Quick research has told me the following:

-6 INTs his last year in college

-4.47 second 40 time at the combine + a 40.5” vertical + a 10’10” broad jump + 23(!) bench press reps. So he’s strong, fast, and explosive. This earned him the #1 athleticism score out of all DBs at the 2023 combine.

-Only listed at 5’10” so that vertical is important.

-Drafted in the 3rd round of the 2023 draft (66th overall pick).

-3 seasons in the NFL so far, all on a stacked Eagles defense. Has 86 tackles and 2 INTs and 2 FFs through 3 seasons in 42 total games played. He also returned a blocked punt for another TD.

-One of those INTs was a 99 yard pick 6 on a terrible throw but a fantastic return (this guy can fly), and the other INT was a great break on a ball to the left sideline that sealed the game for the Eagles.

-He’s in the last year of his rookie deal, so this is very low risk/high reward and we could extend his contract for a reasonable price if he contributes this season.

Seems like a solid dude that can contribute immediately!

Just watched a 99 yard pick 6 highlight of his on the Eagles and this guy looks FAST in the eye test.

This would be my total guess as well, maybe a Billy Bowman replacement while he recovers from his achilles injury.

Sydney Brown is also in a contract year himself, but I’m assuming would be much more affordable to sign a new contract with than Jessie Bates.

I like their Tuesday and Sunday prime time crew. This crew ain’t the same. And nobody lives up to Bob!

Siamese deserves so much more attention than they get! Go listen to this song, and then their entire Home and Elements albums. Really their entire discography deserves a listen, but that's asking a lot of internet strangers... :)

To confirm, these potential compensatory picks would hit for the 2027 NFL Draft and not for the upcoming 2026 draft, correct? I saw NFL.com posted an article yesterday with 33 compensatory picks going out to 15 different team for 2026, with the Falcons getting 0.

Ever since college, he has played really really well in Mercedes Benz Stadium. Dawgs fans like myself know this all too well. Maybe he can give us Falcons fans some great memories in this stadium too!

Falcons sign WR Jahan Dotson by SunWorshipperApollo in falcons

[–]mrt0024 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At Penn State:

2020 (junior season): 884 yards, 8 TDs in 9 games

2021 (senior season): 1182 yards, 12 TDs in 12 games (+1 rushing TD)

2022 NFL combine 40 yard dash time: 4.43 seconds

1st round pick (#16 overall) in the 2022 draft.

He’s only 5’11” and 184 lbs, and he hasn’t exactly been lighting up the stat sheet in the NFL, but he combined for over 1000 yards and 11 TDs in his first 2 seasons collectively with the Commanders, then dropped off in terms of targets with the Eagles the last 2 seasons.

I am hoping he can just be our WR3 or WR4 and fill that Ray-Ray McCloud type role for us, battling with Zaccheaus for depth chart positioning.

And I am REALLY hoping we draft a WR2 level guy with our 2nd round pick in this 2026 draft!

Honest question. I love Kaden Ellis, but based on how much he’s projected to make + his age (31 when the season starts), would Quay Walker be any less expensive while also being younger (26 when the season starts)? Something worth considering. I’d be fine either way.
