Eagles are starting Hurts . And they won’t trade that pick - they will take the best OT available.  

  I hope so.

Think the Eagles will try to move up for a QB.  But not sure they get aggressive.

This increases the need for the Panthers to trade up in this year’s draft. I think Philadelphia will draft a QB. Hurts is not the answer.

I agree, but he seems to have the locker room-we see it--do they?

What's with this anti-Scott campaign that's going on right now?

I for one really appreciate loading up the blog and seeing a coherent thread about the major news of the day. Saves me a whole bunch of time.

Dude deserves a medal if anything.

My guess is the Eagles pick a QB if one of top 4 QBS are available. If they are really committed to Hurts, then they probably try to trade the pick to someone who wants a QB. A third alternative is that they use the added picks as part of a bounty to trade up for a QB. None of these options are favorable to the Panthers.

I think we are witnessing a  “Find Your QB” version of musical chairs. At this point, it is looking more and more like the Panthers may be left without a chair. I think the Panthers also see this, which means I would expect a hard and relatively expensive push up in the draft. For the proponents of “ wait until next year”, I tend to think the Panthers will be drafting lower next year. A franchise QB is not likely to be available to them without an even more expensive move up the draft board.

This is the year to make the move!

There has always been a strong anti Scott movement going on in the depths of the huddle.

The musical chairs thing holds a lot of water, but I think that if we're patient, something very good could fall to us. Maybe a QB in the draft, maybe a QB in FA, maybe an LT in the draft... In chaos, there's opportunity for the person who keeps their wits about themselves and their feet on solid ground.

If the Texans do decide to trade Watson what are the Eagles chances in the derby?

I suggest you get over whatever is up with you and Mr Scot.  I appreciate him and a few other very knowledgeable football people who contribute here.  [That's why I have stayed through all the crap].  He has time to search for info which is nice, especially during this offseason.  I am getting tired of the endless Watson debates.

Don't know what your issue is...you sound jealous.  Instead of attacking another poster please consider making a positive contribution to the information/discussion here.  We will all appreciate that.

It's a good ole MrTouchdown-Scot brawl!

Word is that we were never interested in Wentz.  I'm too lazy to go back and find the link but that's a cool sign.

Who? TBH no one even knows those other people.

Footnote to the Wentz deal, but Derek Carr may be less available than some have speculated.

It's pretty much guaranteed we aren't picking at 8 this year...

We either give up alot of draft capital plus players to get Watson or give up draft capital to love up 3 to 5 spots to draft a qb. Either way something is gonna happen.
