SBorBust Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 It looks like picks 6-8 are pretty weak. TRADING DOWN with someone who wants QB seems to be a very real possibility. Then you can get someone like Surtain/Farley PLUS a 2nd round pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Without knowing how the board shakes out ahead of our pick, it does seem like that potentially could be the best scenario. This team needs as much young talent (on cheap rookie contracts) as possible. But the most important thing is, we absolutely need to hit on some elite talent - we need a difference-maker with one of our top picks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkmsn Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I don't mind trading down if it's safe and we still land the guy (or one of the guys) we want. I'd prefer to end up with Surtain, but Farley if Surtain is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Given where we are drafting I think there's a lot of options on the table. We could trade down and pick up some extra picks (and my god don't we need that). We could trade up if there is a stud player we absolutely love but I very much doubt we will. As others have said staying put comes down to how the board shakes out ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philafan4o8 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 More picks clearly means nothing to this team. I don’t give a damn what they do (trade up, trade down, or stay put) but their first pick must be a hit! I think they should stay put if one of the two WRs are still on the board. If they are both gone, then trading back might be the best move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaeagle2 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 i just hope picks from round 1 thru 4 can make a huge impact on playing time which means they were a hit pick. the rest of the picks make the rotation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 No. This team lacks star players. Best chance to land one is at #6. 12 hours ago, UK_EaglesFan89 said: Given where we are drafting I think there's a lot of options on the table.

I’d be getting Miami on the phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can trade down 3-4 spots and pick up a second and still pick up Surtain/Farley that would be a big win. We can then potentially add interior OL and another D player in the early second (we have needs all over the D). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-1000 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I would look at a 6 / 9 swap with Denver who is probably going to want a QB. If you can get a couple of teams bidding on the pick to get a Zach Wilson you might make out really well and still get the same guy you wanted at 6. Based on the trade value chart a 2 for that swap is too much, but a 3 isn't enough so maybe you get a 3 and a 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentwo Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 DET CAR DEN all might want to trade up a couple spots. That could net a third and only drop the Eagles down a few spots. Especially if Chase/Smith/Surtain/Farley would still be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20dawk4life Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Trade Wentz and Hurts for first round picks. Have 3 firsts. Draft a qb, wr, and OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judunno Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 We may not have a choice but to trade down. We're going to have to field a lot of young guys as we watch Howie get out of cap hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As nice as it would be to get the top shiny new WR, this team is not even close to one player away. We have a ton of holes and where we don’t have holes we have aging players. I’d even be open to trading down 3-4 spots twice to end up around pick 14-15 and pick up 2 extra second round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be worse then us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
