Philly deadline to get under the cap: Nick Foles

Depends on the package and timing of the Foles Trade. 

 

I am not giving up a 1st or 2nd for Foles. 

 

 

Huh, agree.  I think if we grade the QBs and like two and can't get them...then Foles is a nice option and we can give up more for him.  Two picks (between this year and next) and no first rounders would be solid.  Then we can work the draft this year too!

 

I think my favourite options are...

 

1. Mayfield

2. Rosen

3. Foles

I question how he'll be perceived in an NFL room with the cocky attitude and I do have some concerns on how consistent he can be as a pocket QB with his size and limited athleticism at the NFL level.  I'd give him a shot, but he's no 100% sure thing. 

 

All the reports are he's like Garappolo, someone people just gravitate towards.  He apparently has the knack for saying the right thing at the right time to defuse a situation (the Ohio State players on the Senior Bowl bus report).  I think he'll be fine.

 

I'm more concerned by the vetted reports that he reads everything that is written about him, carries it around, and uses it as fuel.  That can be motivational, but if he struggles and the negativity from fans and press stacks up , it can also be a heavy weight for a guy to bear, and potentially a bad look if he "claps back".

Totally too many moving parts.  The most important piece to me is to have a great evaluation on the QBs in the draft and available in the league already.  That is the key to making the best play.

 

Yes but there is way too much to play out.....

 

Do they want Kirk, or Nick.  Maybe another FA

 

What QBs in the draft are worth giving up several picks for?  I dont know, I think they do. I hope.  

 

Paying several picks to get the 3rd or 4th best QB in this draft may not make the team any better.

I think the Foles ship, if it's going to sail, will have sailed for a new port by draft time.  The major benefits driving the Eagles to trading him now (if that's their choice) are cap space and draft picks, two things they sorely lack and might be willing to part with their "QB insurance policy" to solve.  Once the cap is solved and the draft over with, why not hang onto him until you see for sure Wentz is back?

Yeah, 27 TDs and 2 INTs!!

That is a lot of success in two different offenses multiple years apart.  I am not saying we need Foles.  But, he is not just a journeyman QB to me.  He is still young and has upside too.  But, don't get me wrong, he is not my first pick.

If I was them that is what I am doing as well. I am not moving my BU until Wentz is back on the field.

He's the very definition of a journeyman at 29 years old who has been on three teams in an up and down career.

That is certainly the way I see it.  Bradford should be a "cautionary tale" to the danger of bringing a guy back too quickly. 

And if they move Foles, Wentz isn't ready, and Sudfeld struggles, they'll look like fools.

Actually its not. Foles was TT this season until playoffs when Eagles essentially reused Chips offense that made him successful in 2013.

If I was the Eagles, Foles would be the LAST piece I move for cap space.  They have a small window with this roster and wouldn't move on from Foles unless they had too OR the offer was too good!

He has had more success than not on his journey.

I have no interest in Foles. Go get a top rookie

 

Agreed...It would be one thing if the Bills could land Foles on the cheap as a bridge guy...But his market value could not possibly be higher at this point...

 

It's a hard pass for me...B-)

Not exactly. He's had one excellent season and one hot playoff stretch.

Does he play like a Super Bowl MVP on a consistent basis?  Nope!

Who does that’s available?? silly statement!! He’s the best possible player to make the Bills better at that position. There is no QB in the draft that you can say is going to be better than him. A couple of them may be but right now they don’t have a NFL resume. Nick Foles is not a top 5 QB but should be in the discussion of  the lower end of top 10 (8th, 9th, or 10th). The Bills can trade for him using one of our firsts and maybe a lower pick or a 2019 4th we received from the Chiefs for Reggie Ragland. That way we will have a solid QB with money next year to resign him if he plays well. You would still have pick 21, 53, 56, 65, and 95 to help to solidify our defense and  add a OL or WR. And although I liked TT, Foles would be a solid upgrade to a important position to a team that made the playoffs last year.

Nicks value is best before/ during the draft. Eagles will want players this year,  and QB needy teams will want to have a plan before waiting for  the draft to play out.  

 

 

Agreed.  He will be traded before the draft or not at all.  Unless they can't get under the cap any other way.

What's silly is arguing against a true statement.

He had a great year with Chip K. and looked rough with with Rams. On their playoff run and in the Super Bowl he outplayed Tom* Brady*.

 

Id still get a rookie if we went after him, but the guy deserves some credit.

He does and I think I would like a veteran QB....6 picks in first 96 can get a lot of top talent

Except these conversations have been had. The Bills know the price to get up to get their guy. The Bills have loaded up their war chest to do just that. It would be SHOCKING if the Bills did anything else at this point to address QB.

 

They aren't going to overpay for Foles’ hot streak. It isn’t like Jimmy G where he played great as soon as the chance presented itself. Foles has a pretty long resume and it is wildly inconsistent. The playoffs last year and the one year with Kelly were great. He’s been pretty much bad the rest of the time. I have no interest in spending on that resume. Give me Rosen or Baker or Darnold and roll. Try to get top end QB play not good enough QB play. It’s the exact reason that you pass on Cousins too.

 

21,22, 56 and next year’s 2 to go into the top 5. 

  The only way that trade works is if at least two of the Fab 4 appear to be sliding down below pick 6 and maybe down to 14 or 15.  In that case more teams will choose to conserve picks for a player who might be just slightly lesser in their minds than one who may go 2-4.  With some of the post senior season luster gone and a chance for teams to poke and prod at the combine it is looking like there is a better chance that the top QB's will not cluster at the top of the draft.

ANSWER ONE QUESTION FOR ME PLEASE!!!!!

 

How many QBs in this years draft are worth the 3 #1s it COULD cost.  

absolutely no way this can be answered.   nobody,  scouts,  GMs,   family members,  you, I,  nobody knows what these kids will do in the league.

Kirby, I don't think it's as definite as that.  The Bills likely have an idea what the price is, but at this point any draft trade-ups are highly dependent on what the trade partner 1) does in FA 2) concludes after further evaluation of the top prospects that interest them 3) gets offered by other teams - as well as what the Bills conclude after further evaluation of the top prospects they'd trade for, and the ones they could possibly get by staying put.  It's all conditional and speculative at this point for the teams - it has to be. 

 

I see Foles differently, but that's because 1) he interests me 2) I live in St Louis.  Foles played well in KC when he got the call. 

I wouldn't count his year with the Rams against him - or against Case Keenum.  You had to look at it "up close and personal" to see how bad it was.

The Rams "wonderful" OC the Foles/Keenum years is now our TE coach.  Since he's the dude who benched Foles, he possibly has an opinion and some influence?

 

The Foles conundrum is what changed for him between 2013 and 2014.  I have my ideas, but only from a 10,000 ft view.

Nice. Let's hold them to your Foles standard. 

 

Copy and paste me some data that proves they will play "consistently at a Super Bowl MVP level", your knock on Foles earlier, and I'll buy your "logic".

:lol: Good one.  Buy it or not, matters not to me.  Ah yes! Journeyman dreams. Carry on.

Or Jackson!! With 6 picks in the first 3 rds, the Bills can improve the team astronomically. QB, LB, DT, OL, RB, WR. In that order. DBs, OL with remaining picks

No way the Bills trade Taylor then draft basically the same skill set. When the Bills traded Taylor I knew Jackson was crossed off their QB board.
