According to Peter King, the Eagles are involved in discussions with at least two teams about moving up in the first round to draft one of the top wide receivers.
King believes that Odell Beckham would be the team’s primary target, and that Marquise Lee would be their fallback option.
I don’t like the idea of the Eagles trading up.
This is such a deep draft, and the Eagles only have six picks to work with right now. I don’t believe that either Beckham or Lee would be worth sacrificing multiple picks from this year’s draft to move up. The only receiver in this draft that I’d consider trading up for is Mike Evans, but otherwise I’d rather the Eagles just stay at 22.
There are so many talented receivers in this year’s draft, and I’m sure that one of the top guys after Sammy Watkins and Mike Evans (Beckham, Lee, Brandin Cooks, Kelvin Benjamin) will be available at 22 for the Eagles.
If anything, it makes more sense for the Eagles to trade down and acquire additional picks for such a deep draft rather than limit their amount of selections even further while putting even more of their hopes on one guy making a big difference for them going into the season.
I think its ridiculous that the Eagles even have to consider trading up for a wide receiver, but they put themselves in this spot when they decided to create a need at the position by letting DeSean Jackson go.
Denny, your late, read the last post about the Eagles on here, I just got done saying the same thing lol, I’m in total agreement, they should be moving back and getting more picks in this deep draft, I will say this, if they do trade up,you know Chip is running the show, we all know how much Howie values draft picks.
Any “rumors” this entire week before the draft must be accurate. I am more likely to believe a Bigfoot sighting at City Hall.
A “Rosanne Barr” sighting at the Philly Zoo…
Yeah, in the elephant pit.
The only player I’m picking @22 is Anthony Barr outside of that I’m sticking to my guns and saying trade down or out of the 1st rd
Barr ain’t going to be there at #22. He’ll be gone 10-15.
Well between the articles posted here and everyone’s idea’s of what might happen….someone has to have come up with the correct decision.
Btw Lane Johnson IS NOT a bust and will be a Pro Bowler this season, take it to the bank!
I don’t know about Pro Bowl but definitely not a bust. My buddy who scouts for Bleacher Report and couple of other sites says he was the best pick of the lineman in the top 10. Will grade out well in the long run compared to the rest. Thinks Fisher may be a complete bust and hes a Chiefs fan lol.
He loves the G out of UCLA thinks hes the best lineman in the draft.
***Paulman Rumor #172***
Eagles Send #22, Guard Evan Mathis & RB Bryce Brown & TE James Casey to the Tampa Bay Bucs for their # 7th Overall Pick of the Draft and Select WR Mike Evans of Texas A&M
Check your math Pman…that is rumor # 10,714 and counting. Lol
So let me get this straight. We need defensive help. We get rid of only pro bowl recievers in the last 25 years. We then get rid of picks to move up in the draft to get another WR who may or may not pan out. We neglect the defense in the draft and give up picks. Lol this is getting better and better
I can only hope this is rumor and nothing more than pre draft smoke. This team can not afford to trade up for an ODB. If it was Mike Evans…ok, Anthony Barr, yes. Whether you like Djax or not, the reality of creating a need now materializes into reality as we have to use a pick on a position that yes, we had a pro bowler in. Someone is going o be on the board that we do not get because of the need to draft a receiver. We’ll find out in a few days. I’m hoping Anthony Barr slides so Eagles can have the option of moving up or choosing him.
This is all a smokescreen when have you ever known the eagles to let there draft plans out ahead of time they never do they keep everything in house.
Absolutely a smokescreen, no teams do…but they disseminate disinformation and use the media to do so.
Paulman that trade sounds good as long as we don’t have to give up any more picks outside of that #22 and you may have to take out Bryce brown and put in Brandon graham instead they already have good rb depth with Doug Martin & bobby rainy. Hell I may even give them vinny curry instead as long as I don’t have to give up more picks I would do it.
