Sounds like the Titans thought he was damaged goods at this point.

What a shocker. He had such glowing reports coming out of college.

Well...I'm sure the Eagles will get him to realize his true potential.

Dennis Kelly?



Who????

 

[The Q]

Dennis Kelly?



Who????

That was my question.

Titans basically just spent another pick on the OL.

why not at least get some depth at CB, LB or S where you could use some.

Dennis Kelly?



Who????

Maybe he was asked to do too much . . . but he's an offensive lineman that proved to be totally incapable of protecting the passer.

The Eagles traded away nothing for a lottery ticket. If DGB turns it around after coming to a new team, it's a great move. If he flakes out and never amounts to anything, he'll be released and the Eagles will have lost nothing. Good move on their part.

Well anything with the last name "Kelly" is automatic cut out of Philly!

 

[DJ]

This could very well turn out to be a steal for the Eagles.

He will be released and then picked up by Team Y. A fan of Team Y will then post on here about what a great pickup he is. He will then be released by Team Y and then...well...you get the point.

You're probably right. Lottery tickets usually lose. But if you get a chance to play the lottery for free, you might as well give it a shot.

Bullshit

Team Y doesn't need him, because Team Y has the best receivers ever. That one guy caught a touchdown last year, and they drafted another guy, and that undrafted rookie free agent looked really good in minicamp. And don't even get me started on the options at tight end!

It's very clear you are a bandwagon Team Y fan.

Ozzie Newsome does it with every Alabama reject. Drives me nuts. Hasn't worked yet.

"DGB" was going to be cut. So hopefully Philly gave back someone they too were going to be cut to make it a fair trade

unless the receiver they cut to keep him ends up better than him or unless he still can't learn how to run a pattern and cuts wrong and the result is a huge int that loses them the game, or unless they need to play an even worse OL than Kelly (they do have one OL out for most of the year and Peters is always a health question at this point) that gets there two remaining QBs hurt. Remember Philly's Offense is going to be totally different, maybe he'd be a better fit going forward?

IMO I think this is a good move by Philly to try it. The kid has talent. But, I just don't agree with the "lost nothing" comment. It's never that simple and DGB was beat out by guys last year that won't make the team this year. But, if I'm a Philly fan I'm dying to see this guy play in a preseason game and see if he can get his head screwed on right.

 

[The Q]

DGB has some intriguing metrics at least.

Getting absolutely nothing for him seems like yet another terrible move by a terrible franchise.

 

[Iggloo]

Dennis Kelly is a career backup OT, a former 5th rounder out of Purdue. It tells you something that he got traded even though Lane Johnson is getting suspended--he's garbage. Looked a little better at RG than RT IMO but has never looked like a starter.

That said, he is high character garbage, and his floor is higher than DGB's who may be out of football in another year.

Drafting him as high as they did seems like the worse move, jmo.
