The team I heard was Philadelphia if Manziel gets to the back half of the top 10.

It would be a 1st and 2nd in 2014 and 1st in 2015. Philly would then flip Foles for two 1's or something close. They'd essentially come out ahead in picks and have a QB that fits more with their desired offense…assuming Manziel works out. Bird in the hand and all.

I'd like to meet the ***clown GM who would give up two 1's for Nick Foles.

~waiting for the Jerry Jones pic response~

I'll never forget how shocked and excited I was when Dez was dropping to us. It would be the same feeling if Manziel starting falling past 4 also. However, if I kind of think we may trade up to go after Donald instead of Manziel. And frankly I'd be fine with that too as long as it doesn't cost us too awful much.

@ESPNNFL: RT @LRiddickESPN: Hearing rumblings of a potential draft day trade that could blow the top off of the draft involving the QB position.

Yep, Sirrius NFL was talking about the block buster trade to......also something about Houston trying to pry backup QB Ryan Mallet away from the Patriots. 5 days to go....

That is a blockbuster that shakes up the entire draft?

If Houston skips the QB early, they are either taking one at the top of the second or trading back into the first to get one late.

I don't see the Texans trading more than a 2nd to NE for Mallett. If they do more, Belichick truly has mind control powers.

if we draft manziel and trade romo I will crap my pants and vomit and the same time,,,in a bad way obviously

It would be all but impossible to trade Romo. Massive cap hit that, unlike most cap stuff talked about on this board , is actually real

Its not a blockbuster deal IMO, just the media hyping everything up leading up to the draft.

The only thing is who is going to want Foles enough to give them what they want?

I was thinking Arizona. All they have is Carson Palmer.

Cleveland could be in there too -- 26th and 35th this year. Not exactly two firsts but pretty close.

What if Mallett is part of a package to get Manziel?

Trading for Ryan Mallett would be unusually stupid, even for the Texans. Didn't they learn their lessons about trading for other people's backups?

Oh well, it would put the Cowboys one step closer to Manziel.

Drafting JFB would be the dumbest move Jerry Jones has even made. Nothing good can come from it. What happens the first time Romo throws a critical INT? You can trade or release Romo and basically waist 10's of millions of dollars that would essentially destroy your cap for years. This cannot and will not happen people. Nobody, other than Matt Millen, is that stupid.

Too many rumblings from unrelated sources for this draft not to have some big trades .

It's unusual, but I even think some player trades are gonna go down fairly early, or even before the draft starts.