Reportedly, Lovie Smith told GM Roseman that this Deal has to include the “Gloomy Draft DayTrade-Chart” before he signs off on it…
A New Report out that Eagles QB Foles woke up today, and is now very concerned about the lack of Playmakers at the WR Position…
***The Top #5 “Disseminating Disinformation for Monday 5/5/2014”
1) That Songs is actually an Eagles Fan
2) That Eagles are looking to move up in the Draft
3) That Eagles are interested in Johnny Football
4) That GM Roseman is the Best Talent Evaluator in the NovaCare Center
5) That Eagles will Draft or address the Safety Position in the 1st 4 Rounds
More lists to follow
It’s just a rumor people. If anyone believes anything they read this week then they are clueless. This week is all about smokescreens and posturing. That being said, if they trade up for a WR, it better be Cooks.
Sorry I forgot. The Eagles dont trade up. The Eagles and us fans are smarter than everyone else. The other teams and fans are dumb. Its a smokescreen! Them Philadelphia Eagles and there fans are so savy! They will ouutsmart everyone with the smokescreen!
All teams are doing the same thing dag. It’s just part of the draft process.
Michael Carter Williams named NBA rookie of the year today – another typical gloomy bust prediction by GMCliff ( as usual) when he suggested the sixers should have selected deep bench warmer Atlanta Hawks PG Dennis Schroeder instead when he incorrectly predicted MCW was nothing but a 2nd stringer.
Cliff please don’t say you said that!!!!!!
Yes, I did……He had a good season…I still think he has a ways to go…
But, IJ, these jokers will bring up every preserved miss, but won’t give props for the many correctly predicted…I shake something like this off…. I’m more right than I am wrong……
But I don’t think I am incorrect about MCW…His play dropped off considerably toward the second half of the season.
Ask E0S who he liked……LOL!! He gave nothing as usual, but acts as if he had a clue, and will pretend he knew it all along…..I pay him no mind
As soon as they traded Jrue he was the guy I wanted at the 11th pick. You can’t teach what he has and you can improve upon his freaky measurables.
Disagree about his play tailoring off. His usage went up while his teammates got progessively worse. He is not a scoring point guard and he uses his ability to get to the rim to open up the floor for rest of the team. At the end of the season teams were daring him to get the ball out of his hands because outside of Young there was nothing to worry about.
He will explode next year if Noel is able to get up and down the court on transition and is able to rebound well offensively etc. His game is tailored exactly to the offense. Sixers just have no other pieces at the moment. But a SG that can open up the floor from 3 next season and I think he is going to be legitimate double double stat stuffer. I wouldnt be suprised with a 18 8 6 stat line on him consistently.
gmc, I don’t often disagree with you, but MCW is a good young PG, & if he keeps working on his all around game, especially stop turning the ball over at a frightening pace, & the need to take the ball to the hole more, I think he’s destined to be a top 5-7 PG in the NBA, very soon. This is coming from an extremely, critical grader. I actually think they got the steal of last years draft. Let’s Hinkie Dinkie, picks some good players this year, or we will blow for another 30+ years.
*hope*
What can be said e0s other then some people have no clue how to evaluate talent…….
Remember it has been said that Lane Johnson is a bust, lmao. SMH
BELIEVE NOTHING THE NEXT FEW DAYS LMAO
Trade alert
Eagles send #22 to the
Browns for picks #35,83,106 &127
Paulman’s 76ers Mock Draft (Version #1)
1st Round
1st Selection – PF Noah Vonleah (Indiana 6-10 240lbs)
2nd Selection – SG Gary Harris (Michigan State 6-4 210lbs)
A Starting 5 Next Season of
PF – Noels (Focus on Defense, Blocking Shots & Rebounds)
PF – Vonleah (A Double-Double every night and can score facing basket)
SF – Thadd Young (a Slasher, more chances to play a bit outside a bit)
SG – Gary Harris (a rising shooter, capable of 15-20 Pts a Game, good Defender on the Ball as well, has big upside as a NBA PLayer in my opinion)
PF – Michael-Carter Williams (a True Point Guard)
Bench (so far)
Guard Tony Wroten, Center Henry Sims
Theres no way in hell you draft Vonleah in the top 5. Nice player but not a game changer by any means. Harris is a good pick and you can get away with him at the 2 because of what MCW brings you at the 1. I would prefer they take a flyer on Stauskas more size better shooter. Or really gamble and go after the kid from UCLA Levine.
