Eagles Move Up To Second Pick In The Draft

CarsonWentz25In a daring move,  Howie Roseman, Doug Pederson and the Eagles have moved up to the second pick in this year’s NFL Draft by making a blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Browns.

The Eagles have given the Browns their first, third and fourth-round picks in this year’s draft, as well as their first pick in 2017 and a second round pick in 2018.  The Eagles will get a pick up a fourth round pick on the 2017 draft.

Everybody thinks the Birds have moved up in order to draft Carson Wentz, but no one can be sure because it’s not a definite that the Los Angeles Rams are going to draft Jared Goff.  He’s been rumored to be their guy, but they haven’t come out and said it.

I give the Eagles credit for moving up and getting a “Franchise Quarterback”, but they had better be right about the guy they get, whether it’s Wentz or Goff.  Pederson had no problem telling us earlier in the week that he thought both Wentz and Goff were “Franchise Quarterbacks”.  He had better be right.

They’re very close,” Pederson said of Goff and Wentz. “Similar characteristics, good height, good size, smart, intelligent guys. Good arm strength, mobility.”

The future of Roseman and Pederson along with the franchise is tied to the quarterback they draft, which most likely be Wentz because Goff is expected to be the Rams target.

Make no mistake that this was a move by Howie with Pederson in agreement.   Roseman is the guy calling the shots, despite the fact that he’s relying on others to point him in the right direction.

Sam Bradford has to know his days are numbered as a Philadelphia Eagle.  He will get the chance to show the rest of the league what he can do, then the Birds will be able to trade him for draft picks or good players.

If Bradford has a great year, it will put the Eagles in a great situation because teams will be climbing over each other to make a deal with them. Having too many good quarterbacks isn’t a problem in the NFL.  On the other hand, if he doesn’t play well, then it legitimates the Birds having moved up to get their “Franchise Quarterbacks”.

RAMS BETTER BE TAKING GOFF, ALTHOUGH I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD

Scouting Report From NFL.com

Tall with an athletic, proportional build that is made for the NFL position. Played in a pro-­style attack with plenty of snaps under center. Asked to make NFL throws and showed he could do it. Stands tall in the pocket and delivers with a relatively high release point. Keeps ball high and tight in the pocket and can uncork it quickly with tight, sharp release and little wasted motion. Throws catchable ball with tight spiral. Naturally accurate passer. Sees lurking linebackers underneath and throws receivers open to safest spot in the passing window. Able to change arm slots and still throw a strike. Has plus deep ball accuracy and touch. Calm in pocket and has no problems sitting in and taking a hit to complete a pass. Excelled in structured passing attack that required him to read the entire field. Has athleticism to escape pressure and hurt defenses with his legs. Already able to feel pressure on the edges and slide around in pocket without dropping his eyes. Adept in play-­action game at selling fakes and quickly finding safeties to help determine where to go with the ball. Intelligent with long list of academic achievements. Should be able to process and handle an NFL playbook quickly. Can play pitch and catch all day long against zone coverage.

What He Said

“First and foremost you got to win. I think being a winner in the NFL, that will take you place for sure. I think for me coming out of North Dakota State I think the track record speaks for itself as a winner. So when I think of a franchise quarterback not only do I think of the physical ability, but I think of being a winner, winning ballgames, taking command, being a leader. All those things come to mind.” – Carson Wentz on what defines a franchise quarterback

Now Howie has to hope Goff and Wentz don’t Joel Embiid his foot or knee before the draft. I think a Clemson OT tore his knee a couple years ago working out for a team before the draft.

The writing has been on the wall all along. Roseman was masterful at the execution. 1st he gets into the top 10 by trading cap gobbling bums, to be within striking distance and without gutting the team for the foreseeable future, or trading Cox. Next, he signs Bradford to essentially a one year deal, not as insurance against injury, but as insurance in case he can’t trade up to get up to get his guy. It’s called hedging your bet. This way, if Bradford somehow was able to recapture his junior year at Oklahoma, the deal could be extended, but in the more likely scenario he continued to play mediocre football, or the birds could move up to get their guy, he can easily be traded in the present, or cut in the future with little penalty. Now the contract given to Pederson 2.0 (Daniels) makes sense. He is a place holder in 2016 and a system savvy back-up beyond that. Next years 1st stings a little, but overall, mostly mid-round picks. I feel one or more of Barwin/Bradford/Graham/Agholor get traded draft day, to recoup a few mid rounds picks, which is primarily what was given up. Have to think the Birds have a handshake agreement with Rams that they are taking Goff and we get Wentz. My excitement will dwindle immensely if this move was for Goff, I want Wentz. Is there a chance it won’t work out, sure there is. But it was a risk worth taking IMO. Call Chip and tell him he can have Bradford back for a 2.

I hope the Eagles get Wentz as well. I was also thinking the Eagles probably (HAD to) did their due diligence and checked with the Rams BEFORE making that deal with the Browns. Word in NFL circles seemed to be that the Eagles were in love with Wentz. Nothing to gain for the Rams by to lying to the Eagles since all the Eagles could do is not make the presentation to the Browns if their guy wasn’t going to be available and, besides, it would be morally unethical if they did. BTW, I think Chip Kelly would take that deal in a heartbeat.

