Traveler Vic Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Having a valuable high pick, Eagles will face a phylosophical decision of whether to draft for immediate impact, or to Rebuild the team. Odds are we will stay put and pick either a CB, WR, or a best available player. However I am in the camp, arguing that we have many positions that need upgrading and it would be more prudent to trade back and obtain multiple picks. I would rather have a combination of 3 second round picks than a single high draft pick. For example a second round CB, S , and a Tackle...may be a lot better for rebuilding the team than just a single player. Of course it is all argumentative, but I wish to know what everyone thinks. (Of course I know that Howie is still here) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weko Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 premium positions only this high. QB, CB, LT, DE or trade down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwide Schrude Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Too early to decide. Depends on how the board falls & what kind of trade proposals they could get. If future 1sts and/or 2nds are on the table, it’d be really hard to say no. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right4thePicking Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 No further than 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 If we can move back to around 8 or 9 because someone needs a QB, we can still get a starting CB. If we want a starting interior OL in the first round, we can trade back a lot further. We need to get a starting CB, safety, center or guard and maybe a LB out of this draft plus a decent RB (why did we not take Benny Snell in the 4th last year?) so we need an extra draft pick or two in the first three rounds. We may get one for Ertz, or just a comp pick the following year, but trading down could an extra early pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentwo Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Trade down only if it is to one of the next three teams. If not, take a top skill position WR/CB player around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzBirdGang Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I would only trade back a few spots. You could still get Surtain or Smith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if we had traded Ertz last offseason as I was pushing for, we’d have have plenty of firepower and we would have lost nothing this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infam Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Not going to give a blanket answer. Who is available at 6, and what do we get trading down how far? All depends in my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimm Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 What does it matter? This team can't draft. Howie will try to outsmart everyone by Skipping on Chase and picking up a 3rd rd talent. Then we will be told how the whole division was after said pick so they had to make the move just like every other year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 They may actually see an opportunity to trade up. I'm not saying they will or that they should but they may do. If they don't think Wentz is the answer long term then they might see this as the time to move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Get the best player you can at 6. I don’t want to see Howie try to outsmart everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Trade down. Everyone who seems to be against trading down may not understand the nuances involved with having the #6 overall. It's quite different than having a standard 1st round pick later on in the draft. For example, the Eagles could work multiple trades and get a plethora of quality picks in return. They could trade down 2 spots at a time and gain 2nd round picks each time. That's how valuable that 6th overall pick is. So if they were to do something like that, they could conceivably have an additional 3-4 2nd round picks + a few mid round picks just by trading down 1-3 spots at a time, down to 12-13. AND still draft a sure-fire stud with the 12th pick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 TATE: They have to lose to get the 6th pick! ALSO TATE: Trade the 6th pick to move back! Trading back would be stupid. You don’t get a pick this high very often, unless you’re a garbage franchise like the Jets. In particular when you have a **** GM like Howie, you need him picking as high as possible to reduce the bust potential of his pick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathByEagle Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Why does everyone think that another team will even want to move up to our spot? And is willing to give up the price to get there? It takes two to tango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblah Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 i think we need to trade down and then probably trade down some more. i think we need a Oline heavy draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesfanfromND Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Don't matter with Howie making the picks but to answer the question you need to see how the first 5 picks play out, whose there to be had, what kind of trade offers are on the table.

Madriver Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Last time we had a pick close to this high we made several trades to nab Wentz. I could see us doing something similar, except trading back to acquire a lot more 2nd-3rd rounders. One blue chip player in the first is not anywhere near to solving all this team's issues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
