I disagree with that completely. It would have been a "luxury move" if AJ Brown was a 30 year old with one or two good seasons left in him. AJ Brown is 24. He's young enough to produce at a high level for close to a decade. 

I agree. This wouldn’t have been a wise move at all if Brown was an older player. But given that he’s 24, he has a chance to be a key part of this team for a long time.

Didn't like going from 3 first round picks to 1, but WR was a big need so it's hard to be too disappointed with it. 

Just pretend Brown was in this draft and that’s who they used the pick on. In fact, if he was in this draft (knowing what we know now) he’s easily be a top 10 pick. So pretend they traded a third to move up from 18 to like 8 to get Brown.

Can’t really do that given the difference in contracts.

Sure you can. You realize that if they had drafted three players in the first, all three would enter their big money contract years at the same time right? And by then the price tag will have gone up compared to paying Brown now.

Nips the raiders did.

Pretend that in 2019 they traded up just 2 spots in the 2nd to draft him in the first place, since Howie said they really liked him.  If he's so good at trading, why not trade just 2 spots in the 2nd round which would cost much less?  I know, moot point but if we're talking draft capital the "genius" Howie should have made that trade then.

Here we go with the horrible move BS, personally, I think it was a good move. 

No, it made no sense, if the Eagles wanted Brown's skillset they should have drafted Burks, same skillset.

But no, he decides to pay a 100m contract instead of paying a rookie contract, anyone who thinks that was a good move need to think gain.

You'll never sustain a competitive team via building a team making these sort of moves, this is why when FA rolls around we can't make moves because we have no money.

Honestly, I have no idea why Lurie puts up with Howard Roseman, excuse me, Coward Roseman, he a coward because he afraid make picks.

I don’t know what any of that has to do with what I said. We’re talking about the next four years.

Howie can't draft past 13 so I guess it's best he traded picks away.

But they were also looking for a veteran presence in the WR room, which a rookie couldn't provide.

Maybe, but Howie traded 3 picks to move up 2 spots for a gamble in Davis.  He traded up for Dillard.  He traded up for DeVonta Smith, Marcus Smith, others.  He trades up for unknown commodities too.

I do think CB (and S) are needs as well but that doesn't mean WR wasn't a need.  I am hoping Howie can swing a deal to move Reagor for possibly a 3rd today and then use our 3 day 2 picks to address both levels of the secondary and edge rusher.  

Did you really say a 3rd for Reagor?  LMAO

Because that's what you do if you want a particular player and don't sit back hoping he falls to you and no other team (Ravens) take the player. Howie wanted Davis over Hamilton and other players. They just saw the Lions trade up from 30 to get Williams. So yeah, Makes sense to me.

The draft slot matters. A guy at #13 is way less of a gamble then a pick at #50 (where they’d have had to trade up for AJ in 2018)

Yep.  I know Philly fans are down on him but I don’t buy that we couldn’t get anything in return for him.  Thinking he could be packaged in a trade up where his value would be equal to a late 3rd / early 4th.  There very well could be a GM that has a need at WR, knows he has only been in the league for 2 years, and has had one of (if not THE) worst QBs statistically throwing to him his rookie year and then Hurts in year 2 who everyone knows needs to work on that part of his game and then thinks a change of scenery could do him good.

I think a fourth would be the absolute max they can hope for. But I do agree I think there will be a GM in the league who looks at it and talks themselves in to it.

They picked at #53.  Moving up a few slots in the 2nd round costs less than trading a 1st and a 3rd.  Howie said they really liked him in that draft...if he's so good at trades, why not trade up a couple spots for him then?  The real issue is he drafts guys like JJAW and Reagor and then later says he really liked guys that turn out to be good players, then trades for proven players.  If he liked them then, he could have used less draft asset (a factor he claims to love having) to trade up and take them.  

He has to keep making trades to fix his bad drafting.

Probably wishful thinking on my part that it actually happens.  

I can't believe theres people actually mad we traded a first and third for AJ Brown... Dude is good... I don't want another Whiteside Reagor or Agholor again anytime soon

Again, Coward Roseman doesn't value draft picks, he gives them away like he's giving candy to a child, concerning the Brown, he gave up a 3rd for that move, I haven't checked yet but I hope it wasn't our 3rd.

Guess I'm the only one happy about the 1st round yesterday with the sentiment of these comments lol. 

Davis, Brown, 4 maybe more players to add before the end of the weekend. At min 6 new comers from draft day and 2 are already locks to contribute THIS YEAR.  Sounds good to me.
