NFL Offseason
- Thread starter bmoneynova
- Start date
Add Brian Baldinger to a few others who have Mariotta falling out of the top 10. The Jets are now negotiating with Brian Hoyer. Even if they don't sign him, they sure don't seem like they will draft MM. I have a feeling that it won't be nearly as difficult as some claim if Chip truly wants Mariotta.

Kelly should probably wait till the second round. I'm sure Marioto will still be there. Maybe even the third.
It's Johnny Football only worse.

So Brian Baldinger and some others are saying he might not go in top 10 is now evidence that someone is wrong? Interesting. I read yesterday that TEN was bringing Mariota in for a private workout. The last time I checked they held the second pick. Does any of this mean anything? Maybe not. But Dmil could easily point to this TEN tidbit and say to you, will you admit you were wrong? Really no different.
Here is what I do know. Maybe 2 or 3 of the top 6 teams want Mariota, or maybe they don't. But at this point EVERYONE knows that Chip Kelly wants Mariota, and that Chip Kelly is clearly in charge of personnel decisions for the CoP Eagles. We barely begun to see maneuvering yet. See above post for some evidence of that. We'll see what happens when the smoke clears. For now, a lot more mocks have him in the top 2 than out of the top ten it seems. Doesnt make me right.

The Saints and Seahawks are trying to finalize trade Jimmy Graham and a 4th rounder for Max Unger and Seattle first rounder
um, OK.

Looks like the pick going with Sam Bradford to Philly is a second-rounder.
more ammo for Mariota.

Bradford is set to make like $15 million this year. he is on the last year of those inflated rookie deals. Foles was making like $1 million I believe.
Some people saying we actually might be swapping 1st rounders with the Rams in this deal (they have #10). That too would really be an incredible return for Foles.
Bradford's last year this year is at $12.9 million, Eagles obviously have the CAP SPACE if they have to keep him.

The Rams are on some hard drugs. They got absolutely fleeced. Foles will get annihilated in that awful offense behind that horrid o-line. And in a contract year - he's screwed. Better get the Rams to pony up on a new deal before the season.
This deal reminds me of the coup we pulled off in trading Kolb to the Cards for a 2nd rounder, after he really had been exposed in several games as a starter (especially late that year). Amazing how dumb some NFL personnel guys can be.
Perhaps MM can be had at a relatively sane price, we're in the running with #10 now at our disposal in exchange for a guy in Foles that Chip didn't really want anyway. Still not sure if MM ultimately will succeed in the NFL, but I'll trust in Chip for now.

Anything happen today? Heard the Eagles were going to give up 3 #1's to go up to 6 and get Mariota. Damn, some really smart guy laid out how this would go down. However, let's wait until the smoke clears. In Chip We Trust.
Intellectual dishonesty on several front. No one said teh price was 3 1's - in fact, that was floated in various places and peple here said they did not see that happening, so stay IH.
Secondly, has Chip Kelly gotten Mariota yet? No?
Ok then. As it stands he's a guy running a mobile QB system and has a QB coming of his second torn ACL. I am surprsied however, he was able to swap the picks. Just a bad move by STL, but fact remains the Eagles are most likely still not in a position to draft MM. Certainly closer though.
Whoa, let's not move the ball here. The discussion was never if the Eagles would be closer to drafting Mariota. The discussion was what it would take and where he could get drafted. Your position all along was he would never get past #6 FACT. And for Eagles to get him it would take 3 #1's to get there and draft him. You are so devoid of intellectual integrity it scares me.
Doesn't look like the eagles got #10. Conditional 2nd rounders. This trade without moving up to 10 makes zero sense.
Wow, you are like Costanza - it's not a lie if you actually believe it. Maintained all along that Mariota will not get past 6. Still do. Never once speculated what it would actually cost the Eagles other than your idea of "Foles and a #1 next year to move from 20 to 6" was not going to get it done. In fact, burrs and I heard the same rumor about the 3 #1 and agreed either of us could see the eagles doing that.
But all we have to do is scroll back a page or two. So lets' do that.
Here is what burrs said :
"I heard a rumor the other day that the Eagles were
getting TBs #1 and Mike Evans for a 1, 2, 3 this year. 1 and 2 next. And
a 1 and 2 the following year. And Foles, too.
If be shocked if any trade didn't involved multiple #1's. Probably a minimum of three, at least if it's done with TB at one."
And here is what I posted in the next post:
"That's the word i heard - however Boomer Esiason said
earlier today he doesnt think the Eagles will do that. I guess Adam
Sheftner had this- as Boomer said - 'Adam doesn't always have it right'.
Boomer is not exactly disconnected either. However, i do think it will take 3 #1's if the Eagles
want to get into the top spot and guarantee they get their guy - mostly
because the rumor is considerably more than that. I can see it getting
dialed down with the extra picks, but usually the rumors are not too far
off if the trade actually happens. "
Pretty easy to comprehend. So, yes, if they had to move from 20 to #1, my speculation is it would cost 3 firsts. That was my feeling. Not from 20 to 6, not form 10 to 6. From 20 to 1. Stop lying and saying anything different. It's all right here
It's ok man - you're a Nova guy and we like you no matter what - this is not DC where you just have to lie and be consistently ID at all times. You don't have to lie and just act like you are not lying and expect no one to notice.

You should seek help. You are like Hillary Clinton in your ability to disavow yourself of any truth. So now your position is that Nick Foles and a single #1 was what I said all along. You realize there are posts in this very thread that contradict your position? You get this right. All you need to do is scroll through the same thread you're commenting in. I love the fact you are in capable of accepting you might be wrong. You are not even wrong yet but you lie about the fact you might be wrong later. Cap tip. You cannot be helped.
