Trading #2

No trade without multiple 1sts.

 

No trade with the Eagles.


Thank goodness. I can stop worrying about that now.

 

Actually, just heard Chip Kelly on NFL Radio. He emphatically stated that while he thinks Mariota is the best QB in the draft, he has no intention of mortgaging his team's future by moving up to draft him.

Maybe he is posturing....but that did not sound too encouraging unfortunately.

 

He also said someone actually offered a 1st round pick for Bradford, lies. All lies.

 

I am starting to hear the Skins could be interested in Mariota at 5. Might be to try and get the Jets to move up a spot, but this is gonna be the million dollar question as to who really wants him. The Jags, Raiders, and Falcons are the only teams without a need.

#2---Titans have Mettenberger...unproven and no pedigree.
#5---Skins have RG3 but he and the HC don't get along and arent system fits.
#6---Jets have Fitzmagic and a turnover machine.
#7---Bears have Cutler this year, but for how much longer?

Any of these teams could take Mariota and the Rams at 10 could take him as well because Foles is on a 1 yr contract.

I think it's also possible the Raiders or Jags could move up to our spot for Leonard Williams.

 

Well who is left that would be into a QB? We can take out the Eagles, Browns and Rams. That leaves the Jets and Redskins. I currently are more inclined to trade with the Redskins for 2 reason.

1. Puts Mariota in the NFC
2. The return wont be as great, but we could still land Leonard Williams which would be the greatest thing ever.

1. Winston
2. Mariota
3. Gregory/Fowler- Jacksonville signed Odrick and someone else, reports they aren't interested in Williams anymore.
4. White/Cooper - Oakland needs/wants a WR
5. We can still take Williams plus pick up an extra 2 and 4th, plus a 1 next year I would think.

 

plus Snyder has proven he can be abused in these situations

 

Totally agree....before Chip Kelly, there was Daniel Snyder LOL......

Big Al loves him more every time he checks his account balance while on his way to the golf course.

 

Don't be too surprised if the Eagles aren't done making moves for a franchise QB. Bradford for Foles may just be a step towards a run at Mariota.

Hearing whispers of a potential trade partner who owns a first pick, in the range where Mariota is expected to be selected, coveting Bradford.

At first I wasn't too thrilled entertaining the idea we may be the ones considering Bradford, but honestly, as long as we receive the proper draft picks and draft well, I wouldn't be opposed to entering camp with a Mett v Bradford competition at QB.
