Posted 14 hours ago14 hr Dust has somewhat settled, Draft is around the corner.Had a wild one in mind with the Eagles trading AJ to the Ravens during the first round of the draft but then I saw a lot of reports on X, well rumors actually, and the Edelman clip in which he asked AJ "we’re all Patriots, right?!”. I believe that a post June 1 deal between the Eagles and Patriots is about done, a gentlemen’s agreement is already in place.Re-sign;Marcus Epps, BGNew contract;Jalen CarterFA;Couple of depth signings, maybe a vet offensive linemanTrade alert!Eagles trade AJ Brown to the New England Patriots for a 1st and a 4th round pick in 2027 and receiver Kayshon BoutteEagles trade Tanner McKee to the New Orleans Saints for a 4th rounder in 2027 which could become a 3rd if certain targets are met.Draft;Trade alert!Eagles trade #23 an #122 to the Carolina Panthers for #191 Olaivavega Ioane, OG, Penn State2 Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State;3 Jalon Kilgore, S, South Carolina;3 Drew Shelton, OT, Penn State;4 Malik Benson, WR, Oregon;5 Carson Beck, QB, Miami;5 Jack Endries, TE, Texas;6 Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama.

With it could be pre-draft, but such is life. Wonder if they could skirt the rules - cal it two trades. Something out of the box like Sidney Brown for a 2026 1 executed now and then AJ for Boute posat-June 1. What's your thinking on New Orleans trading for McKee. They are happy with their starter. A good back up is a luxury for a contender which they aren't. Some comments on the draft. The trade is great, I'd do it in a heartbeat.I think you took DDS a round earlier than you had to. I'd go OT Miller in the 2nd and DDS at 68. Love Kilgore - probably starts mid-seasonBenson is a new name on this forum. I like his measurables, but here's the info I have - Walters 7th round,profootballnetwork 4th, drafttek 7th, ESPN 7th, pfofootballfocus UDFA, and the athletic 5th. As you can see the draft boards go from 4th to UNFA. Beck, Endries, and Jackson are all guys I think can be vaule picks - nice job.
4 hours ago4 hr BTW - some of our compadres on the forum would prefer Taylor Rapp to Epps. I'd be good with that, what do you think?

Saints have Shough and Rattler as QB’s and I don’t see options for them to upgrade in the draft. You’re forgetting Kellen Moore is their HC. Can’t hurt to bring in another arm.Tired of the AJ saga. Guess he’s gone but we’ll probably have to wait a little longer for a definitive answer. Played his last down here.There are only a handful of blue chip prospects in this class. Styles, Mauigoa, Downs, Sadiq, Love and Loane IMO.If Loane falls past the Ravens at #14 and into that #15 to #20 range I truly believe Howie will be working the phones.I’d be okay with Rapp btw