At some time after the draft the Eagles’ Brass is going to have to have a NC to “re-prioritize” expectations for this year.

Fix the “mistake” Pederson made when he began talking about playoffs in his opening PC. Because that shouldn;t be the goal this year.

This will be a learning year.

Lets be realistic:
Rookie QB
New O and D co-ordinators/new systems
New RB
5 (6? 7?) new free agents.

This isn’t coming together right away.

Eagles brass has to be honest about this, to help create an atmosphere that will allow these massive new (and young) changes the best chance to succeed.

I’m cautious, but excited for the first time in a long time. This is suddenly a young team that can develop.

2016 Learning
2017 Growing pains
2018 – 2025 Lets go!

If things work out…..Mattews, Ertz, Agholor, and Wentz all entering their primes together in a couple years…..

fingers crossed.

NFL fans are all sheep. Theres collusion, back room deals and shady shit that goe son. The Eagles knew a month ago they were getting a QB that’s why I stated it is very odd that they signed all those FAs. They already knew they wouldn’t have draft picks. There was a hand shake weeks ago.

why would Howie sign Bradford and Daniels then?
He is going to make at least 2 horrible decisions between these 3. At the minimum 2 of these 3 were Huge mistakes.
——————————————————————-
a.)Sam Bradford-22 million for a chronically injured QB
b.)Chase Daniels- 7 million for 77 total career passes
c.)Carson Wentz-5 draft picks & 2 players (Maxwell and Kiko) 7 players for him.
———————————————–
Howie’s been accepting a lot of atta-boy back pats around here for trading away bad fits and/or contracts ( Murray, Maxwell, Kiko) well there are at least 2 really bad moves he now has to spin out of his own.

Howie signed Bradford for 1 year just in case the back room deal was reniged on. He had a fall back plan. 1 if he didn’t move up Bradford was a least a option moving forward. If the deal went through he could just cut Bradford after one year or move him next year to try to recoup the draft picks he knew he would lose. Then everyone asked why Daniels, why so much? Presto Daniels will mentor Wentz, be aa coach on the field to Wentz and be a valuable backup and starter if need be with Wentz. Brilliant

Chase Daniels because HC Doug Pederson wanted him on his Team to help teach/mentor a young QB his System & Philosophy..
HC Pederson does not know Bradford well, and GM Roseman & Pederson probably would have never re-signed Sam Bradford to begin with if they knew they could get up to #8 with the Dolphins Deal ..
Also the Risk was if Bradford left inFree-Agency and no Other Deals were made with Dolphins, then the chance of getting atop Rated Pick/QB would have been more difficult to achieve..
Chase Daniel is Pederson’s eyes and ears in terms of the Offense and QB

Especially in the era of the new CBA when film and on field time between coaches and players is severely limited.

From what I understand there are no restrictions for players to head out onto the field “themselves” and practice.

So Daniels is the “player/coach” that can spend the time with Wentz installing the offence that Pederson and staff cannot.

Who cares how much he got… Do note that as 1st time HC, Doug Pederson will have many more duties than overseeing the QB’s or Offense.. He even stated this iswhy he surrounded himself with a quality and experienced Coaching Staff
As I stated, Chase Daniels will be Pederson’s eyes and ears for Carson Wentz over these next 2 Years as Pederson learns the craft and duties of being a HC in the NFL which we all know is more than simply Coaching X’s & O’s ..

I still don’t get arguing over funny money, which is all sports is, FUNNY MONEY– also, I have an issue with harping on salary, it screams jealousy- There is not one free agent out there that we want to sign that we can’t afford– the plan is clear– bradford is an expensive bridge,if he does what his supporters think he can do and lead the eagles into the playoffs this year then the eagles have a pleasant problem. They have a ‘proven’ veteran guy in a QB starved league, along with a guy they believe to be the future–PERFECT- as for daniels eyes and ears thing– I think thats a little overblown but yeah i’m sure in the qb room it helps to have another guy that has been immersed in the system.

I gotta agree with Big about the jealousy things. Tired argument. We are are resigned to the fact that these guys make obscene amounts of money. What I am more concerned with is how much cap money is spent towards a player. 7 million dollars committed out of your cap money to a back up QB is ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

They spent on FA this year– the money is not an issue– jealousy wasn’t the right word– just seems like a stupid argument- the one thing with howie, i will agree i question his talent evaluation but I don’t question his cap handling.

