Eagles 2016 Draft

Maybe because that was the best deal they could make to get rid of Maxwell. A better question would be, why would you believe anything a GM type says about their draft plans shortly before the draft?

[Butchers Bill]

not sure why anyone thought otherwise...why would you trade up just to trade back

Well, it happened in the movie "Draft Day".  Maybe Howie watched it during his sabbatical.

he could have instead gotten an extra mid round pick that held equal value...clearly he wanted to move up into the top ten

[Eagaholic]

Nobody knows that but the deal makers involved. Howie may just have found more value in the pick swap than what else Mia would offer later, we just don't know.

FYI:  According to the draft chart that everyone loves, the Eagles received the equivalent of the 68th pick in the draft (250 point difference between 8 & 13).

So, in effect, they got a higher first and third rounder for a lower first and two absolute slugs, one with a rubber knee and the other with a huge contract and no heart.

Howie WIN.

what?

they got a higher first and a higher fourth for the three players

[Rome]

Miami got their #13, Alonso & Maxwell.

The Eagles got #8 and the difference between #8 & #13 which is 250 points on the draft chart.  250 points on the draft chart is the equivalent of the 68th pick or the fourth pick in the third round if there are no supplemental picks in the first or second.

I honestly can't tell if you are insane or trolling

[Eagles_Legendz]

You're double dipping with the math Rome. 

They didn't get a higher first AND and third rounder for Maxwell/Alonso and 13. 

They got the higher first, which means Maxwell and Alonso were valued at approximately an early third round pick.

[Rome]

That's exactly what I meant.  IGY was saying those two were worth a fourth round pick which, according to the draft chart, is incorrect.

The teams swapped ones.  The Eagles gave up Maxwell & Alonso for 250 points in draft value which is equivalent to the 68th pick in the draft.

IGY was saying those two were worth a fourth round pick which, according to the draft chart, is incorrect.

no igy did not say that...

they got a higher first and a higher fourth for the three players

[Rome]

And you were wrong about the value of the difference between #8 & #13.

It's 250 points which, again, for the fourth time, is the equivalent of the 68th pick in the draft or the fourth pick in the the third round.

And you were wrong about the value of the difference between #8 & #13.

you sure about this?...I posted on the board two days ago what the swap is worth according to the chart

anyway jimmy johnson came up with that chart in the early 90's....its outdated...I mean I look at its a cool guide but not a single team in the nfl uses it

tenn would not have traded a third for him put it that way....probably why the original reports were that the trade was the 8 for 13 swap AND a 4th....most likely it was 8 for 13 OR a 4th and reporters in a rush to be first on twitter got it wrong

[Rome]

I would have traded Alonso and Maxwell for the cap relief alone.  I don't think Maxwell is terrible on a good defense but he quit last year and for that reason alone I'd boot his ass.  I don't really blame him for quitting either.  Just saying you can't have sulkers on the team like that.  Bad for morale. 

Alonso is plain shot.  He was one of Scwartz's guys too and even so they shipped him out.  What does that say for the guy?

[ice grillin you]

I don't disagree with any of that except I think kiko can still be a productive linebacker if not a great one...at least i would have liked to have found out since hes so cheap and young...but im assuming because of that he needed to be included to get the trade done and im fine with that as well
