Trading #2

Alright so the Eagles got Bradford for Foles, '15 4th, and '16 2nd. I was shocked by how much Bradford fetched for an injury prone average quarterback. Cleveland already offered #19 for Braford and the Rams went with the Eagles trade instead.

So what does Philly ask for?

I'd say atleast #19 & #43 + Manziel (who may be more of a liability than an asset for Cleveland). Cleveland would now have their "franchise" QB and still have #12 and an early 3rd. Honestly, I think Philly could even get a little more.

Philly could then offer a package of #19, #20, #43, & #52 for #2. Chip gets his QB in Mariota, has a backup in Manziel (who could get his value raised in limited playing time and see a trade next off-seaosn or year after). Eagles also still have a 3rd & 5th-7th to fill some needs (WR). Hefty price to pay, but Chip may just think that Mariota is worth it.

We'd have: #19, #20, #33, #43, #52, #66, #100, #138, #177, and #208. Imagine the young talent we could add with all those picks.

I'm getting carried away with alikely BS rumor. Stupid insomnia.

 

Another interesting trade:

CLE offers Joe Haden, #12, and #43 for #2.

The Browns just drafted Justin Gilbert in the 1st last year and signed Tramon Williams this off-season. Haden is only 25 and is under contract for 5 more years, IMO he's a Top-5 CB (most will agree). Haden also has exp w/ Horton. Cleveland gets their QB & still has #19 and an early 3rd-7th.

This allows the Titans to finally get a true #1 CB. Allowing McCourty to move to #2, where I think he's a great #2, average #1. Cox goes to the slot. Our secondary would be dramatically better. We then use #12 on Devante Parker, #33/#43 on a RT/OLB, and our 3rd on a RB. We walk away with a WR1, starting RT, 3rd OLB (security if Orakpo is hurt), and a RB who could become the starter.

 

Draft chatter is building up - Charles Davis just said this:

" 2. Browns trade up to No. 2 to land Marcus Mariota
The Browns have the ammo to make a move with two first-round picks (No. 12 and No. 19). They also have plenty of uncertainty at quarterback, even after taking Johnny Manziel in the first round a year ago. What if the Browns decide they're tired of searching for an answer under center and view Mariota as the solution to their problems? Sure, there's been some speculation that Mariota could slide out of the top 10. Why trade up if he could be waiting for them at No. 12? Well, there's also been plenty of speculation that Mariota won't last past No. 2. To ensure they land him, perhaps the Browns go all in and move up to No. 2 in a deal with the Titans, who are said to be open to dealing, if the price is right. The Brownsshould have as good a feel as any team for Mariota's abilities, as their quarterbacks coach, Kevin O'Connell, spent about six weeks preparing Mariota for the draft earlier this offseason, before he was hired by Cleveland.

Sure would LOVE #12, #19, and #43... or heck, #12 & Joe Haden.

 

idk if we could get 12, 19, 43, & '16 1st. Change 43 to a 3rd or 4th & could probably see it. I'd absolutely love that deal. Would be a dream.
