And so the first two picks, in one form or another, will be Jared Goff and Carson Wentz.

Rams gave up 2016 1, 2, 2, 3; 2017 1, 3

Eagles gave up 2016 1, 3, 4; 2017 1; 2018 2

Timing of the picks makes a difference. The 2 being in 2018 makes it far less valuable than a 2 in 2016.

Let's just agree that the Titans, and Browns got a hell of a haul.

Watching teams like that trade everything including the kitchen sink to move up for a QB make it even more bewildering that so many fans here tried for so long to run Cam Newton out of town. Even in an MVP season there were still people waiting for him to make a mistake. It's a good time to be a Panthers fan.

Awesome trade for the Browns. I can't wait to see how they screw it up.

That's funny, but there's a new sheriff in town. I think they will be fine as long as the owner actually allows the management to stay around for more than a couple of minutes.

I would agree with that.

Btw, wtf are the Eagles doing?  They already have 2 QB's that they are paying starter money.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Bradford got 2 years, 35 million. 22 guaranteed.

Chase Daniel got 3 years, 21 million. 12 guaranteed.

Now, they're taking Carson Wentz who will eventually start...and can't cut the other two for at least a year....all the while giving up a ton of picks including next year's 1st. 

 

Oh, Iggles.

So happy I'm not an Eagles fan.

Over the past 2-3 years they've destroyed their team. Chip gutted the team of all their talent. Then they fire him. Then they pawn off the little talent that he was able to bring in. Now they are giving away all their picks for Carson Wentz (after giving 2 QBs decent contracts earlier this offseason). 

Limited talent. No picks. Rookie QB.

They will garner a few picks by trading Bradford (that's if they go QB).

Eagles are reportedly releasing Bradford today.

Damn...  I just don't get it.  I mean, I know you have to have a QB to compete, but neither of the top 2 QB's are really worth what's being given up, IMO.  Neither is a Cam, Luck, RGIII type of guy.  It's crazy!

And the North Dakota kid from the Missouri Valley Conference goes to that @hole market to boot.  Poor kid.

This is great for the Browns because they would have screwed up the #2 pick for sure, but now they get to move down and take some of the pressure off.  #8 is a great position to be picking at because there's still usually a player that's basically just as good as the top pick but he's just not as scrutinized.  As a GM, you can look like a genius making a great pick there, whereas in the first couple of picks, you have to get it right or you're an idiot.

@NFL came through with a really good tweet...

And eating 22 million in dead cap this year, then 9 million next year? 

Aka, no they're not.

Ronnie Stanley!  Then we work a trade for Joe Thomas and/or they give us some of that newfound currency by giving it to us to get to 30 for Lynch/Cook.
