Integrity28 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 SI's Peter King says the Eagles would likely have to give up two first-round picks plus "something significant" to get Oregon QB Marcus Mariota. Something significant would likely be stud DE Fletcher Cox (who would at least be a top-15 pick in this year's draft). And that would be at the shallow end of the scenarios. Philly Mag's Tim McManus says two first-rounders, a second-rounder, Cox, Mychal Kendricks and Vinny Curry could get the Eagles from No. 20 to No. 2. It would be a massive price for Chip Kelly to get his quarterback. Let's play this out... We get a couple #1's and maybe Fletcher Cox. Does that gives us the freedom to then trade Mo Wilk away for another 1st rounder? Perhaps to the Saints or Cleveland, who have multiple 1st rounders to deal. For the sake of this pipe-dream, let's imagine we get the #12 from Cleveland for Wilk. Gain: #20 from Eagles, #12 from Browns, Fletcher Cox DE, a 2016 1st rounder from the Eagles Lose: Mo Wilk, #6 overall We use the #12 on Danny Shelton, Bud Dupree, Vic Beasley or Devante Parker We use the #20 on Andrus Peat, Ereck Flowers, Trae Waynes or Melvin Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 For what it's worth, I believe that's the assumed cost to get up to #2. I think if Tennessee passes and Mariota starts to slide, the cost goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a team to give up a top 5/top 10 spot you're going to give them whatever they ask for to do it, because its either that or Sam "I havent played a full season since 2012" Bradford.

Davidkjet Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I just don't see Titans trading down (ala Browns picks) for mid 1st round picks however, I can see Eagles moving up to 6th pick giving the JETS Bradford and their first round #20 pick and maybe a 3rd rounder this year. Then Eagles package the 6th pick in the this year's 1st round and next year's 1st plus add'l mid rounder next year for Mariota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the buyer is Philly and they're willing to give up that much, they're going to get a taker before the 6th pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not disagreeing with that, Im just saying that the offer wont change much because its the 6th pick and not the 2nd or 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 This is the three way trade scenario and the reason the jets have talked to tennessee. Scenario: Tennessee will trade down but not as far as Philly. Jets trade up with Tennessee. Tennessee gets pick 6 and some assets. Jets then trade with philly. There is my fearless prediction, 3 way deal involving players and picks between the Jets, Tennessee and Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I guess you can get into semantics as to what the reason for the difference in offer would be, but I'm pretty confident that the Jets won't be getting a package like two firsts, a second, Cox, Kendricks, and Curry for the #6 pick.

Integrity28 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 For all the trade talk, my anticipation is that the first 5 teams all make their picks. Most of them have GMs that are new-ish or on the hot seat, and I just don't see them giving away top-5 picks for less than max value, and I don't see other teams making full value offers in a draft class that really isn't brimming with blue chip talent. I think Mariota might get drafted by Tennessee because of the ownership/management power struggle. If not, they take Leonard Williams, and Mariota ends up falling to us, where we could easily ship him to Kelly. If rumors = things that actually happen, then picks 2-6 are all trading down. Just not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're going to drop 14 spots the better get something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
