Eagles trade with Browns to move up to #2 overall

[Orchid]

I watch the entire Eagles presser. If NFL network replays it is worth the watch. Some highlights:

• They think both QBS can/will be all pros.
• They seem to know they will get their guy ....Wentz
• Made the move because they do not see themselves inside the top 10
• They believe in investing in the QB position
• They do not see quality QBs being available from college or free agency the next 2-3 years
• They are comfortable starting Bradford this year and next

Welcome to Whose Draft Pick Is It Anyways?
Where the order is made up and projections don't matter.

Nice try, but that's from 2012.

lmao.

I just saw this on the ESPN scroll.

The Browns aren't this stupid are they? They must really be banking on RG-ME learning how to well.......pass the ball in the pocket.

To give up Goff/Wentz is funny. Must think they'll have a shot at a different QB next year. Don't see it.

That said, Iggles need a non-fragile QB behind Bradford. Unless they trade Sammyboy. To who, I have no idea. But that's a lot of starting caliber QB talent to have on roster between Sam/Daniel/Draft-pick.

1) The Browns very well may be this stupid.

2) It's possible that they have Lynch rated nearly as high, just needing more development time, and figure they can trade back up in front of the 49ers and probably get him still, while racking up a bunch of picks still.

Of course it is. Just having a little fun.

Add to that the Eagles moving up from 13 to 8. Granted that was two players and no picks but they really gave up a lot to move up from 13.

I feel vindicated after all the guff I took suggesting the Browns wouldn't take a QB at 2 and would be smart to trade down.

Just looked at his twitter page. That's not real.

It's from 3-4 years ago. People are retweeting some of his older stuff as a joke.

So in other words, exactly what the Rams think. Minus the Sam Bradford part.

I'm just upset there's no longer hope of a trade down to #2

Unless we can convince the Eagles were taking Wentz at 1 and that there gonna have to move up one more time to get there man. The rams could have pulled a fast one on them and lied telling them they were gonna take Goff so the eagles would trade up and then suddenly have a change of heart:mrburnsevil:

Need to find the Eagles famous YouTube contributor for his reaction to this.

But there's nothing left to get that'll help this year. I guess they could get a future pick but that probably wouldn't help much and a bit of a stretch

I agree have to be happy as a Rams fan. Those calculations dont even include Maxwell and Alonso who they used to move up from 13 to 8. They gave up a ton of their own assets. Whereas the Rams used many assets they got from other teams like the Eagles second and potentially the Janoris compensatory pick.

You know looking at this and considering we moved from 15 to 1 I don't think our deal is too bad.

the legion of Doom just got sadder

In the least weird way possible: I love your statistics.

I always sit and think i might work out this sort of thing, but I'm too lazy haha. Then @flv always takes one for the team and works it out, you da real MVP :bow:

 

[DaveFan'51]

They gave up more than we did for half the jump.

It's pretty close, but, in the long run, I think your right!

 

[RamBall]

Looks like another off-season blind side trade for SB.
