To me, that's not even up for debate. 9 hours ago, Outlaw said: But so does: 6 Ja’marr Chase WR 38 Asante Samuel Jr CB I’d rather Chase but Smith is a good consolation prize. Chase and Samuel Jr should be filed in the topic if the EMB drafted the players. These would be great picks and address arguably our biggest 2 needs. But we would be shocked if Howie actually took those 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've been out of the game for a long time, but I've exercised what we could be looking at plenty of times and if he doesn't go a very similar way ... no, I won't be surprised. What am I thinking? Maybe this is why I got their f'ing picks wrong every year. Think I was right in the 1st round maybe twice in 8 seasons.

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) Talk about making the point of a post moot with the cold, hard truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sack that QB Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Trading down, with some exceptions are usually for teams who want as many picks as soon as possible. If you're content with building slowly and methodically(which most teams should be) then there is never a need to trade down unless you absolutely don't like anyone on the board at all. Where has it ever been said that you need to draft as many players and fill as many holes as soon as possible? The goal is to fill them correctly. If it takes 4 years, it takes 4 years. I'd virtually never trade down and almost always trade up. Go up, get the guys you think are impact guys, and build your team slowly. Everyone's afraid to suck in the NFL or be mediocre for a couple years. Rushed rebuilds are wrong rebuilds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that it's akin to talking about putting down new wood flooring in a termite infested house. Until the core issue is dealt with and eliminated it's kind of silly.

Bingo, if no one really has you excited and you can get a guy you like a few picks later, pull the trigger on a trade. But if a guy you really like is on the board in your spot, dont get cute.

LacesOut Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Stay put and draft the BPA, please. Unless you can trade out of that pick, keep a 1st rounder, and get a high 2nd or a late 1st. (captain obvious, here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proveagle Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I'd stay put unless: 1. A QB drops and a team wants to hand the Eagles a truckload of picks. Think multiple year 1st and 2nd rounders. 2. Chase and Smith are gone and they don't love remaining options and like multiple guys they can get lower.

Vlad67 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 given we are stuck with Wentz, I would try to move back in the draft to get extra 2nd pick(I don't think anyone would give also 3rd) and then spent first 3 picks on O Line, secondary(probably CB) and LB...I wouldn't go for WR before 4th or maybe even 5th round...would use first 4 rounds solely on Defense and OLine and similar next year and then when we get rid of Wentz I would look for a WR in the early round assuming we will suck so much we still have decent draft position...that is we need a Def HC for this probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedanone82 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Can this team compete in the next few years with adding a high draft pick? Does the team have good young players to build around? For me I say no to both. With a brand new Coaching staff, terrible cap situation, and an old roster I would be rebuilding. That would incline me to trade down and trade off assets. But the owner and front office are delusional so I doubt they trade down or see this team far from competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The more I think about it, the more I think we should stay put. My dream first three rounds: 1- Ja'Marr Chase 2- Jaycee Horn/Asante Samuel Jr 3- Landon Dickerson Can do whatever else you want from there. We need a new nucleus to build around, and youth. Pray we can get something decent for Ertz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawkinsOwnage03 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Does it matter if Bowles is our HC? We will have to fire him in 2-3 years and yet again start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
