I could see the Browns waiting until the 2nd to grab Cook.

 

As much as I don't really understand the move for Goff/Wentz, moving up to get Elliot would be 1000x more idiotic.

 

so the trade, as of now, reads:

EAGLES GET:

2016 1st (2nd overall)
2017 4th

EAGLES TRADE:
Byron Maxwell
Kiko Alonso
2016 1st (8th overall)
2016 3rd (77th overall)
2016 4th (100th overall)
2017 1st
2018 2nd

 

Doing it with 8 days until the draft makes me wonder if something is in the works on Bradford being moved.

 

They aren't depleted of talent. Not saying that. I just feel like they're a team with no direction. Everyone offseason is a circus. It's hard to field a competitive team when the front office is constantly flipping players.

 

Same reason the Titans did it. Its a value you like (not sure you can get more, honestly), and you dont want the team getting cold feet. Or the trade potential leaking, fans shitting all over it, and the team backing out.

Also, this. Eagles want it done today so they have 8 days to move Bradford. Cause if he's not gone on draft day, this stupid idea because WAY stupider.

 

With how crappy the East is, they could easily finish 7-9 and win the damn thing. But I only see them winning 5-6 games.

 

Well that'll happen when you have a diva GM and three coaches in five years.

 

Fuck no. lol

 

How many years in a row now will the Browns have 2 first round picks? 3 of the last 4 by 2017?

 

I've thought this as well.

 

I don't get this at all. I don't think there is any QB in this draft worth giving up that much.

 

It would be a total Browns thing to do though ahaha.

 

@AdamSchein Howie turns Maxwell and Kiko into a franchise QB in Carson Wentz. Wow. Magic. Harry Houdini meets Ozzie Newsome. #FlyEaglesFly

lmao

 

Bradford dealt to Denver ? That's the move that would make the most sense.

 

Well, it is 420

 

Ad

what a dolt that guy is

 

Fun times to be a Philly sports fan, where the offseasons are exponentially more exciting than the actual seasons.

 

and both are equally disappointing.

 

Such a terrible but so accurate statement :(

 

But its gonna become

EAGLES GET:
2015 5th (145th overall)
2016 1st (2nd overall)
2016 4th Rounder (maybe they pull a 3rd out of a desperate Texans or Broncos team)
2017 4th

EAGLES TRADE:
Nick Foles
Sam Bradford
Byron Maxwell
Kiko Alonso
Demarco Murray
2015 4th (119 overall)
2016 1st (8th overall)
2016 2nd (43rd overall)
2016 3rd (77th overall)
2016 4th (100th overall)
2017 1st
2018 2nd

edit: Forgot that pick 100 this year is from the Demarco trade, so, adding that in

 

I guess the Brown don't even think Goff/Wentz are worth picking at #2.

 

As an Eagles fan and as much as I hate that this happening, I'm actually excited to see how it all plays out.

 

don't worry, this is me as a Dolphins fan too
