Will Chip Kelly trade up?

If osu wins the national championship it will be mariota who? Tennessee and tampa could reload draft picks and skip to next yrs draft for their qb.

Evidently Tampa was willing to trade up for a QB before they got to the top pick so I cannot imagine them trading out of it. I expect Tennessee to at least attempt to get an RGIII type deal for the #2 pick although I doubt Philadelphia will be one of the teams in on that conversation. Foles is not great but is decent and still young and like Arizona I doubt the Eagles collapse if he was in there

Foles looked worse than Sanchez this season.

doubt it, apparently Kelly doesn't value the QB position that high (he believes he can make a winner out of anyone) and would rather keep his picks

What if foles was packaged in the deal. Someone said he sucked but weren't the eagles 8-3 with him as a starter this year? I would love love love the bucs picking Mariotta. He's not a pro qb. Winston has much more potential he just needs to grow up. Hopefully lovie and crew don't figure that out. Draft Winston let him sit for a year, maybe two to learn the nfl and grow up while they are rebuilding and he can be a good starter for a long time

I think if they don't get rid of foles, it's only for competition reasons and to have a good back up QB, if they get Mariota. And I agree with sitting Winston, but if you take him in Tampa, do you really let him sit behind glennon, or let him compete in training camp for the spot?

People keep saying it will take a 'Redskins - RG3' type deal but if Tennessee thinks Branford can be their franchise QB , shouldn't they be willing to trade the #2 pick for him, straight up? Could be the plan.

That would be an awful trade.

That would be an awful trade.

Why? For who? I assume you mean for the Titans. Are you confident Mariota is going to be a better QB than Bradford?
