So, the Eagles now pick #2, #79, #153, #164, #188, #233, and #251.

I understand why they made the deal. Their belief is that they still get seven picks while securing a legit potential starter at QB. It's the future compensation that hurts them. I'd do the 2017 first or the 2018 second but NOT both. That's too many sweeteners.

Responses:

they're already committed to $34 million with their present QBs, and now just committed major assets to the position - ML Apr 20, 11:03 17
- Any chance they're moving up for Tunsil? -- nm - Inigo Apr 20, 11:08 6
  - If they gave up that much for an OT, they should have their drafting privileges revoked. -- nm - David Apr 20, 11:10 4
    - Anymore so than moving up to draft one of two QBs while having an insane amount of money already invested in two other QBs? -- nm - Inigo Apr 20, 11:13 3
      - From an economic perspective, LT is now the most overvalued position in the NFL. - David Apr 20, 11:20 2
        
        It's why you see guys like Okung and Clady moved - it's just not as important as solid line play across all 5 positions now. -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:21 1
        
        Exactly. The cap should be spread much more evenly than for the LT to hog everything. - David Apr 20, 11:24
  - I don't think you move that level of assets for an OL, no matter how good Tunsil might be. - ML Apr 20, 11:09
- The Chase Daniel thing is absolutely maddening now. -- nm - David Apr 20, 11:05 8
  - The Daniel and Bradford deals combine for an average salary more than any single QB in the NFL. -- nm - ML Apr 20, 11:05
  - Yes it is, says the Mizzou fan who's favorite NFL team needs a QB. -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:05 6
    - I'm first in line to say that you keep trying until you have a QB, and even I think this is beyond the pale. - David Apr 20, 11:12 1
      - I love me some Chase and would rather have had him on my roster than Butt Fumble. -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:24
    - You can have the Bradford -- nm - decline Apr 20, 11:08 3
      - He's going to have made like $100mil over his career and only one time been in the top half of the league at his position (and even then only 10 games - Will Hunting Apr 20, 11:11 2
        
        He's in the Trent Green/Chris Chandler grouping for me. I know he can play, but fate is not his friend. - David Apr 20, 11:13 1
        
        I don't even know if he can play; he's only played in the most conservative passing attacks possible - Will Hunting Apr 20, 11:14
- FML -- nm - decline Apr 20, 11:04
And Cleveland now picks at: #8, #65, #77, #99, #100, #138, #141, #172, #173, #176, and #223. - David Apr 20, 11:03 4
- Will they have enough cap room for all those picks? At some point, can't you have more picks than you can realistically sign? -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:05 3
  - Anything after the first two rounds is dirt cheap. The #65 pick last year had a cap number of $568,388. - David Apr 20, 11:08 2
    - It's why Seattle's been so strong the last few years; all their UDFA's and getting guys like Sherman in teh 5th. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 11:12 1
      - Right. They send out letters to UDFAs stressing how much more likely players are to make the Seahawks than other teams. - David Apr 20, 11:15
