Not only that.....but there is a WORLD of difference in the #3 overall pick, and the pick Philly got.Dak has a no trade clause, Wentz didn't. Dak would be a fool to waive it because his market value would only decrease, especially off the field. America's Team, remember?
Give things a little more thought before tossing the word "stupid" around.
Indy controlled whether they lost their 1st by how much they played Wentz. IF they were having a horrible year and knew their pick would be a Top 5 pick they would have benched Wentz, ensuring they'd keep their 1st rounder. But they were fighting for a playoff spot so they knew their pick would be lower.
Not saying some team might not poo away a 2nd rounder for Dak... but people in here just are ignorant of the draft process and the value of different picks. A Top 5 pick...especially in a QB rich draft...is a golden ticket. New England could trade that #3 pick to Arlanta, move down just to #8 if they wanted, and pick up a haul of picks including a future 1st...and STILL have the #8 overall pick to draft a franchise LT like Joe Alt or a game changing WR like the LSU kid. The top 3 QBs will push GREAT players down to 8.
This is just a silly idea proposed by someone who just doesn't understand how this part of football works.... like something my 8 year old nephew would suggest.
Again....let's trade Schoonmaker for Patrick Mahomes-level silly.