Or role the dice and just take best player available regardless at the second pick and make a run at Lance Stephenson this offseason. If you think his head can stay on straight.
Top 6 picks in my order
Parker
Wiggins
Embiid
Exum
Gordon
Randle.
Gary Harris stinks….
Gary Harris will be a very good NBA Player
He’s big & strong at 6-4″ 210lbs, plays Defense and reminds
A lot like a young Michael Westbrook..
No he isn’t Paul…He is nothing like Westbrook….
Westbrook, is extremely more athletic, actually has a jump shot, and more of a defensive mind, and presence – Harris is an average defensive player at best, with no J………He’ll be nothing in the NBA, except a bench player..
Who the heck is Michael Westbrook???

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! SMFH….
more useless Trivia & Geography Items
Indianapolis,Indiana is the Largest City in the US without having a Navigable Waterway thru it…
McShays latest mock has Calvin Pryor at 22 to the Eagles.
However at that pick he has CJ Mosley one slot ahead at 21…Barr at 25…Lee and Benjamin available.
Out of Pryor Mosley Barr or Wr. Who would you take?
1.Mosley
2. Barr
3. Pryor
in that order. for myself.
If all on the Board at #22 I go
1) Barr
2) Pryor
3) Mosley
Barr then Pryor you can keep Mosley.
1- Pryor (Stud, IMHO; Reminds me of BDawk).
2- Barr (huge boom, or bust potential).
3- Lee (Injury questions).
4- Mosley (Better version of Beason).
5- Benjamin (Raw, with high upside).
Good stuff dcar, add to Lee that hes inconsistent but has a high ceiling…
Mosley is a stud and will be a very very productive LB in the nfl. I expect him to start day 1 on a team. I mentioned Mosley on here maybe a week ago as a potential target of the Birds with this possibly being Ryans last year here and Kendricks new contract fast approaching and the uncertainty of him resigning or their being a issue (doubt that their will be) but drafting Mosley would solidify that position for this upcoming year..
Im hearing too that the Birds are willing to move up for Barr and or Johnny Football if one drops out of the top 10. They like both Evans and Watkins too but if they are considering to move all the way up into the top 5, its for Khalil Mack and no one else, the rest is a smokescreen..
Y’all are sleeping on Mosely. He is going to be able to stay on the field every down. Hes my defensive ROY.
I am not a Pryor fan at all I just see a thumper with adequate ball skills. The gap between him and Clinton Dix is wide and I think the gap between Pryor and Buchanon is not that big and I like Buchanon more in coverage.
Call me crazy. But I wouldn’t trade up for mike evans. If he somehow magically fell to 22 then so be it. I’d take him no question. I have reservations about how good he will be as a pro and predict that Beckham and Lee will be better pros.
Evans’ upside is crazy but I just can’t see him getting open in the league. I could be wrong however. Besides megatron somebody please name me a receiver that size who is dominate.
I disagree about Mike Evans,
I think he will have a more productive NFL Career
Then Watkins or Lee..
Remember that he had the very unpredictable
QB Johnny Football passing to him the last 2 Seasons..
Put him on a Team with a Pocket QB who can read Defenses and deliver the ball in time and Evans can be a special player..
He reminds me a little like a Marvin Harrison type
But bigger..
I agree with you Concrete…….You’re not crazy….he’s overhyped
Concrete, gmc, the same was said about VJax, Mike Williams, & Bolden, about not being able to get open. How did that work out? Evans is basically VJax little Brother. He’d be a terror in our offense. He’s a YAC machine.
I don’t know PMan. All of his highlights look like broken plays or he just simply is too big for whoever is covering him. I don’t think he will be a bum but he has some work to do to get to a pro bowl level which is what you expect when u draft a receiver in the too ten.
