Eagles Film Review: Parris Campbell, DeVante Parker, and others

Proper, the primary a part of NFL price company is actually over. You probably have missed any of my participant breakdowns, then please verify them out.

Bryce Huff / Saquon Barkley / Devin White / CJGJ (written final yr).

The Eagles did make a couple of different signings, however I have to get into draft prospects, so I don’t have the time to look at all of those gamers in-depth like the opposite 3. Nevertheless, I did need to briefly verify them out, and I’ve posted some ideas on each under. If the Eagles make one other massive signing, I’ll most likely watch them in-depth too.

That is half 2, so return and browse half 1 when you haven’t already! Additionally, try the newest On The Shane Web page podcast for BGN Radio:

WR Parris Campbell, 1-year deal.

Oh boy. I promise I received’t get too excited however… I used to be a fan of Campbell popping out of faculty. That is what I mentioned about him, again in 2019.

Every part he does is quick. He can’t get off press so must be a Z or slot receiver. His routes want a number of refinement and he’s uncooked as a route runner. Nevertheless, he has electrical velocity and he can simply run previous off protection. He has nice velocity to get YAC on drag, curls and so on. Ought to be an explosive participant however the query is – is he a reliable Z or simply an explosive bundle participant?

Properly, I suppose he turned out to be extra of an explosive bundle participant.

Regardless of his athletic profile, it by no means actually labored out with the Colts or the Giants this previous season. It’s all the time fascinating to research what went mistaken with a participant, however a number of the time it’s on account of fundamental issues, corresponding to accidents. It’s arduous to achieve success like this (chart through Draft Sharks).

In addition to this, Campbell has not been in a steady setting with a robust quarterback throughout his time with the Colts and the Giants. He’s additionally been requested to play exterior at instances, which I don’t suppose fits his ability set. In his rookie yr, he performed extra snaps out extensive than within the slot, and in 2021 he performed 161 snaps extensive and 16 snaps within the slot. This appears loopy to me.

His greatest season was 2022 when he had 623 yards and stayed wholesome all yr. In 2022 he performed 756 of his 991 snaps within the slot, which proves my level.

I don’t suppose Parris Campbell will turn into the Eagles WR3 or beginning slot receiver, though he’s an improve on Quez Watkins. However I do suppose Campbell ought to make the crew and can be utilized as an explosive gadget participant. In my assessment of Kellen Moore’s offense, I discussed this…

‘WR Fly Sweeps’. Kellen Moore likes to make use of his receiver within the run recreation and I’m going to be trying arduous at extensive receivers who excel with the ball of their palms within the draft this yr. The Eagles completely want a brand new profile at WR3 this offseason. WR3 performs an vital position in Moore’s offense as a result of he likes to run performs like this.

How will you not be excited by this?

I maintain telling myself to not be excited by Parris Campbell. He was drafted 5 years in the past and solely has 44 catches for 1087 yards. I shouldn’t be excited however… I hope the Eagles use him as their extensive receiver 4 and provides him a few alternatives a day to make a couple of massive performs. I nonetheless imagine…

CB Tyler Corridor, 1-year deal.

I noticed a good bit of pleasure about Tyler Corridor on-line, which is somewhat odd as Corridor hasn’t actually performed a terrific deal. Not like many of the different Eagles’ free-agent signings, Corridor was not a excessive draft decide and was a UDFA in 2020. The one season he performed a good quantity of snaps was in 2022, and PFF graded him out very effectively. When taking a look at 2022 PFF knowledge and solely gamers who performed 10% of the snaps, Tyler Corridor’s numbers look good. He gave up 0.82 yards per protection snap which ranks thirty second out of 128. In 122 protection snaps, he gave up 9 receptions for 43 yards and the opposing QB’s passer ranking was 58.7, which is fairly good!

I had somewhat search on-line, and almost each Raiders fan I may discover was a giant fan of Tyler Corridor.

There’s a extremely good movie breakdown on-line that I like to recommend trying out if you wish to be taught much more about Corridor. You could find it right here! Every part I examine Corridor is optimistic, so I’m somewhat confused as to why he was accessible and hasn’t performed extra all through his profession. If any of you might have any extra info as to why he was accessible, please let me know within the feedback.

I’m guessing Tyler Corridor will compete with Isiah Rodgers. I’m glad the Eagles are giving themselves choices at slot cornerback, moderately than counting on one participant to begin.

WR DeVante Parker, 1-year deal.

It is a bizarre one and never one which excites me a terrific deal. Parker doesn’t separate effectively, and I can’t see him taking part in within the slot in any respect.

Nevertheless, typically you don’t need to separate to achieve success. I count on Parker to be an outside-the-numbers, contested catch form of man who will simply run go routes and comebacks and supply a couple of snaps to provide AJ Brown a relaxation now and again. I’m not satisfied he makes the crew on account of his harm historical past and up to date play, but when he does I believe he is an efficient choice on soar balls and within the pink zone.

Jalen Hurts throws a gorgeous deep ball and offers his exterior receivers an opportunity, so DeVante Parker would possibly be capable to do some bit extra of this.

DT PJ Mustipher, 1-year deal.

I’m not significantly within the signing of Mustipher, however I’m within the profile. I’ve been happening in regards to the Eagles’ entrance 7 being extraordinarily mild, and it appears apparent to me that the Eagles predict their inside defensive lineman to do a severe quantity of the heavy lifting within the run recreation to maintain the linebackers clear. I believe Mustipher indicators to that method, as he’s a giant man, and by no means athletic.

There’s nothing to see with Mustipher, as he was an undrafted rookie in 2023 and barely performed, however I believe it indicators that the Eagles are going depend on the defensive position to unencumber the linebackers, and I wouldn’t be shocked if we see the Eagles add one other nostril deal with. This was Mustipher’s scouting report through NFL.com:

Mustipher was a high-character chief for the Nittany Lions and brings good thickness to the place. He’s somewhat too gradual off the snap to create stress for blockers and fails to regulate the motion with drive or hand utilization. Mustipher’s below-average athletic profile and restricted affect on video games will make it tough for him to work his manner onto an NFL roster.

He seems to be like your generic space-eating nostril deal with, who will backup Jordan Davis if he does make the roster.

That’s all for this one of us, it’s almost time for draft rankings…
