Joe Pisapia· May 10, 2026
Pisapia said Malik Willis' rushing volume should push him into the top-12 among quarterbacks, planted his flag on Emeka Egbuka and Makai Lemon as values at their current prices, bought Alec Pierce as a WR3, and said A.J. Brown is on his way out of Philadelphia.
“I'm just going to say it just kind of plant the flag that I'm meke Buka because of what I did see in the early going with Baker Mayfield can be great.”
