If Wentz was our qb, we’d already be calling him a bust
McClay had Wentz graded as a top 10 pick and his # 1 overall QB. McClay had Dak ranked as a 4th rounder. Looks like he was right. It must hurt him to see Wentz in an Eagles uniform.
Wait.
Didn’t Ken and Irvin88 claim we had Dak rated as a 2nd rounder supposedly?
Looking for to the spin job on this one.
A small trade up? People forget how much Philly had to trade to get that #2 pick, it took 2 1sts a 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks. In hindsight, it's always easier to say it would have been worth it or not.
That's wrong. The Bradford and Kiko trades were separate trades done at different times with the Vikings and Dolphins, not with Cleveland.Wrong, Eagles gave up Sam Bradford, Kiko Alonso, their 1st and two mid round picks.
Wentz should have been a Cowboy. It would have taken a small trade up and the QB position would have been solved for the next 10+ years.

The Eagles sent five draft picks to the Browns: the No. 8 pick in the first round, a third-round pick (77th overall) and a fourth-round pick (100th overall) in this year's draft, a first-round pick in 2017 and a second-round pick in 2018. Cleveland also sends a fourth-round pick in 2017 to the Eagles.

They weren't moving up from #4 overall though. It would have taken our next years 1st the way the draft points worked out (steep price for 2 spots but thought it was worth it to have Romo's heir in place and to avoid the possibility of drafting a RB top 5). Some fans were screaming for them to do it bf the PHI trade was made.
After that it was Bosa, Ramsey, Zeke, but bf that point the FO should've moved up those 2 spots. Our coaching staff had an up close look during the senior bowl week but passed on that option still looking for Romo to be here long term or get 2 for 1 by moving up for Lynch (glad that didn't work out).
Exactly. The Eagles knew what it would take and went all in, while the Cowboys had their doubts and didn't think it was worth the risk.My point was that moving up did not cost them a ransom like you implied. 2 of those picks were from traded players they were moving from. Eagles front office is light years ahead than Dallas.
You deserve credit for getting this one right. I too am an occasional prophet."Oh what? Do you think you know more than the guys running this team?!"
Yes. I do.
GrossHeck, I would settle for Nick Foles at this point brother.
