eaglesfan0075 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Moving down to 12 is risky, would have preferred a smaller trade down if going that route, but can't argue against the compensation. The trade itself is great value. The draft pick value chart suggests a mid 2nd round pick to go from 6 to 12. We got a 1st and swapped a 5th for a 4th this year.

vaff Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I like it. You’re immediately a little bit sad that we most likely won’t get one of the players we’ve been talking about at 6. But I think the trade is good for the team. Probably 3 first round picks next year could help us go a long way in our bebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve told you all multiple times 4 games isn’t enough to claim he is anything. You must have been blinded by you Wentz man crush to actually have noticed I’ve never written anything on Hurts other than I respect the fact he’s working hard to get better. 2021 is an important season for the kid. If he shows he can do it then they don’t need to make a move in 2022 now do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Character issues aside my choice would be Parsons. No way pick him up though. Howie will pick another project in the third round ala Taylor.

slick1234 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 For all those that think this was a great deal just remember down the road that we are talking about "Rosebud" here as GM and he gets so caught up in collecting draft picks, drafting up, drafting down and in end has little to show for it. He's done this for years and look at the team. It just is not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgregor Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Just now, downundermike said: Dallas will take 1 of them right before us. Yup. That's what's predicted. I was thinking trading back to 15 or 16, but that would've indeed been risky. Fingers crossed, if you like Horn, I can almost say it's a lock one of them will be there at 12.

He might be but if not, consider how many veteran QBs signed one year deals this offseason because of the cap. And at least 6 of the top 10 Heisman candidates next season are quarterbacks. They'll have plenty of options if Hurts doesn't work out, which is another reason to like this trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, I am just getting caught up on this (I was in a meeting when this broke). I see Miami dealt the 3rd overall pick to SF first (for pick 12 and 3 future 1st rd picks ... whoever is the GM in Miami ... we need that guy here!). And then subsequently traded 12 to us for 6.

Exactly. Hurts has shown to be much more mentally tough than Wentz throughout his college/pro career so far. He also knows he isn’t owed the starting QB spot, because he doesn’t have a ridiculous sense of entitlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I don’t like the trade, but I get it. If Hurts really does flounder in 2021 they have more than enough assets (potentially 3 first round picks) in 2022 to basically get whoever they want. It’s certainly a chess move by Howie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is far less painful than had we experienced that. Nah, Roseman would take the female kicker from Vanderbilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wentz 2 Ertz Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Fans have a right to be angry. Pick #12 is where you’ll get a Derek Barnett kind of player. Pick #6 is where you can get a franchise altering guy. Enjoy the continued destruction of the Philadelphia Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not even a fan of the guy, bit it would be a more honest assessment of him drafting Chase or Pitts. Trading down to 12 and drafting a corner does not help your evaluation of Hurts. This from office is a clown show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back over the past few years, it's certainly not completely out of the question. In 2020, first WR taken was Ruggs (coincidentally, at 12). In 2019, first WR taken was Brown (at 25). In 2018, first WR taken was Moore (at 24). In 2017, first WR taken was Davis (at 5). In 2016, first WR taken was Coleman (at 15). Can you imagine still getting one of the players most here have wanted and end up with yet another high pick in 2022? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
