Eagles Draft Thoughts (19 Days away)

[Rey]

Here are my final thoughts, because I'm all draft talked out and it's fishing season.....

1. I like Carson Wentz a lot! If the Eagles love him and they feel he is a franchise QB it is a no brainer you go up and get him.

2. If we stay at 8 I'm drafting Shaq Lawson....kids good and gonna be a very good NFL player.

3. I think anyone that says they don't secretly want Ezekiel Elliott is lying to themselves.

4. A Right tackle can be had in rd 3...We have a LT of the future we drafted him very high..Lane Johnson

5. I would not rule out a trade with the Titans we get 15 & 43 they get 8...makes sense for both clubs.
with #15 we select a CB. I prefer Mackensie Alexander, but also like what I see with Eli Apple so CB could be in play at 15.

I'm good with either Zeke or Lawson if we stay at 8. Huge fan of both players. Good with a trade up for Wentz as well and I don't think the asking price is too much if it really is what's reported. we knew we'd have to give up the 2017 first to move up that high ... but we would actually get to keep one of our 2 3rd's this year and instead give up the other 3rd in 2017.

Wentz would join a very young and talented group that can grow together. We're a great team for Wentz to excel at the next level as well. This would be a great situation as a young QB to come in and learn for a year. We have QB gurus in coaches and Chase Daniels who knows the offense and is pretty much a coach himself. Young weapons in Matthews/Agholor/Ertz/Randle, 3 longterm o-linemen in Kelce/Brooks/Lane. Wis could be retained as well if he plays good. Peters is here until he's not. Young defensive pieces everywhere too.

Ideally in this situation you find a trade partner for Sam Bradford and recoup some draft picks.

Bradford staying positive, despite QB draft rumors

I thought we had to give up both 3rds this year and our 3rd next year?

#8, 3rd rounder, 2017 1st and 3rd rounder sounds about right for #2 -- I'd do it for Wentz. Just for the record =). I already know which posters would not do it, so no need to get your panties in a bunch

So we gave up #8, 3rd, 4th, 2017 1st and 2018 2nd. We also get back a 4th. Pretty much the same deal. I'm a happy camper =)

So we keep one of our 3rds this season? I thought we gave up 8, both 3rds, and a 4th this season and our 1st and 2nd next season?

Yup

2016: We gave up #8 overall, one 3rd and a 4th.
2017: We gave up a 1st, and get back a 4th.
2018 We gave up a 2nd.

Oh shit. Then I'm friggin' doing the jig. Fantastic! I have no idea how I missed on this? Great deal although I'm going to dearly miss Zeke in Eagle green.

Yeah I know how bad you wanted Zeke, and I agree he's a monster, but what a great chance to land a potential franchise QB. Absolutely worth the risk IMO.

I pray that the Browns take him at 8 and he is gone by the Giants pick.
