Eagles 2016 Draft

[Eagaholic]

On the other hand this is in direct opposition to Cleveland team luck since they need a QB and passed up on Wentz/Goff, so there is that. Which jinx will prevail?

[General_Failure]

A quarterback class so bad even the team that drafts every quarterback is passing on it? I'm sold!

NFL Network is replaying the first rounds of the last several years and they're up to 2015.  The 2014 was on previously and I actually got pissed off a second time after they picked Marcus Bust III and passed on Kelvin Benjamin. 

I hate this team so much I want to grudge farg it.

I was more pissed they didn't trade up a few spots for Ha Ha

[Don Ho]

I made the same mistake watching some of those drafts from the past.  Made me feel a little better as there were numerous teams that were as brain dead as the birds. 

[Don Ho]

this is turning into such a hot mess I have a dream they trade down and get some 2nd and 3rd rounders this year and next.

Such an underwhelming draft this year.

Roob & Gunner annihilate Bradford's temper tantrum here.  I actually cracked up when Gunn started talking to "Sam" directly.

So stupid, all of this.

i get the whole be a professional thing with Bradford and be happy with all your money but at the same time two seconds after he signed witht he eagles they go out and get the head coaches ex qb who he loves and trade the farm for a young qb...so while couch potato eagle spokesman/fan roob might not get it and wanna scream at Bradford for being a baby hes still a man who was probably told certain things but saw actions that went against everything he was being told and now basically feels like he has zero place or support currently on this team much less in the future...i mean think about this....come Thursday at around 830 pm Bradford is going to be doug pedersons third favorite qb on the roster....this is not really the way you want your supposed starting qb to feel

i think Howie being a non personable nerd learning from banner all those years often forgets that these are human beings hes dealing with not just commodities and in this case it has created a little bit of a mess

[SD]

Or maybe Howie had no idea he'd be able to move up to #2 for Wentz and did his best with what he had at the time. Keep in mind, Bradford made the decision to sign BEFORE free agency started. He signed a short term deal meaning all bets are off regarding a future with the team. I hope he's traded, the $11 million cap hit is irrelevant. The problem is compensation, they're probably not getting more than a 3rd for him so why even bother trading him.

[smeags]

if they can get a 2nd I'd pounce on it. hopefully the broncos, jets or some other team wants to offer that up but not sure. closer to the draft the better I guess.

[Sgt PSN]

Absolutely nothing had changed for Bradford since signing his deal. He's still on essentially a 1 yr deal and is playing for a big payday.

I don't care how much or how little he's making. Stfu and do your job.

[QB Eagles]

If Bradford really believes in his own talent like he claims he has all these years, I don't understand what he thinks the threat is. If he plays like a top 10 QB in 2016, the team either lets him play out his contract with an option to stay if Wentz isn't developing, or ships him off somewhere willing to pay him big bucks long term.

Of course if he really thinks he's going to continue putting up mediocre performances, then he should be worried. Maybe that's the issue here.

I guess the one valid complaint would be that by trading up for a QB the Eagles aren't improving the talent around Bradford, but that probably wasn't going to be the case even if they kept their old picks. They've been drafting WRs high every year and the talent level has not improved, and it wasn't a sure thing another WR or an O-lineman who could come in and start right away was in the cards anyway.

lololol what?

for beginners theres no guarantee he starts week 1 which has to concern him and his agent as far as a future payday...i have to believe if its even close in camp Pederson is giving the job to daniel...and while i don't think its likely if wentz blows up in the preseason and whoever the starter is opening day has a rough week or two then you have the entire city coming down on Daniel or Bradford and calling for wentz....and who the hell knows what this administration will do then...again i don't think it will happen but would it shock me if Pederson/Howie/lurie tried out wentz at some point next year....hell farging no it wouldnt

basically Bradford went from unequivocal no brainer starting qb when he signed to now fighting for the starting job with a qb who is a favorite of his head coach and who they paid massive "back-up" qb money for and having a rookie qb who they paid a shtein ton for breathing down his neck

you can say you think Bradford will be the starter this season but you are insane if you don't think anything has changed since he signed
