Eagles own Saints 1st rd pick

[nate dizzle]

Currently holding the 6th pick in the first round right now with the Saints sitting at 3-6. With the team they've assembled right now this could definitely be a case of the rich getting richer in our division.

maybe so. Id rather the division be strong and force the cowboys to keep getting better

I agree, I don't want them to be too successful though! But it is definitely more exciting when our division is strong

Their GM will be moving up to select a QB..........Ya his name isn't Jerry.
The Gagles are looking to take over the NFC East for the upcoming years and they are not hiding this fact.
Our options are few as the Cap will have us handcuffed.

I love the eagles as much as you but come on have some pride

Roseman has really worked magic with the Iggs. Makes our FO look amateur.

**THIS**
Will this FO do more than just improve our roster through the draft? I doubt they make any "splash" moves in FA, but one can be optimistic and would be very surprised if they would ever pull the trigger on FAs that we all want. The Eagles are making those moves and now that draft pick from the Saints is looking better and better by the week.

LOL. The Eagles are absolutely going to sign Hurts to a big QB deal after this season, there's no way they draft a high round QB. And we have ample cap space, especially once Zeke is off the books. I know that doesn't help your narrative but don't just make stuff up out of thin air.

Oh please stop with the "cap has us handcuffed" stuff. It does not in any manner.

They have some key players on the wrong side of 30, Jason Kielce , Lane Johnson, Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham and Darius Slay. James Bradberry and CJ Gardner Johnson on one year deals. That’s a lot of potential holes that need to start being filled.

Maybe it pushes the FO to go after a few top FA's to actually help in the weaker areas of concern.

Roseman and that organization deserve a lot of credit for such a quick turnaround. They’re already well-stocked and have quality young players waiting in the wings for both Cox and Kelce. They’ve managed big-spending with their cap very well also. And either Hurts continues to improve and they pay him, or they use their draft resources to draft his replacement.

Credit where credit is due, they’re in good position.

...or the Eagles GM can realize how out of control the QB contracts are and instead of paying Hurts (who enters the last year of his contract next season) what would be an average of near $40M/year he could trade Hurts to another team for high draft picks and go for a rookie QB in 2023, thereby buying 5 years of low salary QB wherein they can build up the entire team.

Hurts, while playing well so far, is not an elite QB and a rookie QB can come in and within a season or two be at Hurts' level of play.

Meanwhile we're over here playing the long game. The 26 year process. I do think going back the past few years I do think the FO has done a much better job of building through the draft. Credit where it's due and all that. Hard to not be a little jealous though.

The Patriots, and their 20 year dominance over a completely incompetent division along with a fist full of rings, laugh at your strategy.

Solid point

you mean the front office that has this team at 6-2 and has been one of the best drafting teams in the past few years while still finding a good ammount of strong value FA's to fill in the gaps.

that front office?

I hope they have the no. 1 overall and pick a QB.

You don't go out and get all of the talent that Roseman has gotten and then start over with a rookie QB after Hurts has gone 8-0. They are absolutely going to resign him unless the wheels fall off in an almost unprecedented way this season. Letting a QB walk who has led his team to an 8-0 start just isn't how the NFL works despite what all of the armchair GM's try and say about Dak's contract. The only reason you guys are touting this idea so hard is so you can have some sort of "told ya so" moment that you think will validate your anti-Dak narratives. When you have a good QB you sign them, you don't roll the dice on a pick. There have been far more first round busts (that the Eagles are all too familiar with) than there have been first round successes in the past decade at QB.

What does that make the other teams in the league? The Cowboys are currently a top 4 team.
