Eagles Trade Confirmed
-
Idiotic deal. This FO should be fired before the season starts.
-
Super. We're going to end up with a lineman and the third best kicker in the draft. Go browns.
-
We now have picks
#8
#32
#65
#77
#99....draft Dak Prescott
#100....draft Cardale Jones.
#138
#141
#172
#173
#176
#223

What about LaQuan Treadwell at 8? Browns need playmakers.........and folks, please still do not discount the fact that they could go for Lynch.

Treadwell was the first name that popped in my head after hearing about the trade although eight feels high for him. Maybe if we trade back to 15?
I just think if we stay at eight, it would be hard to pass up on a Jack or Buckner should they fall.

This is a legit possibility.
I suspect the Tits will wanna trade up for Stanley, presuming he's available at #8. If we could get #15 and a 2nd it would be tempting, I suspect we're definitely not done wheeling and dealing yet.

The Titans 2d rounder is #33. Draft Value chart:
#8: 1400 pts.
#15: 1050
#33: 580
Total: 1630 Trading 1400 for 1630 could do it. We would have #15, #32, #33, then #65. Would that work?

Tony Grossi is already being a fucking crybaby about this trade...
...so it means that this was an excellent move by the Browns

Me too, but forget NEXT year's stuff (a total unknown). If we made the trade as outlined above, we'd be screwed for THIS year. I'd rather we screw them than they screw us.
Mike
Screwed by picking six picks lower and having two extra day 2 picks? Eagles aren't contending this year -Giants and Skins are the team to beat in the NFC east, and they sure as hell aren't getting a wild card. That pick is top 20.

Which makes the trade worthwhile at least from a fairness perspective.
Its a nice haul from a trade perspective but if Wentz turns out to be a legit franchise QB it will be another chapter of the Browns ineptitude in the draft.
If Wentz and Goff turn into multiple Pro-Bowl quarterbacks, I'll be pissed beyond belief- but it's typical Browns.
On a different note, the Eagles certainly are head-scratchers at this point. They've committed $34 between their QB's and will certainly be taking one now and tying up another $20 million or so.
Not only that, but their draft cupboard is looking pretty bare right now. Are they planning on doing a George Allen, and building through FA? EDIT: that future second doesn't kick in until 2018.
... or about 750 points in future value. It's like Sashi has been playing FirstPick for a couple months.
My guess is that it is not over. Too much value in R2 to not package some picks and move up.
Shades of Costner in Draft Day- I could see that too Tour.
Future picks a key.....which is fine for 28-35 year old Harvard boys.....not so great for we in our 60s that want progress NOW!
I'm with you there, Gip.
What about LaQuan Treadwell at 8? Browns need playmakers.........and folks, please still do not discount the fact that they could go for Lynch.
You beat me to it with that thought Gip. If Lynch is still on the board @ #8, I could see us taking him- we did work him out. So getting Lynch, and bonus 1st and 2nd round picks next year would cool me off just a bit. Should that scenario come to pass Ghoolie will have an orgasm, and may even join us in Nashville.
If Zeke Elliott is still on the board there I have no problems drafting him either.

I would actually be pretty happy with that - depends on how badly the Tits want Stanley
Then we'd have what - 13 picks total? There'll likely be some more trading throughout the draft as I presume we won't draft 12 guys.
Treadwell might be there at #15 too

Well, if the Eagles wind up with the next Tom Brady, and the Browns wind up with the next Phil Taylor, just switch Browns for Eagles in that rant. Obvious now at least a couple teams value both Wentz and Goff as potential franchise quarterbacks- and Sushi and DePodcaster think they've outsmarted everyone else.

Walter also thought the Redskins trade up for RG III was the right and correct move. Now if the Eagles 2017 is top a 10, and ours (will almost certainly be top 10) we can pick the franchise qb next year.

There is a lot of assumptions here and things have to fall properly for that to happen. There is no guarantee we will be able to do this, which is why passing on the QB in my opinion is short sighted.

And it remains to be seen if they did or they didn't. I am still thinking this is more David Carr/Joey Harrington rather than...something else....which I will create a thread on.

McShay and Kiper double teaming the board on NFL Live seeing the following:
- Rams - Goff
- Eagles - Wentz
- Chargers - Tunsil
- Cowboys - Elliot
- Jaguars - Ramsey
- Ravens - Bosa
- 49ers - Stanley
- Browns
On the board for us:
- Jack
- Buckner
- Conklin
- Rankins
My pick? Buckner.
Their pick: Conklin... and I threw up in my mouth.
McShay and Kiper double teaming the board on NFL Live seeing the following:
Their pick: #8 Conklin...
and the rest of their instant mock went:
32. Will Fuller (WR) ND
65. Nick Martin
ND77. Jihad Ward (DE) IL
99. Nick Kwiatkoski (ILB) WVU
100. Javon Hargrave (DT) SCarSt
... and Kiper doubled down on Conklin saying, "He might be the best player in the draft." There might have been a bit of a double take from McShay at this...
