philafan4o8 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Only feels right that I start this topic. Trade the farm for Lamb! Lol 3 More days until he is an Eagle! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathByEagle Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Been saying from day one, Im on board for any of the top 3. Wentz with a top young stud WR to grow with for many years to come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be willing to part with next years first, if necessary. I hope it doesn't get to that but if so then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathByEagle Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I don't think it will cost a first. Howie gets very creative. I can see a 2nd and 3rd with 21 but not both in this draft. The Browns are the key area. Howie likes to trade with the same teams a lot and we have a lot of experience with trading with them. Not to mention with Berry now as the GM its a easy discussion. Its also the spot i think you get your choice. Ive said before Im sure Howie already made the calls and knows the price. hes not the type of guy who backs down from the guy he wants. He wont take whats left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just curious if the browns are really willing to trade down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfan0075 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I would watch the Jets at 11 as a potential trade partner with the Joe Douglas connection. Plus they are the most likely team to value Rasul Douglas or Alshon Jeffrey in a trade to lessen the draft pick burden. It still is going to be pricey either way, but any little bit of savings in terms of draft capital will help big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonblood Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Him, or at least one of the top 3- Carson needs a target or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSEagle Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I recently watched some highlights from this past season. It's amazing how much chemistry Wentz and Jackson seemed to have immediately. It is absolutely imperative that we pair a young, talented WR with Wentz. No more Agholor's or JMatts (though he had an okay Eagles career). Lamb would be the guy.

DeathByEagle Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Peter King had a great point today on Pro Football Talk. With the corna virus shutting everything down what happens with college football this year? If the season is cut short or does not happen how do you evaluate the talent coming into next years draft? The better value is this draft and possibly moving some of next years picks to get better position or get more picks in this years draft. What could this mean for the Eagles if they feel the same way. 1- There is no moving back, you move up using some picks from 2021 draft 2- Do you trade a next years pick for the DE out of Jax or a different trade for a valuable player? 3- Do you trade a few picks in 2021 to get back in the 1st or 2nd round this year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. You almost start to wonder how much value next years picks have? So we could see more trade ups and players trades in the coming weeks.

Ace Nova Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Would be a great pick but most likely gone by 21 so Howie would most likely need to trade up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually more rare that Howie would stick with 21. If you look at all the past drafts he's moving up or moving down. I would be very surprised if he sticks with 21.

For me at this point in time, I think Ja'Marr Chase is better than Cee Dee Lamb by a fair amount. I'd be willing to trade up next year for him rather than this year for Lamb. It's why I've been on the Ruggs bandwagon since the beginning. Then again, I've been wrong before, lol. I guess we'll see soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading up for chase next year will cost way more than it will cost the Eagles to get Lamb who I think will be a damn great WR as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll feel a lot better about the WR position with him in the fold because he should turn out to be terrific. My point was simply if I decide to trade farm like 2 1st rounders plus, then I want not just the best this year but a guy who projects to best in the last 5 years or so. That's just me being greedy for a future HOF'er. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they were able to package their thirds or a third this year plus a pick next year to get back into the second? I don’t think that’s too high of a price to pay for Lamb. Howie has had his struggles with the actual players taken at times, but he’s never had a problem being able to wheel and deal his way through the draft.

I just think this year picking in the second is really important as I think there is going to be a lot of really good players there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think this year picking in the second is really important as I think there is going to be a lot of really good players there. So you trade 21 and the second rounder to go up and get Lamb. Then turn around and trade something like a third/4th this year and a 2nd/3rd next year to get back into the second round. Don’t know how the pick value chart looks on this but seems doable. Im also wondering if next year’s pick in the end won’t be quite as important... if the college season gets a late start and they have to shorten it, that means you’ve got less data to really evaluate next year’s class, making it even more of a crapshoot than a normal draft.
