If this is true and Mariota drops to them at 10, things could get interesting.

If it's true. At this point, everything is a smokescreen.

Absolutely

If he gets past the Jets, the Rams seem like a logical partner. Moving 10 spots a heck of a lot easier than moving 17 or more.

If they re-sign Sanchez like some have speculated, the smoke becomes thicker.

"A report today with sources "familiar with the situation" says that there is at least one team, and likely more, interested in making a deal with the Eagles for Foles' services if the Eagles made him available."

Enrico I'm sure a number of teams are interested. LOL it never ceases to amaze me the number of clueless sports writers that report such trash and Eagles fans the eat it up.

"Eagles would clearly then have to make a huge splash to land a starter early in the draft which would likely energize the fanbase."

Enrico how about improving a sad defensive backfield, getting a NT that does what a NT should do. Oh yeah and having an OL relatively healthy, and your starting QB healthy the entire season and winning the Div the Conf and going to the super bowl to energize clueless writers like you Enrio and the part of the fanbase that are clueless.

Wonder if the Rams would take Cooper too? That would be cool.

[Sect 236]

You're still on this nose tackle thing? Every analyst, fan, Eagles' front office member and Eagles' coach thinks they're good to go with the DTs they have. Let it go man.

You take it as some kind of personal insult when people don't agree with your vision for the Eagles draft. What mock draft version are you on now? Version 20?

Also, I'm pretty sure Enrico didn't hear you.

[Pete]

Not for the scratch he's making

Wonder if the Rams would take Cooper too? That would be cool.

Something like $6.5 million?

[CCPete]

Wouldn't they need to have Mariota locked up before getting rid of Foles? They can't trade Foles and hope.

[Riccardo]

They are fooles

I agree, but short of an offseason injury how does Mariota drop to 10?

Is Nick Foles really worth enough at this point to take the sting out of the number of picks required to move up that far? Is he worth more than a high 2nd?

I assume the team would require Nick to sign an extension as well. Why would Nick agree to that unless he really wanted to play there. In a year Nick might have an opportunity to go "home" and play for the Texans or nearby Arizona where he played college ball. Those teams have better defenses than the birds. He'd certainly make the Texans a better team and possibly a playoff contender.

wonder what you could get for a #10 overall and a #20 overall

just looked. It seems it gets you a #3 overall

So... Eagles #1 plus Rams #2 for Mariotta?

[Sect 236]

In this hypothetical world, there is no way the Rams are trading you #10 for Foles straight up. It would be more realistic to expect to get #10 for Foles and #20, plus another pick, but not straight up.

LOL ok your opinion -- personally I see undersized Logan is a better fit at DE in this system he is to undersized to dominate two blockers as a dominate NT should. Allen can hardly dominate one blocker let alone two provides little pressure up the middle with ordinary bull rush. Clue for you how many times did you see Cox plugged in the middle in certain situations.
Ph
Keep thinking the NT position isnt a problem personally I cant wait till the find a true dominate NT. They cover this using the an OSLb to help much of the time ending up with essentially a 4-3 alignment.

Doubt they will have a shot at Sheldon or Goldman maybe at 20 most likely would have to move up. Rather they take best available CB or S in the first round, then grab either Philips or McCarthy in the second round --- third round back to the d backfield there will be some good Cbs availabe == Shaw USC is one that comes to mind.

Logan and Cox DEs one of those big boys in the middle to occupy two blockers --- and apply pressure -- Philips and McCarthy have the tools to be a dominant Nose Tackle == Curry and Thornton rotating in at DE and Allen Nose back up

They need to cut Huff, Maehl, brad Smith, Fletcher, Willams. Restructure or Cut Cole, Ryans , Herremans
Restructure McCoy if he is willing he seems open to it

Sign Maclin, Graham,Sanchez, Thornton, Polk - go after safety.McCourty and either McPhee or Worilds

[Sect 236]

If you think taking a tackle in the first round over CB or S is a prudent move, I can't help you. I don't know what mock draft site you're stealing this opinion from, but I wish they would change their mind so we don't have to keep reading you calling people idiots who think QB is potentially a problem on this team while simultaneously telling us a widely recognized strength is a weakness.

Edit to add: I guess it's your Madden mentality that tells you that you have to have a player "ranked" in the 90s at every position to be considered complete.

A rotation of Logan, Allen and Curry at tackle is perfect for a team that puts their D on the field as much as the Eagles do. They have a group of talented players at tackle that they can rotate as the situation dictates. I'm shocked I'm having this conversation with anyone who claims to comprehend football.

[Drama Queen]

This article is nothing but conjecture.

If available, a lot of teams would be interested in Foles.

No shit.
