Philly. They have the extra 1st round pick and the cap space and they will be considered a contender next season.

Washington could also be in the mix but I'm not sure if they are going to be willing to give up as much as other teams.

Other possibles would be Miami, Houston, Denver (though the coaching change may lower those chances), Green Bay and maybe Jacksonville.

My money would be on Philly though.

Philly is too prudent with their draft picks to give up a first. I wouldn't want it either being as it's in the late 20's. I wouldn't mind a trade with Houston though. A mid round 1st plus a 3rd and a 5th would seal the deal if you ask me.

Oh yeah, they never trade their 1st round picks...are you forgeting about last year's draft.

To be honest I would hate for Pep to end up in Philly. But even Panther fans cannot argue how great that Jim Johnson defense would be with Pep. If the shoe was on the other foot I would want to trade for Pep and place him in that style of defense.

yea and look what they got in return for that mid late first round pick. exactly they would probably want to give us our first rounder back and us give them like our 5th rounder.

We won't send him to any teams we play next year. So, no NFC East or AFC East.

I agree to that to an extent. It really all boils down to who makes the best offer though. I don't see them taking a 2nd round pick from Houston and passing on a 1st and 3rd from Philly just because we play Philly once next season.

Now trading him to a division rival is completely out of the question.

Yeah I would have to say Philly has the advantage with 2 first rounders but philly front office can be cheap at times.

I really don't think Houston will do it but we have the money under the cap but doubt if they want to give up a first rounder to seal the deal. How about Travis Johnson DT, Sage Rosenfel QB, CC Brown FS and and 2nd rounder?:D I think our new DC would be a good reason for Pep to look hard at houston.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Did we take over a thread about who you'd take #1 by having a debate on who you'd take #1? Basically you still don't want to answer my question, probably because your answer would be either T-Mac like myself, or Hunter, which taking a CB #1 overall is even crazier on the surface than what you're saying I'm stupid for in wanting a WR there. As I've said before, it's a season without a traditional clear top pick(s).  It would be great if we could trade back if we got #1, but if not, there's nothing wrong with taking a truly elite WR and build out our roster correctly for once instead of always trying to find the quick fix and it backfiring.

      I just thought of an interesting comparison for what I'm arguing with taking T-Mac and how to build up to hopefully being a contender. The mid 2000's Arizona Cardinals In 2003 they took Anquan Boldin early in the 2nd, kinda a decent comp for Legette with style of play and being more of an elite #2 than a true outside #1 (they also took a WR in the 1st too who didn't pan out). In 2004 they took Larry Fitzgerald #3 overall, the true outside #1. Their QB's at the time, Jeff Blake and Josh McCown The QB they passed on to take Fizgerald, Philip Rivers. They were in the Super Bowl a few years later after they found their QB in Warner to slot into an already built out roster of elite weapons. Cam, you asked how it would look if we passed on a QB who pans out for a WR, well, do you think the Cardinals regret taking Fitz over Rivers?  I highly doubt it. Our roster is more than one offseason away from contending.  I'm not looking for the quick fix because there isn't one with the state of this franchise at the moment, I'm looking to contend for a decade. I don't think a QB in this draft class is good enough to take 1st overall with everything else we still need.  My next preference would be an elite pass rusher, but again, I don't see one of them in this draft either. My personal bias aside, I very honestly think T-Mac is the most can't miss offensive prospect in this draft (Hunter would be that on defense).  He is the WR we've been trying to get since we lost Smitty.   Brooks, T-Mac, Legette, Coker/FA, Sanders would have the potential to be one of the best offensive weapon sets in the NFL.  Sure, hopefully we could hit on a superstar QB in the next draft, but even if not, if those guys pan out, with them all are in their prime together, we wouldn't need a Mahomes or Allen to contend, we'd only need to find our Jared Goff. and spend all our FA money the next couple offseason on Defense.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      Competent QBs can read defenses presnap, see where their best matchups are and already know where they're going with the ball. Then have good footwork with fast fundamentally sound dropbacks. See the field well and decisive with their decisions on where to go with the ball. And an NFL caliber arm, get the ball out quickly and deliver it with velocity. Bryce can do none of these things.
