fartknocker posted:To expand on that slightly, he apparently reacted very badly to the Eagles doing well with Foles after he was hurt in 2017. At one point, he said something in front of other injured players prior to Super Bowl LII about not wanting the team to be winning without him, to which Darren Sproles (Who was also on IR) nearly got into a fight with him. Foles ensuing popularity after the Super Bowl win, and then replacing an injured Wentz again the next year, didn’t help and made him more of an rear end in a top hat in the locker room. Irsay buried Wentz multiple times in the media after trading him, calling him an obvious mistake lol. He REALLY hated Wentz.

It’s not like there’s a slew of stud free agent tight ends out there to sign and they have other priorities in the draft.

Even Grozz Nuy posted:I guess what I'm saying is maybe the Patriots don't think Jayden Daniels is 'the guy' and could potentially get a truly goofy amount of picks from a desperate team who does. Pretty much agree with both. I HOPE they have an awesome grade on whoever is there at 3 and they can just confidently take him. If they think the guy sucks rear end then yeah don’t take a QB just to say you did it. Even then I would prefer they take Marvin or something and stay put. The problem with trading back is all the likely partners are out of the top 10. You aren’t getting a situation where the dumbass Bears give you a million picks to leap one spot to take Trubisky. The opportunity cost isn’t just the QB you didn’t take at three. It’s like, all of the top receivers and tackles. You’re now in the zone where a bunch of defenders start going and I am a lot less excited about that. E: unrelated, glad they are not bringing back Gesicki. What an obviously dumb signing that was

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Isnt his agent allowed to talk to whomever he wants? Like if the agent got a call from the Falcons FO saying "Hey we are interested in one of your players, here is what we are thinking of offering him, what do you think?" cant the agent reply? The problem is the other direction. Teams aren't supposed to be calling dudes up while they are still under contract elsewhere Which is dumb because of course teams and agents are talking off the record 24/7, but, it's the rule

drat rip to a legend. And I dunno I think it’s cool to see a guy go out while he’s still considered a holy terror. Not this Julio Jones style long farewell where he latches on with whoever will have him and the stats get more pathetic every year On the other hand it looks like the Rams play the Jets this year and I would have really enjoyed Donald having a chance to bury Rodgers under MetLife next to Jimmy Hoffa

Eagles backup was one of the last plausible roles for Fields, wasn't it? Man if he winds up as Bears QB2 after all the noise about trading him for a high pick that'll be pretty drat funny Also I'm unsure what the Eagles saw in Pickett that made them want him as even a backup

Blind Pineapple posted:I would have to disagree with that assessment. Better at WR and maybe RB with Mixon now. I don't know much about the tackles for the Texans, but I'll assume they're better there. After that, though, uh... They are certainly worse at TE, IOL, and most defensive positions. The Texans aren't too far behind on defensive talent, but the Chiefs have a couple guys with a legit claim to literally the best player in the league at their positions. Chiefs also have a huge advantage at kicker, which is super important in close games. The chiefs lucking into Butker for free cause the Panthers are dumb is highly annoying

If you want to pad the list you could argue Warren Moon I guess. Although that was actually racism over the idea of a black QB more than some skill switch suddenly flipping 5 years in.

xbilkis posted:I think it's underdiscussed how Minnesota might be pretty badly situated to move up, even though they're sitting just outside the top 10. Any team in that 4-6 stretch wouldn't just be giving up on their preferred prospect by moving down to 11; there's a good chance they'd be giving up on the entire "blue chip" tier of prospect in this draft. I've been saying this for a while in the context of the Pats. If the evaluations of the top ~10 guys in this draft are correct (which is a huge if), trading back means giving up your shot at the kind of player who is a franchise bedrock for many years. You're looking at a significant tier drop. The rebuttal is that draft evals are wrong all the drat time and sometimes Josh Rosen goes at 10 while Lamar Jackson goes at 32. Which is fair. But I agree with you. If a team in the top 5 is going to trade back with someone in that 11-15 range, they need to ask for the moon and the stars. The opportunity cost of all the guys they are foregoing is huge. I was listening to a podcast tonight that proposed the Vikings send their 2 2024 firsts, 2024 5th or something, and 2025 first to New England. In return for the 2024 3rd overall and a 2025 3rd rounder. That's the kind of overwhelming haul that would make me feel OK about trading back. Is it realistic? I dunno, that is a lot of loving picks lol. For what it's worth it was PFF's Stock Exchange podcast, not some dumbass Boston homer show. It's also peak "making stuff up for engagement" season. But if I were in charge, I would want that kind of return to willingly pass on all QBs, Marvin Harrison, Nabers, Odunze, Joe Alt.

They’d be insane to trade JJ, I don’t get why he is constantly the subject of trade rumors. I guess if he pitches a fit and holds out you could think about it. Even if you get 3 firsts or something, what are the odds that any of those picks develop into a player close to as good as Jefferson?

No Butt Stuff posted:I think at that point you’re accepting you won’t replace him but instead of having 1 A+ player you may end up with 3B+ with upside? Yeah I see this logic, I just disagree with it. At least when it comes to one of the very best players in the league at any position. The handful of guys who can singlehandedly win games every week have such outsized value. You can't add 2+2+2 and get 10.
