ninjapirate Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I know we won the super bowl by trading up for a qb. But don't forget that's also the first time ever it's actually worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyatemydingo Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 It is just a simple trade down ... 1 and 6 to Buffalo for the Ram's 2 and the Brown's 3. 2 - Anthony Miller 3 - Josey Jewell 4 - Troy Apke 4 - Hercules Mata'afa 5 - Phillip Lindsay 7 - Nate Wozniak This is unless Tom Brady sees the photoshopped images I sent him of Bill Belichick and Giselle and Brady decides to retire, in which case .....

babyatemydingo Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Nick Foles is traded to the Brady-less Patriots for the Patriot's 1 and 2. The Eagles combine both their 1 and The Pat's 1 to San Diego for a 1 and a 3. 1 - At 17th in the 1st round the Eagles take James Daniels. If you even remotely understand how the NFL works and how Howie is this is brilliant. The Eagles flip the center position over the next two years and save $10M with an 'equal to or better than' player. 2 - Anthony Averett The addition of the 3rd changes the dynamic and there are other receivers in the tier to which the Eagles have access. Even if Miller is available, there will be no more pro-ready slot corners. 3 - TreQuan Smith This is what you get for passing on Miller. Not ready, but not too shabby. Also, Jewell is gone. 4 - Troy Apke 4 - Hercules Mata'afa 5 - Phillip Lindsay 7 - Nate Wozniak Now probably and I mean prolly, like the SAT's, none of the above will happen. So .....

babyatemydingo Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I though what a good idea it would be to use a time machine. But alas, my flux capacitor is in the shop. I would have suggested going back to 2012 and using the 7th round draft pick used on Bryce Brown in a trade. I would have shipped it to the Seahawks for a 2013 6th. Then I would have converted my IRA to bitcoin. I would then have flipped that for a 2014 5th from Washington. And I would have gone to the other party on New Year's Eve that year, too. The 2014 5th would have been swapped for a 2015 4th from Chicago or Tennessee. I would also have declined coffee and crabs from Jennifer that summer. The 4th would then be sent to Dallas for a 2016 3rd. Then I would have gone to Thailand instead of Australia. I thought I weighed the pros and cons, but Thailand had way more pros ... and ..... That 3rd would beget me a 2017 2nd from the Jets. My parking ticket would have pizaid right quick. Then the old Jets 2nd would be moved across town to the Giants for a 1. That 1 would be used on Quentin Nelson. And voila, using patience I converted a 7 to a 1. I started this trusty process in each successive draft, as well. There are multiple 1's to come. Also, this kind of explanation is probably why Howie keeps deleting my emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the Giants won 2 after trading a haul for Eli, the Rams look to be be on the verge after trading up for Goff, the Broncos gave up a haul for Elway, etc. It' not likely, but it has happened.

The giants gave up quality and quantity in that trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The giants gave up quality and quantity in that trade. And in the end they still won superbowls. While I think Eli was the third best QB drafted that year, giving up those assets didn't hurt them in the long run thus debunking that a team can' give up a ton of assets and win or the quantity over quality argument.
