2015 Eagles Draft Discussion

[PhillyPhreak54]

You like Agholor?

[ice grillin you]

yeah i do....id put him slightly behind phillip dorsett and perriman but id be happy with any one of them in the first round

[PhillyPhreak54]

I would love Perriman.

Odds they trade Cox or Kendricks?

Because if they do I may not survive the inevitable mental breakdown afterwards

[ice grillin you]

i cant even put odds on it....i honestly have no farging clue

all i know is if he deals either one it better be for mariota....not that i would support that deal but at least in theory you are getting a franchise qb....if he trades kendricks to move up five spots in the first round to take devante parker or some random non qb player then ill lose it

[PhillyPhreak54]

I have a bad feeling that he unloads him and Boykin

Add another name to the list of Eagles players who could be traded before, during, or after the NFL Draft.

According to a person with knowledge of the situation, but requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the matter, the Eagles could be looking to move last year's No. 1 pick, Marcus Smith.

"I don't think they'll flat out give him away,'' he said. "But if they can use him in a package to move up, I think they'll do it. I'm not just talking about the first round. They could use him in the second, or even third round, too.''

One scenario could have Smith perhaps going to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for linebacker Dion Jordan, with some picks, or other players, involved as well. Jordan, the Dolphins' 2013 first-round pick, has been a major disappointment.

If that were to happen it wouldn't be the first time the Eagles made a trade that involved two first-round picks that didn't work out. In 1999, the Eagles traded 1997 first-round pick defensive end Jon Harris to the Green Bay Packers for offensive lineman John Michaels, also a '97 first-round pick. The change of scenery didn't help either player.

You have to go back a little further to see the last time an Eagles first-round pick played just one season for the team. That would be 1994 first-round pick Bernard Williams, who was suspended for testing positive for marijuana use, and never returned to the league.

Smith was the 26th pick of last year's draft after the Eagles traded down from the 21st spot to select the linebacker from Louisville, who finished second in the nation in sacks in college with 14 1/2.

It was a rough rookie year for him, however, as he played on defense in just six of 16 games and was involved in a total of 68 defensive plays, or six percent of the defensive snaps. After playing 14 snaps in an easy win over Tennessee, Smith did not see the field on defense the final five games of the season.

When the Eagles selected Smith in the first round last year, considered a reach by many, they let it be known that there were teams picking later in the first and early in the second who would have taken him. If any of those teams are still interested he may be available.

It's Eckel so take it fwiw. If they could get a decent pick for him go for it, otherwise let it ride out and see what he has.

Why not offer Smith to the Browns for Manziel. They want to wash their hands with him. We need to keep this circus going.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Eckel is really going out on a limb with that one.

They'd trade Smith? Oh no shtein?

[Rome]

Haha right?

BREAKING: Eagles willing to accept draft picks for Brandon Bair

[Zanshin]

Ridiculous story. Stop the presses: Eagles might consider trading an under-performing disappointment if another team is stupid enough to make a deal. Duh.

[Diomedes]

Please god, trade him.  I'd be happy with a sandwich and a juice box.

[Geowhizzer]

Please god, trade him.  I'd be happy with a sandwich and a juice box.

My daughter says that's not enough.  She's holding out for chicken nuggets.
