Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Wow. Moving from #20 to #1 or #2? The Eagles will be left with nothing after that trade goes through CBF Worked for New Orleans With this in mind, would you be interested in offering them something for Foles? If we gave them our #2 pick this year or our #1 next year, they could use that as ammo for their attempt to get Mariotta. Not saying that I would do this, just raising it as a discussion point. I'd do a third Edited January 20, 2015 by Buffalo Barbarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Is either Tampa or Tennessee likely to take Foles over a chance at Winston or Mariota? Would seem odd to me that. I think more likely Tennessee tries to get Cutler for their 2nd rounder and then tries to deal their 2nd overall pick to the highest bidder. Foles and a King's Ransom over a rookie QB with big question marks about his system? I would take Foles and the many picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaninATL Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 @ProFootballTalk: Report: Chip Kelly already plotting to move up for Marcus Mariota http://t.co/I6eJpshMRE Nick Foles likes snow Blue Horseshoe loves Anacott Steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog69 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think the Bills will be aggressive in finding a new QB and this is a reasonable target. I would not be surprised if some sort of deal is worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If I were Tampa I'd demand a number of first round draft picks and a key player or two. I'd tell Philly if they don't do it, we're taking Mariota in case they try to trade up with Tennessee or someone else. Draft picks are just too hit or miss to not include proven players.

nemhoff Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If this were going to happen with the Titans I would see something like: Foles 2015 1st round, 2nd round, 4th round 2016 1st round, 2nd round, 5th round maybe even a 2017 pick as well. It is going to be more than the RG3 trade with the Rams a few years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm living in the Philly area and fan reaction, other than one radio announcer, is "are you crazy? We have a secondary almost as bad as the Jets! We cut DeSean Jackson and never upgraded. Our O-line is aging! Foles had a 27:2 TD:INT ratio in 2013, and we were killing it before he broke his collarbone. Why would we give all that up for Mariota" Just a local perspective.

Mr. WEO Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Wow Whoever has that pick can get so much out of it! I would tell Chip 3 first round d picks and 2 second round picks. Also later determined picks if he makes the playoffs 3rd or 5th. Yeah--5+ picks. Good luck with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Agreed...4th is as high as I'd go. I'll say this: if they re-sign Sanchez this off-season, I'll fully expect Foles to be on the move. What I haven't seen anyone explain is why they would re-sign Sanchez, who got $2.25M reportedly, when they have Foles already signed for $660k. Even if you don't think Foles is your guy, he's shown he can play in the NFL and you always need a capable backup, esp. with a rookie QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 i think it's nuts too. I could see Kelly doing it though. Quite possibly. The big story here is that Chip Kelly successfully did what Marrone tried to do, because he had a 20-12 record to show for it. He *could* bet the farm. If so, I just hope they keep Foles so we can make a run at him. I think it's worth mentioning: Foles was a third round pick, and made it to the Pro Bowl last year. You *can* find average to above average QB talent in the 3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The Price will be MUCH higher then that. The Price will be MUCH higher then that. At least two number ones if not three would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm assuming Tampa will take Jameis. Considering the Titans Qb situation (or lack there of), I'd have believe they'd want Foles as part of the package. Foles, pick #20, #53 & conditional '15 pick for #2? Shoot, if that's all it takes teams will lineup to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The report is BS. A single anonymous source. The source is probably the writer's favorite teddy bear. If it's not true, everyone will forget about it. If it is true, they will plaster it everywhere about how connected they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Tennessee has way too many other holes to fill to keep picking QBs. I'm betting they'll hitch their wagon to Mettenberger before taking another QB in the higher rounds. They need help all over the place But you don't get the #2 overall pick with a franchise QB available very often. If they think Mariota is the real deal then they'd be crazy not to draft him.

217014170 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Trades involving draft picks should not be allowed. The draft order is in place as a parity tool. Teams have gotten themselves in trouble time after time bundling draft picks in the hope to get better quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