If Bradford plays very well and the Eagles made a Deep Playoff Run in 2016 because of his play, then you Keep Bradford for 2017 and then have Wentz ready to hit the ground running to Play for 2018…
Wentz is a 10-12-14 Year Investment.. whats another Season if the Eagles are Winning Playoffs Games and Competing for Championships with Bradford?
If Bradford Plays Well individually in 2016 but the Team still is mediocre, then you Trade Bradford next Off-Season for Draft Picks in Return and if Bradford played at the High Level in 2016, then the Eagles would gbet multiple Picks back for QB’s are always in demand and would be a great problem to have…
Despite what the Fans may think or want because of the Trade up to #2,
Coach Pederson and Co are going to use all their Options at QB before sending a young QB out onto the Field before he’s ready…
If Eagles Start out 2-8 in 2016, then we may see Wentz in 2016
Chances are that the Eagles will be battling for a Playoff Spot in the NFC East with Bradford at the helm for there is no dominant Team in the NFC East and 9 to 10 Wins gets the Division Title and automatic Playoff Spot
If Pederson and Company can achieve this while grooming a Young QB for the Future, that would be the best scenario anyone could have dreamed of.
Wentz will not be playing in 2016 unless Injuries to Bradford/Daniels or if the Team really stinks and plays like a dog and gets eliminated by Thanksgiving then maybe we will see Wentz in December but besides this, it will be 2017 before we see Wentz on the Field in a meaningful game..

“IF” that happens (and before we continue can we all not admit its a pretty big “IF” as there is nothing in Bradford’s history to show its possible – but I’ll roll with the premise for kicks)

“If” that happens, then we have to applaud Howie Roseman for “buying insurance” on Bradford’s last deal.

Roseman protected the Eagles for esxactly this scenariio. Instead of tagging Bradford and paying him 19.9, he worked out a 22 million dollar contrace.

The Eagles paid what amounts to a 2.1 million dollar insurance premium in case Bradford lights it up.

If that happens, t5he Eagles have options as they control his rights for much less than it would have taken to “re-tag” Bradford in 2017.

Think of it, “IF” Bradford lights it up, they have him for about, what? $13 mill (real money – not cap $$) next year?? That’s better than the 20 they would have had to pay if they were tagging him a 2nd time. Also, they control his rights, so if he plays well he becomes a tradeable asset.

That 2.1 million dollar insurance premium protects the Eagles from exactly the scenario you propose. Bradford plays well and Eagles can trade him or keep him at a low $13.

And….if he sucks (a much more likely scenario) then he is easily cut.

I hope Sam Bridgeford plays very well this season. That will increase his trade value, that way we can recoup some of the picks we lost in the trade. Chip felt he was worth a two, so maybe next year the 49ers will want him, especially with Chip at the helm.

people think sams gonna sit all year, but if his hopeless ass plays like he did last year and them merch sales are down and everyone leaving in the 3rd qtr again the kids coming in. dont get it twisted this is a business and the owner wants/needs asses in seats and in lines

At the horizon ,and foresee very twist and turn …I agree with Daggs assertion ,this all was constructed a while back..after chip waddled out the door ….”clean upon aisle 7 ” began.

Final blue print ..Plan A ..move Sam ..move in Chase Daniels ( in KC ) he outplayed the starter in pre season ..he’s a perfect game manager who is a professional stopgap…I’m on record he’s better than Sam ..now ..why. ? He knows the system ..he’s a mentor (big) I agree with you ..that’s a lot of $$ for a mentor …you could get the Maharishi for less ..but it’s ARs blueprint ..Pedersons sale pitch to Jeffrey was a “hallmark pitch” remember the good old days ..and Lurie after a stormy marriage with chip needed solace …it’s a perfect fit,as howie is balling …after having his masculinity challenged ..he’s got King Kong sized ones ..hilarious ..he’s taken the duck by the tail ..think about the slop on a toast we had here ..he’s at least turned it into From yesterday’s hash into a tasty buffet …with a main course as the second pick…my greatest drama is wether the Rams worm on the birds on the clock and say. I think we changed. Our minds we love Wentz…

Its booked…desert…Sam should be on the first thing smoking so we can all see the franchise…the hot shot rookie you are all so excited about

The Franchise…Carson Wentz

He needs reps…you gotta get him on the field

Let him take his lumps

I hope that ya’ll are all right..and bust my ass all the way to an Eagles Super Bowl…pass the mustard for that crow and I’ll eat it with a smile

But If this kid cant play…you know…you will hearing from me because I strongly believe this is the move that has doomed Howie and Pederson….

Book it!!

Kool – you have to get yourself a new Eagles Jersey now, maybe purchase a few Carson Wentz Jersey’s for your family members too.
Wentz wore #11 at North Dakota.
Eagle website has WR Chris Givens listed with number 11. Wonder how that shakes out because you know the very next day after the draft, maybe even the day of the draft at their official fan draft party Carson Wentz Jerseys will be for sale at the Linc. What number does he where?

Naw..I’ll pass on that eagles0superbowls…maybe I’ll buy his jersey when you can put a 1 between Eagles and Superbowls…

For a Superbowl…I would so love to be wrong about this kid

But I think what we have is Nick Foles Part II

When I read that a guy was slow reading Division 1 AA defenses and was holding the ball down on that level, I wonder what is going to make him a sharp reader of defenses on the NFL level…

We need to prove me wrong quickly…by getting the kid out on the field and watching him improve.

I know he aint gonna get better at that by sitting on the bench while his teammates rally around Sam Bradford…
