You dummy......They get Carolinas 1st round pick next season and will still get the Safety they want in the second round...Carolina gave up alot and Philly will be rooting for a Carolina collapse this season...Carolina 0-16 Cmon baby!
I thought it was a great move. First, they get a lot for the pick
including a 1st round pick next year and a second this year.
Second, there is no stud WR in this draft, so they can get a guy
with one of their 2 second round picks.
Yeah we have needs, but who's off the board that we would have drafted? Nobody. Reid and co know what they are doing, and we'll move back up and get the guy we want.
The talent level for players ranked 16-32 are not as high as previous drafts. That group of players is closer to the 33-60 talent than 1-15. So instead of needing to pay first round money to second round talent. Now the Eagles have 2 picks in the 2nd round from the same talent group at a lower price, plus a 4th this year and Carolina's 1 next year. Does anybody seriously think THAT pick wont be a top 15 pick next year?
This of couse gives Philly greater firepower for trading for an Anquan Boldin or Roy Williams should they decide to bargain one of their now 2 first rounders next year.
Brilliant move by Philly, Carolina gave up waaaay to much. Does it really take a rocket scientist to see this??
