Episode notes
Johnny Mundt Is A Scheme Fit Blocking Tight End
- The Eagles added Johnny Mundt as a true blocking tight end to handle edge-setting and dirty work in-line with Sean Mannion's scheme.
- Mundt's career with McVay/Shanahan disciples and recent release from Jacksonville makes him a low-risk, scheme-fit veteran who won't affect comp pick formulas.
Two Tight Ends Create Clear Roles For Draft Flexibility
- Pairing Mundt with Grant Calcaterra gives the Eagles a clearer two‑role structure: a blocking specialist and a move/pass option rather than asking one player to do both.
- That structure lets the Eagles enter the draft knowing they can choose whatever type of tight end they want next weekend.
Draft A Dual Role Tight End If Room Stays Thin
- If the Eagles keep a thin tight end room, prioritize drafting a dual‑role or receiver‑first tight end to complement Mundt and Calcaterra.
- Fran recommends targeting someone like Sadiq in the draft rather than relying solely on current depth.
