Eagles trade for #2 pick

Rams gave up 2016 1, 2, 2, 3; 2017 1, 3

Eagles gave up 2016 1, 3, 4; 2017 1; 2018 2

Timing of the picks makes a difference. The 2 being in 2018 makes it far less valuable than a 2 in 2016.

Let's just agree that the Titans, and Browns got a hell of a haul.

Watching teams like that trade everything including the kitchen sink to move up for a QB make it even more bewildering that so many fans here tried for so long to run Cam Newton out of town. Even in an MVP season there were still people waiting for him to make a mistake. It's a good time to be a Panthers fan.

Awesome trade for the Browns. I can't wait to see how they screw it up.

That's funny, but there's a new sheriff in town. I think they will be fine as long as the owner actually allows the management to stay around for more than a couple of minutes.

Bradford got 2 years, 35 million. 22 guaranteed.

Chase Daniel got 3 years, 21 million. 12 guaranteed.

Now, they're taking Carson Wentz who will eventually start...and can't cut the other two for at least a year....all the while giving up a ton of picks including next year's 1st. 

 

Oh, Iggles.

So happy I'm not an Eagles fan.

Over the past 2-3 years they've destroyed their team. Chip gutted the team of all their talent. Then they fire him. Then they pawn off the little talent that he was able to bring in. Now they are giving away all their picks for Carson Wentz (after giving 2 QBs decent contracts earlier this offseason). 

Limited talent. No picks. Rookie QB.

They will garner a few picks by trading Bradford (that's if they go QB).

And the North Dakota kid from the Missouri Valley Conference goes to that @hole market to boot.  Poor kid.

This is great for the Browns because they would have screwed up the #2 pick for sure, but now they get to move down and take some of the pressure off.  #8 is a great position to be picking at because there's still usually a player that's basically just as good as the top pick but he's just not as scrutinized.  As a GM, you can look like a genius making a great pick there, whereas in the first couple of picks, you have to get it right or you're an idiot.

Ronnie Stanley!  Then we work a trade for Joe Thomas and/or they give us some of that newfound currency by giving it to us to get to 30 for Lynch/Cook.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
