Today's THE DAY

[Wings]

Per an Nfc team exec Mariota To the Eagles is a "Pipedream" reason being "Mariota is the real deal and Tampa and Tenn know it"

Yikes.... First comment made making me think Mariota is not so much a sure thing anymore.

 

[Iggloo]

There is a lot of smoke out there, I have no idea what to believe, reporters contradicting each other left and right.

My gut tells me: Chip will sell the farm if he has to but it will get done.

 

[Iggloo]

By the end of the night, we may have Mariota, Manziel, Tebow, and Sanchez on our roster.

Hard Knocks is going to be pushing hard for a Philly series.

No. 12 pick becomes key piece of Eagles-Titans deal | ProFootballTalk

 

[WIZ]

Getting Manziel would be a steal. He appears to be serious and could fetch a 2nd next year. Tennessee will cave eventually and I doubt they pick at 2.

 

[Iggloo]

Rumor is we are now trying to bypass Tennessee and go straight to Tampa.

Could Eagles be trying to get to No. 1? | ProFootballTalk

It's hard negotiate withink someone who thinks you have no other options

 

[Screamin Eagle]

I'm thinking there is a greater chance now that the Eagles get Mariotta but I'm thinking Mariotta slips to #3 and that is where the Eagles make the deal. Still, Chip worries me. You can only shoot from the hip so many times. This is Chip's defining moment. Lets get it on!

 

[WIZ]

6 would be where you trade to. Nobody wants Mariota except us.

 

[Iggloo]

I totally believe that other teams would make a move for Mariota if he started falling.

I still don't believe anything on the Mariota thing. I never thought it would happen and still think he will be the first overall pick. The good thing is 2 hours from now we will know.

Now to interrupt the Mariota stuff, the Eagles have been talking to Minnesota about pick 11, the guy who told me this is a media guy who I know in Minny, he said that it would only happen is Trae Waynes is not there because that is who Minny wants, and its most likely Kendricks or Boykin plus pick 20 and maybe a lower round pick. No idea who the Eagles want at 11.

Sounds like prep for a potential slide.

Sounds like prep for a potential slide.

Could be but I doubt it sounds like a team who thinks Sam Bradford is their QB and is looking to either get a receiver or I wouldn't doubt they go after a guy like Beasley (if he slides doubt it now though with Ray and Gregorys issues) or Bud Dupree.

I am pumped for tonight, we will see just how Chip runs a draft. I think we all are expecting him to be aggressive and decisive. However, what will we say if he just stays put at every pick and makes his pick. Doesn't trade a single player etc.?

 

[Wings]

Sal pal is on 97.5 fanatic said Tampa is drafting Winston, Eagles and Bears hot and heavy after Titans Pick.... says Eagles working at feverish pace to try and get a deal done

 

[Iron Eagle]

Working at a feverish pace? ....lol.

They're making phone calls.

 

[Funk]

No Mariota plz.

 

[NDIrishGuy]

Per CSN:

Chip Kelly: "The best fans in football." Eagles fans chanting "Do the Deal" at Chip

 

[DaEagles]

NO way he would get past the Jets...IF he's there for them they would take them.

 

[WIZ]

The Jets aren't taking a QB early again. Especially not one they have to train under center.

 

[Rey]

2 1sts, a 3rd and Fletcher Cox is what the Eagles are offering. That won't be enough.

 

[EKA]

Do the deal
