#1
#1
#2
#4

I would do it... reminds me of the 49ers' in 85 or 86

Draft would look like this
# 28 IN THE FIRST
# 31 IN THE FIRST
# 37 IN THE 2ND
# 63 IN THE 2ND
# 68 IN THE 3RD

But eales are not this dumb are they

I don't think they're that dumb, unless for some reason they believe that they are one Michael Crabtree away from a championship.

Larry Fitzgerald did show them what an elite play maker can do.

So you know you have your #'s wrong, Philly has #21 (800 points there own), #28 (660 Carolina's), #53 (370)) #117 (60)

= 1890 points, which our pick is worth 1800 points. If they add their 3rd rounder and we add our third rounder we get #85 (165 points) but we lose #68 (250 points)

Eagles would be giving up #21, 28, 53, 85, 117 for #4, 68

that's 2055 for 2050 pretty fair. According to the chart, however usually people trading down have to give up more. So since we don't have a 5th round pick, I think we'd be better off just swapping their 4th for a 5th .

21 28 53 85 149 for 4 and 68.

I'd do it.

... or something. There would have to be a particular player they're targeting. At WR they have Jackson and Curtis and pretty good depth with Baskett/Avant/Lewis; at CB they have Samuel and Brown; they're not drafting a QB or a RB. They could probably use a good linebacker or two, and maybe a second defensive end to play opposite Trent Cole, but you don't trade up to #4 for those needs in this draft. Maybe they look for a long-term replacement for Tra Thoams? But I can't see why they'd take this kind of extreme measure as long as Thomas is healthy and productive. The Iggles seem like a good bet to stay where they are and go BPA with their picks.
