Eagles Shopping Fletcher?

[Political Hack]

Rumors starting to swirl that the Eagles are shopping Fletcher prior to the draft.

[msstate7]

He would pull a lot, but I wouldn't do it

[Political Hack]

if Kelly thinks he can get his guy at QB out of it, I could see it. If MM falls to the Falcons spot, I'd look for a possible trade.

Falcons also looking to trade for a LB too though.

Hoping they trade him to my Titans. Him and two first founders. If the Titans pick anyone I will be sad. The only way I am happy is if we trade that pick.

I just don't want him laying on top of Drew Brees twice a season.

I'm sure you would love that trade. If the Eagles do that, they're idiots. Kelly would be coaching college again very soon after a trade like that

[Rayburn8]

I would take Fletcher and a first and second. Hell I would probably take Fletcher and a first. Fill a need on defense and we can draft to fill another need. Then draft a QB(Dak) next year and be set.

You don't think Mett stands a chance of being the guy?

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

I would be ecstatic if Fletcher came to the Titans, esp w/ 2 1st rounders. GM Ruston Webster is a bear w/ a penchant for bringing in ex-Rebs so IDK how much that clouds his judgment. Not that he makes good judgments otherwise.. I'm happy if we pick Mariota but the more trade rumors I hear the more obvious it is that we can get lots more value trading down as long as we stay in the top half of the 1st. If we don't get a QB we have to come away w/ 2 instant impact players or we flubbed IMO.

Kelly feels like if he gets the right guys on O he can outscore most teams. They may give up 40, but he feels they'll score 50, I'm guessing.
As a Redskins fan I hope he does it
Mariota is good but not good enough to give up what they're saying the Eagles could possibly give up
But maybe that's the future of the NFL, 50-40 type games being the norm

[SDDawg]

Not a Kelly fan so would like to see Fletcher elsewhere.

[jumbo]

a trade with the eagles is my 2nd choice as a fellow Titans fan. my first choice is w/ Cleveland for 12, 19 a 3rd/4th and next years 1st.

[HancockCountyDog]

Wow, that would be so ****ing stupid. Fletcher was one of the most disruptive DL in the NFL last year.

[MetEdDawg]

If Kelly thinks Mariota is his guy he's going to have to come up with a big piece plus his 1st round draft pick. It's very possible that Fletcher would be one of the pieces that the Titans would require to make it happen.

The Titans need a lot so I could see Fletcher plus the Eagles 1st round pick being the price for them to move up to #2.

[HancockCountyDog]

If you are Saints and they offer Fletcher for Number 31 - how quickly do you say yes? Id probably do it for number 13 if the Eagles sent back a 3rd and a 5th.

It would take more than Fletch and #20.

The package that is being talked about now is 2 1st this year (Bradford to CLE gets them an extra 1), a 2nd next year, Fletcher Cox, Michael Kendricks, & Vinny Curry.

That seems to me like a ridiculous proposal on their part. Mariota seems to me to have bust written all over him but I am not an NFL scout.

It's not really any bigger than some other trades up that high. The Redskins traded 3 1st & a 2nd to move up for RG3. Let's not forget the Saints traded away all their picks in 99 plus a 1st & 3rd in 2000 to get Ricky Williams. Only giving up 1st rd picks this year actually isn't a bad deal.

With the new cap rules on salaries of draft picks, first rounders are even more valuable than in the past so I guess it makes sense. If you get five years of really good QB play on a rookie deal, even for the 2nd pick - then you are doing well.

Turning Bradford into a first round pick seems laughable to me, but who the hell knows - teams are stupid.
