Eagles 2014 Draft

[Rome]

How about a list of the last 6 guys picked at 22:

Desmond Trufant
Brandon Weeden
Anthony Costonzo
Demaryius Thomas
Percy Harvin
Felix Jones

Seriously, go up.  Yeah, the Eagles have farged up royally in the past but they seem to have their shtein together now in terms of talent evaluation in the early rounds, so why not?

Also - I would agree that the more players you pick should give you a better shot at hitting on them but I'd rather go after a sure(r) thing high than a bunch of fallers in later rounds.

I guess it depends on how snugly you feel with Howie's team of talent guys.  If you're confident in them hitting on later picks, then by all means hope for them to trade back.  I'm not quite there yet, though.

having good football people in your PP dept is a reason not to trade up imo....if you strongly believe in your evals then the more picks you have the better

im by no means against trading up in the right scenario...i love power moves...and as the draft unfolds maybe something will present itself whereits justified....but as we sit here now i think this year presents a really strong case to not trade up....you have the fewest picks youve had in a decade a roster that has glaring holes and poor depth and are facing the deepest draft in a long time....to me that says acquire picks not trade them away

[Rome]

I don't want to give the results away but let's just say Jay voted for a certain someone on this list at least 1,400 times.

Hahaha nice

[QB Eagles]

Pulling Seth Joyner and Clyde Simmons in the 8th and 9th round of the farging terrible 1986 draft has got to be the Eagles biggest draft coup ever.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Seth should be in the HOF

[Eagles_Legendz]

I'm for trading up if Evans gets beyond #10.  I realize the draft is deep at WR but I think he's going to be special.

[Rome]

What if Teddy B falls to them at 22?  I know Folezzzzz is the next Joe Montana and all, but damn, someone is gonna be getting a special player if the "experts" are right about him pulling an Aaron Rodgers.   I might think about it.

would be unfathomable to me to take another pocket qb there....if chip wanted to upgrade the position by adding mobility and having a different look than foles then i could see

[Rome]

What if they traded Foles for a first and still got Teddy?

Also - aren't you the same guy who would have sold your soul to the farging devil to get him six months ago?

[ice grillin you]

yeah i think hes gonna be really good and i like him a lot....but that doesnt change the fact that the pick itself wouldnt make much sense

even in that trade scenario it doesnt make much sense...im a wait and see guy on foles but still one great nfl year > zero great nfl years

can you imagine the limb youd be putting yourself out on by trading a guy that just went 28td/2int for an unproven rookie who slipped in the draft

[Rome]

Probably a limb similar to the one where you cut a 27 year-old wide receiver coming off a 1,300 yard/10 td career year?

side note: were any of you guys the ten people that watched jackson on the arsenio hall show ?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Arsenio Hall has a show?! Is this 1989?

If Teddy B drops to the Eagles pick then they should be looking to trade out of that spot with a team like Houston who will want to get back into the 1st for a QB

apparently ... i thought he was dead.
