Deal!

[Don Ho]

well maybe the eagles can trade up and not take him.

HA!

Just throwing this out there for discussion, seen it posted on a few other discussion forums.

Would you be willing to part with pick #22 for Dion Jordan. He didn't have a great rookie season and doesn't fit into the defensive scheme Miami wants to run. On the one hand he played for Chip and would benefit from the Eagles defensive style of play, on the other hand he could just be a bust. I know they had interest in drafting him before Miami traded up for him. This is a deep draft and some teams like the Browns do the smart thing and get what they can for players that no longer fit (Richardson is a bust). A part of me would like to chance it, another part would like to see where the chips fall in the draft.

in this draft id seriously consider it...its really weak

but im hesitant because i want kelvin benjamin so bad at 22

I'd make that trade in a second.

[QB Eagles]

I'd give it serious consideration. Miami will probably want more than the 1st rounder though, if they are even open to the trade. They have to save face on trading up to take him #3 overall. Luckily that deal was done by the last GM. Miami would be looking at a cap hit, also.

[Diomedes]

Yeah, I've read about that too.  Some beat writer in Miami got it started.  The fact that he played at Oregon is, hopefully, irrelevant.  It it's not, the team is in trouble.  The idea is intriguing and all, but my gut feeling is that Jordan wasn't worth the reach and isn't worth another 1st rounder.  I'd keep the pick.

Now, if Miami really wants to move him....how about the Eagles send Brandon Graham and a third.

[Rome]

He's worth a 22nd pick.

Yards/Points graph.

Including 2013 Denver in that chart is like including 1945 in charts of the size of the US military.

New GM might not care if the player doesn't fit his scheme. The Eagles could throw a player like Graham in. He doesn't hold much value but at least they'd be getting a guy who fits their scheme better and could benefit from a change of scenery.

I'm on the D bandwagon but if he's there at 22 I can't see passing him up. He's exactly what they need on O.

Bill Musgrave was hired to be the QB coach according to roob on twitter

[PhillyPhreak54]

ex-Eagles and Vikes OC?

Keep him far far away from anything that has to do with playcalling and game plan install

[MDS]

pretty sure chip would keep his own kin away from that.

[ice grillin you]

do they really even need a qb coach with nick foles manning the position
