Eagles plotting to get Mariota

[schuylkilli_igg]

Yeah, because Mark Eckel writes it in

Free Agency will be telling. Although, If they get and start Mariota in '15, does that reset expectations?

one of his remedial articles that makes it true. Just Eckel throwing shit at the wall to try and be relevant. Guys a hack.

I do believe

2001 Mitchell - BUST
2002 Sheppard - OK
2003 McDougle - BUST
2004 Andrews - JAGOFF
2005 Patterson - meh
2006 Bunkley - JAGOFF
2007 None - Klob 2d Round #36
2008 None - Laws 2d Round #47
2009 Maclin - Hit
2010 Graham - CHUMP
2011 Watkins - JAGOFF
2012 Cox - Hit
2013 L. Johnson - OK
2014 M. Smith - CHUMP

That Graham has redeemed himself to at least "meh" status. I'd actually put him at OK.

I give him chump because it took more than three seasons to even get on the field with any regularity. That's a player who was picked earlier than he should have been. Three years of little to no production from a first round pick is Chump Street.

The Eagles would have to give up a ton of picks and maybe some blue chip players to move up to 1 or 2. Those types of trades typically don't work out for the teams who give up the picks.

I think this is just a crazy rumor and I pray it is. Because if the Eagles were to make a Washington type deal with Tampa they are courting disaster. If they make that type of trade lets start talking Urban Meyer or whoever the next head coach is going to be. That secondary is a bad as they get and they're not fixing it through free agency alone or with 4th round picks. If it was an easy fix it wouldn't be as bad as it is. That secondary has been bad for a long time now. A trade like that helped the Cowboys win three Super Bowls.

I don't think it will happen and don't think it should happen.

The only way I think it will happen is if they trade up to #1 or #2 and players such as Nick Foles and B Boykin are traded as part of the deal. Otherwise they'd have to give up too much for a current playoff contender.

If Foles is traded, presumably some type of sign n trade, I assume Sanchez is resigned for a year to be the starter at the beginning of the year.

Eckel had good sources (probably Modrak or one of his assistants) a century ago. Not anymore.

Problem with this team is not QB. If the secondary had only been average, we would have made the playoffs. Keep Foles and draft secondary starters.

Can't really argue there

He's come around, but it did take him a long time to do it.
