ESPN story said they turned down two firsts for Burns

Too hefty a price. Think the Panthers are nuts to turn that down but they clearly value him as part of their future build.

True. Howie was able to fill needs, but you couldn't know then that Bradberry would become available or able to trade for CGJ. It all worked out mostly. I guess the specific interest is how they started with 12 picks, selected only 5 and 2 of them were 6th rounders who likely will amount to nothing. 

Would a 1st round DE be helpful right now? Or will the Saints pick net a stud player now that they won't need to draft a QB. Just interesting to see how it goes. 

The Saints pick is going to be top 10, maybe even top 5. We should have the opportunity to add a difference maker with it.

The upside is it’s a top 5 pick and we get a crack at Anderson or the opportunity to ransom a QB prospect for another 3 first rounders.

With hindsight it was absolutely the right move, and I’d say it was the right move from the start.

Yeah, we can’t afford that.

Hurts is going to need a new deal soon, so draft picks and cap space are at a premium.

I'd love to see a move for a Long type of DE. They don't need to make a big move to have a large impact. Just some depth guys who could step up and make a solid impact.

Exactly. We need a serviceable rotation piece. Someone who can give us solid production and eat some snaps.

A star would be great, but realistically the cost in draft picks and cap space will be too much.

Burns will definitely cost one first round pick and change. I'd consider it for our own '23 pick coupled with 2x non-first picks between '23 and '24.

Otherwise, Bears are likely looking at a 5th or so for Quinn. Taking a punt there might be the more viable short-term solution. Still, Burns on this D with our Saints pick intact would be sexual.

I think it's fair to say the overriding thought round these parts is that the Saints pick is completely off limits whatever the case.

I hope I’m wrong here, but history shows the Eagles are more likely to pass than pull the trigger, but they did give up a first to get Brown so maybe. I agree about that Saints pick too.

Exactly this. 

We are a young team, and having that Saints pick will give us a shot at a Bonafide starter. 

Lets throw a mid round pick and take a cap hit for a vet, and figure out the off season. We have 10 starters with expiring contracts. We’re not in the best position to throw away picks. 

Howie talks about prolonged success, we’re not in the Rams mindset of throwing away everything for a player or two.

Carolina reportedly rejected an offer of two 1st-round picks for Brian Burns, per Adam Schefter

Carolina now has no intention of trading Burns, Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn and DJ Moore before next Tuesday’s trade deadline.

I’m somewhere in the middle on this. I would like to see us go for a big move to make sure we did everything to take us over the top but I don’t feel like we should be giving up the Saints pick either.

To be honest i dont think we need to make any moves to win the NFC, from what ive seen so far.

Winning the Superbowl is another matter. Bills and Chiefs seem to be on a different level right now.

Most of you just want Howie to make moves to make moves.

Sometimes the best moves are the ones not made. Would have been nice to have that 3rd round pick they gave up for a backup linebacker a couple years back

And the pick for the receiver we got from Detroit he was a half season rental

Who knows, maybe the two 1st rounder offer that got turned down by Carolina for Burns was the Eagles … their own 1st rounders this year and next.  That would be about the least attractive two first round pick offer a team could make, with both those picks likely being very late first round.  Only Buffalo and KC could arguably be less attractive.  I could see why Carolina might turn down those three teams, but not any other teams.

The Eagles were awarded a 4th round pick back for losing Tate that offseason, which they knew would happen when they acquired him, so that rental was extremely cheap from a draft pick perspective.

The price tag could be really high because they don't really want to trade Burns unless it's for a haul. If Carolina is rebuilding who better to do it with then a 24 yr old pro bowl DE.

I mean, sure, it kind of goes without saying that they would want a haul to trade a good yound DE.

But you also have to ask yourself who leaked the two 1st round draft pick offer and why.  If the offer had been attributed to a particular team -- say, the Packers or the Titans -- you could understand the offeror leaking it, wanting their fan base to know they are trying to improve the team.  But with no team tied to the offer in the leak, that smells like a Carolina leak.  And why would Carolina leak that?  Because they want to trade him and are trying to use that info as leverage to get even a better offer.

How man Eagles fans still wish they'd moved a boatload of draft picks for Russell Wilson now?

Yep. It was like they traded a third for a half-a-season of Golden Tate (plus the playoffs)...and Jack Driscoll, who has developed into an adequate backup who has the versatility to play four different positions.

I don't think that was nearly as awful a trade as most Eagles fans seem to think.
