smart team with a real GM. we should try that.
So smart that they are the ones who drafted the stone cold bust. In the first round.Getting picks for a stone cold bust. Smart team.
As with Wentz, they know when to cut bait. Hell, you could argue they got more for a flat out bust than we got for Cooper.So smart that they are the ones who drafted the stone cold bust. In the first round.
So, in two years time, the Eagles essentially traded a 1st for a 4th and 7th. They are brilliant.
It's called making the best of a bad situation. Meanwhile, we'll hold on to Hill and Joseph like grim death.So, in two years time, the Eagles essentially traded a 1st for a 4th and 7th. They are brilliant.
Gun to my head, I would rather draft well than trade well. If you draft well you have more potential years with the player. In a trade, you're almost always looking at 3-4 years wear on the player.It was a bad pick but they're at least proactive and creative when it comes to managing their roster and entertaining trades. Our dumbass front office is more than happy to live in a completely isolated silo and telegraphing their intentions from a mile away to every team in the league, thus torpedoing any trade value that might exist (Cooper and especially Collins).

But... But... It's the Eagles, and THEY ARE LAPPING US!!On top that, they had to trade a 1st and 3rd for AJ Brown to make up for Reagor being a bust.
Getting a 4th (maybe) and a 7th doesn't nearly make up for it.

Biggest difference is that when they make a draft mistake, they compensate through FA and trades.But... But... It's the Eagles, and THEY ARE LAPPING US!!

Remind me: how many picks did we get for Taco? Oh right.Biggest difference is that when they make a draft mistake, they compensate through FA and trades.
