The Chargers will now have their pick of the best players in the draft

 

[Pepiope]

Nice trade on paper for the Browns but if the Eagles get Goff then he's guaranteed to become a hall of famer because the Browns passed on him

I'm pretty certain it's Tunsil.

Why spend $30 mill on QBs this year if you're gonna trade the fuck up for one too!?

Nope, welcome to Philly Tunsil

 

[Wes]

Didn't know this Cleveland Browns Director of Football Research, Kevin Meers wrote the 2011 piece on how to value draft picks.

Read that a few days ago. People think it means we'll accept less as a result.

What it actually means is that today's trading values appear to be hyper inflated, to the betterment of the team that trades down.

 

[LyleLanley]

lol at that trade.

 

[VeryGooster]

Well then!

That happened!

 

[Officerrob]

I'm pretty certain it's Tunsil.

Why spend $30 mill on QBs this year if you're gonna trade the fuck up for one too!?

Nope, welcome to Philly Tunsil

You don't make that trade unless it's for a QB

 

[jbug617]

Nice trade Browns

 

[Pepiope]

You don't make that trade unless it's for a QB

We're not that stupid to trade up for a QB after the offseason we've had.

 

[Goro Majima]

:jnc Eagles

If it's for anything other than Tunsil, I don't understand the whole Bradford thing

 

[yankeehater]

Is it to late to fire Howie and bring chip back?

 

[JABEE]

I am reeling.

Carson Wentz better turn out to be Andrew Luck or Aaron Rodgers.

 

[jbug617]

Who would of thought that Goff and Wentz are going to be #1 and #2.

 

[bigkrev]

.....
I hate this trade
Is Chip still in charge?

 

[rando14]

BG WE DID IT!! WE EATIN OUT HERE

Fuck this team.

Hey

 

[Brinbe]

DA FUCK

Guess Wentz is an Eagle! The Rams are sure as fuck taking the Cali boy in Goff.

Carson better pan out now, Christ... Paxton fucking Lynch will probably end up being a better QB in the end too. ='I

 

[Goro Majima]

Schefter seems to believe 100% that it's going to be either Goff or Wentz.

Does Philly somehow know what LA is going to do? Or are they really saying the either QB is fine and worth that haul of picks?

 

[Officerrob]

We're not that stupid to trade up for a QB after the offseason we've had.

I believe you are about to be surprised at your teams stupidity then

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Yeah I have zero idea what the Iggles are doing.

On the one hand, you can't trade all that to move up unless you're going to get a QB.

On the other, you can't trade all that to get a QB when you just spent 30 mil on the position


(Full disclosure: I still think a fifteen year starter is so valuable that you're justified to do whatever you can to get him, but still why resign Bradford and bring in Daniel if you liked one of the draft guys that much?)

 

[RBH]

*waves hello to Eagles-GAF*

 

[Kave_Man]

ITS A NEW DAY YES IT IS!!!!

 

[Himynameischris]

Who would of thought that Goff and Wentz are going to be #1 and #2.

And none to the browns!!!!!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Eagles going full stupid.

 

[Officerrob]

Who would of thought that Goff and Wentz are going to be #1 and #2.

The desperation for QB is real, no matter how mediocre they are coming out

 

[Wes]

Woooo! I'm happy with that trade.

I get to actively root against the Eagles every week next year. Life is full of little bonuses.

 

[CrocMother]

HAHAHAHHAAAAAA

 

[DMczaf]

wait what?

browns.....win?

 

[chuckddd]

Appropriate Browns reaction:

Appropriate gaf reaction to Iggles-gaf:

 

[Talamius]

Good lord Eagles.

We're not that stupid to trade up for a QB after the offseason we've had.

GET UP AND DANCE, CLEVELAND!! It's a new day

The player doesn't matter. The point is that chip tried to trade up to #2 for a qb and failed, and now Howie has done it. I am sure in his little mind he has now surpassed chip.

