Eagles News: Philadelphia rumored to be making calls to trade up from No. 10

[TheMarathonContinues]

Their DT position contributed to them being one of the top pressure teams in the league and one of the top defenses in the league. Interior pressure is one of the best ways to disrupt a passing game. Their yards allowed per game was second only to San Fran.

Yeah but they couldn’t stop the run or rush the passer in the SB.

They already have great DT's.

Yeah but they got to the Super Bowl.

I mean the Eagles had Hargreves, Fletcher Cox, etc. last year and sucked against the run.

Jalen Carter sounds like a nut job. I'm not sure why the Eagles would trade up for a guy like that. I get the talent but that's not a guy Howie would go for. But who knows.

Conversely they led the league in sacks in large part because their interior DL could collapse the pocket and kill people allowing their edge guys to feast.

Their DT play is much better than ours. They value DT more than us. Adding Carter, unless he goes wacky on them, makes them stronger, much stronger again, inside than us.

People can piss on Philly all they way, but they've dwarfed us over the last 20 or so years. If you had to choose one way to build a team - how they do it or how we do it - you'd be a fool to suggest Jerry has the magic sauce.

By beating the Giants, 49ers led by Josh Johnson lol.

Man it’s a sad state of affairs when you can’t question a move by Philly on a Cowboys site. Damn this is bad. Philly beat the Giants and 49ers with Josh Johnson. Cowboy fans should have a little more respect for themselves….Eagles suck and always will. I will enjoy their regression.

 

[Gaede]

I still don't think Hurts is all that he appeared, so no matter what they do, they're linked to him and that contract.

That said, still hate to see them making positive moves

If Philly has a bad season this year, we’re going to have a lot of guys who joined in September/October 2022 stop posting here.

Just the opposite with me. Carters had issues at every level he’s played in. Wouldn’t take him in the first.

Just because they trade up higher into the top 10, doesn’t mean that it is a positive move. Maybe it will be or maybe it won’t be, but that’ll remain to be seen.

Moving from 10 to, say, 4 will be expensive and you’ll have to hit big for it to be worth it. Spending a lot on Carter and having him just be a solid player will not have been worth it. They could stay at 10 and get a guy like Nolan Smith. Often, a move like that will be much more positive for the team.

Only time will tell.

I can tell you that trading 3 extra picks for Jordan Davis last year is not looking good for Howie. If the guy just stays as a part-time run plugger who doesn’t get to the QB, that move is going to look pretty bad… no matter how fast he ran for a fat guy at the combine.

Just because the move makes a splash, it doesn’t make it a positive move.

Not going to knock it when we haven't even been to the championship game in nearly 30 years. Their defensive tackles have helped them win one Super Bowl and get to another.

Yeah, obviously we hope for the worst if they do it.

I don't think sticking your head in the sand and ignoring the fact that the Eagles went to the Super Bowl last year does any fan any good. Fact is, their strategy of addressing the trenches with early picks has paid off, along with other moves they have made. If we want to surpass them, we need to do better on acquiring talent and hope that they do worse.

Hopefully they trade both of their 1's. If it's for Carter, they may have found an exceptional piece for that defense, but who knows where his head is at? I had him as a top 3 talent initially, but he's been a mess since that wreck. Trading up and taking him high is a pretty big gamble, I think.

I'll be surprised if they give up both ones, but would love it if they did ... no matter who they take.

 

[TasteMyScythe]

If the Eagles are trying to trade up, It's to the #3 spot for Will Anderson.

Yep...The Cards have been saying for weeks they are open for business. And if you're the Eagles and you're willing to give up some capital then you want to go after a game changer. Will Anderson and Hassan Reddick will be a nightmare.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

IF this is true, I'm 100% confident it's Carter and my guess is they are targeting the Seahawk's spot. Read a couple of nuggets and mocks of them picking him 5th. Also just read today that the Bears could be another team interested.

I don’t think you need to worry.

SBNation is the worst news source in existence. They have no insiders. Just make stuff up.

 

[JJGR8]

Is there any chance that Calijah Kancey is there in the second round for the Cowboys? I think he would be a huge step up in DT.
Imagine getting Bijan in the first and Kancey in the second round.....

Leopards don't change their spots ( or stripes as our legend Emmitt Smith would say ) (LOL), but I have to be honest, if he falls to 26, I'm running the card up.
