Minnesota trade with Eagles

[Longboysfan]

Looks like now, barring anything crazy happening, the Eagles will only get the 1st rounder from Minnesota - about to 20th pick. And the 4th rounder.

No move up's for the fourth round pick based off the Vikings making it to the NFC division playoffs and or Super Bowl.

This trade looked great at the end of September.

Lol, exactly.

Hate them all you want, but to get out from underneath Bradford's contract AND get compensation (1st + 4th) was a brilliant move by the Eagles.

lol. Minnesota still paid far too much for Bradford. Not as bad as the Walker deal but bad enough. It was hard to believe back in September. I was hoping Bradford would stay many years in Philly.

Not if you're a Vikings fan. The trade looked dumb from the start. They weren't one player away from a Superbowl. Even if they were, Bradford isn't that one player.

It was a fix. How can the NFL hold the draft in the city of the team without a first round pick?

I'm calling shenanigans.

They panicked and it cost them. I don't know how anyone could have thought that Bradford would be the answer. Probably would have done just as well with Hill as QB.

still a great trade as they got their franchise QB and still have a first rounder.

I think Bradford's ineptitude would have been better masked had they had a healthy Adrian Peterson for the year.

And if Treadwell wasn't turrable.

If I'm the vikes, I'm signing: Ronald Leary, Pierre garçon, Romo, and a offensive tackle.

Lol, I was told he was a "generational talent."

A bum who has a good chance of breaking the all time NFL record for QB completion percentage (currently 71.6%) despite having the one of the worst running games in the NFL, possibly the worst OL in the NFL, and no #1 WR.

The Vikings average 3.0 yards per carry and probably the worst pass blocking team I've seen play all year. Heck they were so bad even D-Law looked good pass rushing against them this year.

Given all that, I think Bradford has, in many ways, redeemed himself this season.

 

[Idgit]

If the Minny OTs had stayed in the lineup, that's a team capable of competing. Back before they lost Peterson and had a healthy OL, the trade was a fleecing, but what you expect to pay trading for a starter heading into week one.

And Philly wasn't brilliant to unload Bradford. They were lucky. MIN's misfortune dug them out if their own self-inflicted stupidity.
