Iggles getting ready to obtain Indy's NO. 1 pick

[blueblood70]

Eh its a nice break from where to line up Parsons, Kellen Moore drama, and the LG situation.

no its not been discussed since the trade in the offseason it matter not to this season at all way too early..april when the actual drfat boards are set and we are talking possibility's..

 

[JoeKing]

We cannot get anything for players like Jaylon Smith when his tenure with the Pokes is over but the Eagles find a way to get a number one pick for an injured and questioning his abilities QB who was essentially run out of Philadelphia.

Jerruh, please hire a real GM because you and Stephen are just not cutting it. Your efforts during the past 25 years has been abysmal.

You seem to be ignoring the Cowboys' lead over the rest of the division when you say the Jones boys are not cutting it.

 

[Techsass]

Eagles have a history of getting great deals on ex players, especially #1 picks for QBs that never quite make it. Good thing it never seems to actually pan out for them in the end.

Crawl through the screen? LOL Is that some sort of unveiled keyboard warrior threat? Oh the keyboard balls certainly get bigger for some in the virtual world yet shrivel to raisins in real life.

He and I have battled often. We don’t always agree. But we always respect each other. We don’t throw insults. That’s the first thing you usually do. I don’t have a problem with the difference of opinion. I have a problem with the way it’s presented. People take kindness for weakness until it bites them

[phildadon86]

Yeah, I can see how you don;t throw insults: "This clown ...."

That was from 6 minutes ago. I guess your memory fails you at times.

If you admire what the Philly front office does so much I hear they are looking for fans. You'd fit right in with them. Throwing batteries, hurling insults (and then running to the mods when you're insulted) perfect fit if you ask me

He simply pointed out a great move by Philly and the need for Dallas to make better moves like the example pointed out......and yet he is told to leave? Some people are far too fast to be anti-1A should someone not agree with what the mob thinks.

The comparison is nonsensical though. Jaylon Smith is unable to play football at a NFL level and had a bad deal to boot. Dallas tried all offseason to trade him but no one wanted him on his deal/give up compensation.
Carson Wentz plays a far more important position and while he has been injured quite a bit non of his injuries ever limited his ability to play QB once recovered.

Indy also has Reich, Wentz former OC in Philly so they had incentive to trade for Wentz and hoped he bounced back to 2017 Wentz.

If Wentz got injured to the point of missing more than 25% of his snaps, the Eagles would of gained a 2nd round pick in 2022. 30 % if the Colts made the playoffs.

They traded up to get Wentz and shipped him off for a 3rd in 2021 and a 2nd or 1st in 2022 depending on his health.

Besides, not too often does a team want/need to trade a 28 year old QB and want to role the dice on a rookie QB to lead the "rebuild". Wentz wanted out.

So the idea of Dallas to make better moves sounds good but doesn't mean much.

Maybe true, but sometimes the handwringing gets old. We’ve outdrafted the Eagles for years

 

[blueblood70]

I can’t give you enough likes

we dont even know whos available in the draft., the draft order, teams needs, teams final draft slots, I mean this is out of control

its senseless to keep posting , at least post under one of the the 3 thread son east rival and not start new one.

Thanks for the advice Chief cheerleader.

LOL at trying to compare a LB with one leg to a QB.

Carson Wentz was always going to have way more value than Jaylon Smith. This hot take kinda stunk.

 

[phildadon86]

Thanks for the advice Chief cheerleader.

See there you go. Insults. I don't cheerlead. I call it like I see it. Team plays bad. I criticize. Team plays well. I am happy. You have posted not one positive thing on this board since I have seen you on it. That's the difference. Should I report this insult? Or let it slide? I mean you run to the mods at any opportunity so I am just wondering.

 

[BourbonBalz]

When you consider what Philly gave up to draft Wentz, it’s not like they’re really making out great in the trade.

It was a silly take.

Wentz is a QB. Smith is a LB who was terrible and had serious concerns about a degenerative issue in his leg.

Wentz was traded to the team led by his former OC/QB coach who when in Philly made Wentz a potential MVP candidate before he got hurt in 2017.

It's not exactly hard to see why Wentz was traded for a conditional first round pick and Smith was worth next to nothing.

Not at all apples to apples. There is a reason Wentz is a starting QB (not top tier, but certainly starting material on many teams) and Jaylon is watching games on TV at home.

 

[Doomsday101]

As far as I can see Dallas and Jerry have been making very good picks, this team has talent and ultimately that is the job of the GM to get talent on a team. There have been failures like Jaylon Smith but look around the NFL, Dallas is far from the only team to miss on a player. Clearly there have been trades in the past that has not worked out and I put them fully on Jerry but by the same token when I look at this roster I see a lot of talent on this team and that too in on Jerry.

Some of you find anything to fuss and fight over.

Not to mention praising a team that drafted Reagor over Jefferson or Lamb is a joke in itself. Roseman hasnt hit on his last like 5 first round picks lol.

Be careful or you will be labeled a koolaid drinker.

 

[Blast From The Past]

The Eagles were involved in the trade as it was not Indy alone. What they do with the pick only knows as they, like many other teams including Dallas, have made many a whiff with draft picks.

Eagles have 3 count em 3 first round draft picks next year. Roseman may pick a clunker but not 3 clunkers. He will hit on someone and make them better. We just have to hit on our first 3 rounds non clunkers to make us better.