 

[Juicy Bob]

NO DOUG WHAT ARE YOU DOING

 

[DMczaf]

Kave and BG showin up in this thread like

 

[Eleuin]

Give up the farm for the more mediocre scrap brehs

 

[Bitanator]

So Dallas is getting Ramsey or Elliot for sure now

 

[WesternHeretic]

Hey good job Cleveland more picks for you to screw up on! Good job Eagles another QB that's going to fail in your city.

Great day for Football and America!

 

[JABEE]

The only saving grace in all of this is that we made the trade with the Browns. Wentz will turn into Big Ben or Luck.

EDIT: BREAD!

 

[VeryGooster]

Kevin Costner makin' moves y'all

We're not that stupid to trade up for a QB after the offseason we've had.

Their official write-up pretty much guarantees they're taking a QB:

http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/n...y-Eagles/6a8e8a4b-c1f0-4435-bd78-5b32b3a40aeb

Some choice quotes:

By moving around assets – starting with the trade that sent linebacker Kiko Alonso and cornerback Byron Maxwell to Miami and moving up from No. 13 to No. 8 in the first round by virtue of that trade – the Eagles are taking advantage of the rare opportunity of being in the top 10 of the draft to take a quarterback.

It is important to understand that whomever the Eagles draft won’t be asked to come in and play immediately. Or any time soon after that. Bradford is the starting quarterback here and the hope is that he lights it up in this West Coast offense and that the Eagles win the NFC East and have a deep run in the postseason. By being aggressive in free agency, the Eagles head into the draft without any glaring holes. That’s not to say this team has no room to improve, but there is a starter for every position, and if the Eagles were to line up today and play, they could be a very competitive team.

With the help of a massive trade, the Eagles think they’ve taken a step toward reclaiming the glory of those days when the team had deep playoff runs and contended for the Super Bowl every season. They wanted to make sure they had a chance to cover every base at the quarterback position, and they’ve done that – with an exclamation point – with a second move up in the first round all the way to No. 2 and a chance to grab the quarterback of the future.

If the Eagles struggle this season, the Browns will likely have a pair of Top 10 (if not Top 5) picks in the 2017 draft.

Based Sashi

 

[Brinbe]

Basically gave up a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd to move up six spots... and we're not even gonna take the best player on the board. Passing on Jalen Ramsey and letting him get to the Cowboys.

Motherfucker. Just stick @ 8 and take Zeke or Hargreaves or if you want a QB so bad, trade back and wait for Lynch. OR take a flyer on Hackenberg or someone like that in later rounds. WTF... This screams of Pederson falling in love with Wentz and trading it all for him. He better fucking deliver, and I'm not convinced this was worth it. ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'RE SPENDING A SHITTON ON FUCKING BRADFORD/DANIELS AS IS. THIS IS STUPID. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING

/ECKEL MODE OFF

 

[RBH]

ITS A NEW DAY YES IT IS!!!!

Friend, now is the perfect opportunity for you to post some New Day gifs!

 

[BannedEpisode]

dude

get a grip lmao

Exactly lol.

You don't trade half your draft plus a chunk of next year's on a Tackle unless it's a clone of Ogden.

 

[Bread]

The only saving race in all of this is that we made the trade with the Browns. Wentz will turn into Big Ben or Luck.

racist

 

[JABEE]

The Eagles are going to suck next season, so the Browns will get a great pick.

 

[Farooq]

Wish the Cowboys had the Browns FO. Exciting time to be Browns fan.

 

[Officerrob]

So Dallas is getting Ramsey or Elliot for sure now

Elliott was always going to be there at 4

 

[rando14]

Wish the Cowboys had the Browns FO.

Wish the Cowboys had the Browns FO.

Wish the Cowboys had the Browns FO.

WATTBA

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Shit trade, even though I want Eagles to go for a QB

 

[Hindl]

This is the worst
