Future picks aren't as valuable as current picks when it comes to draft trading. They could use that strategy to trade up in Round 2 or later when value starts to get a little better. I just can't see the Eagles trading up from 10...or 30. They're either going to stick and pick, or trade back from 1 or both first round slots. Not necessarily. If you're only trying to move up a couple of spots it likely costs you a 2024 second based on the value charts. We're not talking about moving all the way to 1 here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philafan4o8 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Let’s think about this. Carter is a generational talent and the eagles have good veteran leadership. The Cardinals are likely going to trade out of the 3 spot. That leaves the Colts in no man’s land. What if the the Eagles jump to 4 to get the generational talent and best player in the draft? The Colts can get some extra picks and still trade for Lamar Jackson if they would like. Just thinking aloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d trade up but not higher than #7 or #8, just to get ahead of the Bears without giving up too much. if not, either draft the best available player or trade back. My first preference at DT would be to trade for Jeffery Simmons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Simmons would cost a ton but he’s a beast and at this point in his career a nice upgrade over Hargrave. I think Howie has something up his sleeve at DT, not sure which direction they go.

Too many QB needy teams and 3 QBs are the hot commodities. They will get a deal enough deal that they will seriously consider moving down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s cool, I agree with that as well but I am just having a discussion. I didn’t say say they would or should.

Infam Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Carter at this point is my favorite pick at #10. That his agent declined any visit to teams outside top ten actually makes me think we told him he‘s our guy.. Carter and Davis for the future. Let‘s make it happen.

If we could move up 2-3 spots with a 3rd and grab Carter that would be ideal. Then I would love it if they drafted Cody Mauch or Joe Tippmann with the other 1st. Either of those guys could replace Seumalo but Mauch has the potential to eventually replace Lane. Then if they could grab a LB like a Jack Campbell In round 2 would be perfect.

Rey Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network says he believes that the #Eagles assured Jalen Carter they would be selecting him if still there at #10, and that that is his "educated guess” of why Carter isn’t taking any meetings outside of the Top 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Howie leaked a little misinformation purposely ... he has no intention of taking Carter but puts that out there hoping another team does jump ahead of us to take him which obviously pushes more players we truly covet down to us that he has legit interest in drafting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need players on cheaper (relatively speaking) rookie contracts, cost controlled for the next 4-5 years. With a mega deal for Hurts on the horizon and pretty much run out of options for restructures on veteran contracts, a trade for someone like Simmons just isn’t feasible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly ... have to figure Jalen's contract first before we can start tying up more future money; especially a big money one like Simmons would command.

philafan4o8 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I think the eagles will need to move up to 3 to draft Carter. It will likely cost 10, 30 and a 2nd next year to make the move. If that is the case, you do it in a heartbeat imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To now you may have to go all the way to 3 to get him in less than a month. Gotta love draft time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
