After determining a couple days ago that starting PG Michael Carter-Williams should stay with the team next year, I move onto Thad Young, the team’s starting PF last year and arguably their best and most productive player. Young is one of the few veterans on the team, playing since he was drafted in the 1st round by the Sixers in 2007. He may be the longest-tenured player still on the team of 6 years, but … Continue reading
This is the beginning of a series of posts I will be doing about all of the players currently on the Sixers roster and whether or not they should keep them around for next season. I will look at many different variables such as stats from this past year, role on the team, salary, and worth to the team’s future. This should help decide who on the Sixers should stay and who should go this … Continue reading
It didn’t take too long for the Eagles to fill up their roster with free agent rookies following the draft. They immediately signed 15 guys to their roster, which is a usual thing for teams to do after the draft concludes. While they didn’t sign any huge names, they got a few guys that could make a run at a roster spot once they finally cut it down to 53 (which won’t be for a … Continue reading
The draft is finally over, and the Eagles filled a lot of their needs. They grabbed five defensive players and two WRs in total. The most surprising part was that they neglected to take an offensive lineman, which was something that GM Howie Roseman was disappointed in. Regardless, they got some good guys on paper, but I’m still not sure it was the best draft. They continued to let good players pass them by while … Continue reading
The Eagles grab their 2nd WR of the draft. 86th overall, Josh Huff from Oregon – one of Chip Kelly's own. pic.twitter.com/hjX9eUDQe9 — FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) May 10, 2014 The Eagles started the day with a 2nd round pick and two 3rd round picks, but they ended the night with only two players…and they were both WRs. Philadelphia started out with the 54th pick, but traded that and their 4th round pick (#122) to … Continue reading
22 picks came, and 22 went, and the Eagles still hadn’t picked a player. They were originally slotted to pick 22nd overall, but decided halfway through their timer to trade the pick to the Cleveland Browns for the 26th pick and the 83rd pick, which is a third rounder. It didn’t come as much of a surprise that they decided to trade down after many of their top targets were drafted right before them such … Continue reading
It’s already pretty clear that this year’s draft is going to be one of the most exciting ones that I can remember. Even the top draft experts basically have no idea who is going to get drafted to which teams, and many teams might trade up and down to mess up people’s predictions. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see multiple teams trade up to get into the top 10. As most of the … Continue reading
THIS JUST IN: 76ers PG Michael Carter-Williams will be named NBA Rookie of the Year. (via @njdotcom) pic.twitter.com/UbXUjT6kdQ — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) May 3, 2014 This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. There was no rookie in the NBA that was even close to Michael Carter-Williams, who has officially been announced as the 2014 NBA Rookie of the Year. He got 104/124 first place votes, which seems about right to me. I’m sure Victor Oladipo … Continue reading
So at this point, the Eagles would be 9-3 (if my predictions are right). That’s definitely good enough to put them high up in the standings for the conference and the league. But, the final four games of the season will likely be the hardest stretch of the season. If the Eagles want to guarantee a playoff spot, they should be coming into this final stretch with at least 8 wins, but preferably 9 (or … Continue reading
As per my predictions so far, the Eagles stand at 6-2 and likely hold the lead in the NFC East. That’s a pretty solid start to the season, especially after starting out 2-2. This puts them on a 4-game winning streak, but they go into a 4-game stretch that will be quite challenging compared to the last. Will they be able to stay ahead in the division? I guess we’ll see: Week 10 This week … Continue reading
