher could have potentially been an immediate starter as guard, with the long term likelihood that he would kick out to right tackle. They went with Rowe, obviously, but in this scenario, they could have just stood pat and gotten sorely needed OL help without trading away their fifth round picks. During the draft, in the moments immediately after it was announced that the Eagles had traded up from 52 to 47, the two most likely players I thought they were targeting were Rowe and Fisher. ![]() I was very surprised that Fisher fell all the way to pick #52, as he was a player a lot of people thought could be in play for the Eagles at pick #20. Where Fisher went: 53rd overall to the Bengals. 191st overall pick (which became CB JaCorey Shepherd)
