Quarterback Hype

[Alvin Walton]

And if Mariota has been Kellys Holy Grail all along he cant afford to shrug it off.
I take the 1st round swap and their 2nd and 4th.

What if Chip wants to get Mariota by trading Bradford...to us?

Example:
Philly gets pick # 5

We get pick #20
Sam Bradford
Jason Kelce or Brandon Graham or Zach Ertz / their #2 pick

Maybe he also wants Alfred Morris... Lots of 1st and 2nd round picks he wants to trade all for his boy and Alfred Morris.

Are people STILL talking as if Chip is going to trade up for Mariota and use Bradford as a chip? He'd been better off using Foles a bargaining tool. Bradford is the Eagles starting QB and that's about as open shut as it's going to get.


This whole "Skins would pick Mariota at 5" is a huge smoke screen. No way is Mariota the type of QB that Jay would be looking for. If he wanted a QB that played spread type offense, he's got one of those on the bench. Hell, Robert still has a higher ceiling than Mariota as well.

Not necessarily.

A) People talk about Bradford's contract as an obstacle. It's not. It benefits both Bradford and the team to renegotiate a long-term deal. That $13 mil. number is a red herring.

B) Many folks think that Bradford, when healthy, is better than Foles and way better than Mariota.

Do you think we would get that much for the 5th? I could see a swap of firsts and Bradford.

Maybe not. Just musing. But 20th to 5th is a huge jump and Chip REALLY wants to make that jump, so no matter what, we should fleece them.

For our side, what if RGIII '15 looks like RGIII '14? We'll need a starter.

As much as I'm enjoying the mental image of Chip wearing a barrel, I suspect that Philly already has a deal in place with Tenn. Bradford, pick #20, and a second round pick for pick #2.

Now if MM were to fall out of top 10 maybe they package Bradford and picks but I doubt it.

A deal would not necessarily include a second round pick. Players or other picks could be exchanged.

You are probably right...but we need a starting QB and a handshake deal can be broken, so I hope.

But all hope is not lost. If you are right, IMO Chip will draft the middling Mariota and still wear a barrel when MM can't break the 8-8 barrier.

Mariota to Chicago?
I doubt it.....