Most of that Is that Johnny Football was his QB who bales out of the Pocket 70% of the Time..
ok…let me examine this correctly.
The Eagles biggest issue is the defense…. they suck ass.
So, instead of focusing on the defense our Eagles created a gigantic hole on offense by letting Djax go for absolutely nothing, and now have to trade up to replace him.
So….. they will probably lose a pick trading up and won’t be able to address the defense until after the first round with fewer picks.
This Eagles front office are a bunch of ass clowns.
Spinning wheels. creating problems for themselves.
I’m really starting to believe the problem wasn’t all Reid’s fault here.
Banner is gone so we can’t blame him, yet the same incompetence continues.
It’s the organization starting from the top.
Ass clowns who will never win a Superbowl.
Yet the Skins are the model of stability and winning culture. Lol sit your dumbass down and stop talking.
And before you start your dumbass hail chants or talk about Superbowls.
All that was 20 some odd years ago. In a different league. Under a different owner (The Great Jack Kent Cooke) with Plan B Free Agency.
The Redskins are a joke and mortgaged an entire franchise on a QB then ran him into the ground. Now youre relying on cadaver ligaments to hold that franchise together.
Shut up already.
The Redskins upgraded their terrible defense by having London Fletcher retire and signing Ryan Clark.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Shut da hell up Toasty the Clown! Anytime someone has a legitimate criticism of the Eagles front office…you come rushing in to the rescue with some lame ass crap.
They haven’t won the big one once…not once fool…they are incompetent!
Who cares about what the Redskins are doing…its about what the Eagles are doing to win a Super Bowl!!
All we can see is failure, fumbles and foolish decisions…bottom line!
Sit your House Negro ass down, Fool! We don’t need your company man lines and cheerleading here!!
Here goes the Chicken Little Minstrel showing his teeth again.
Incompetent for what? Lurie has had the team for what 20 years and has had 3 coaches? His failure was holding onto Andy way too long. However this dumbass nonsense flying out your mouth like hes Norman Braman just makes you look dumber and dumber.
Lol I’m more critical of management than you are. You just harp on the same old shit with no substance.
Post something that makes sense. Not you just running your mouth with exclamation points and vague dumbass statements.
If you don’t think they are doing anything to win a SuperBowl dont watch dont comment find a new team. They were legit SuperBowl contenders under Andy Reid until the power balance swung and then no could tell the Emperor has no clothes.
I already told your dumbass and any idiot that supports you this team has been bullshit since 2005. We have drafted 2 probowlers during that time period and out 30 some odd picks in the 1st 3 rounds we have gotten little to no value up until Cox/Kendricks draft and the jury is still out on them.
But again run your mouth Chicken Little harping on the same shit showing your teeth and being the clown ass negro you are.
Songs …go get your pig nose ,and root for rg 3 -and Djax,stay off the eagles sites.theyre not ,I repeat not reaching to fill a void they created.they analyzed how deep the wide receiver draft is,and realized as opposed to overpaying desean they could mold a team guy into the locker room presence they desire ..at a fraction of the cost..it’s called business ..I believe they’ll make a draft day deal to get the edge rusher from the dolphins and a big wide out who can actually go over the middle of the field…songs gosling your redskin fight song and take a hike
Unless you’re trading up to get Watkins, or Evans, it would be insanely STUPID, to trade 3 draft picks (which it will take), to draft the same quality WR, that you can get in the 2nd. Lee will be there at #22. Matthews, Robinson, Moncrief, Latimer, Adams, Benjamin, Landry, Bryant, Richardson, Norwood, can all be had in the 2nd, & 3rd rounds. If they want a WR in the 2nd, they can trade up in the 2nd, & not have to give up as much. This is all pre-draft, smokescreen, BS! It would be STUPID, to trade assets, when you only have 6 picks! That’s what makes the DJax debacle worse, by not getting anything for him. They better use Graham, Brown, Curry, & Mathis to get more picks, if the trade up, or it’s going to be another disappointing, underwhelming, head scratching draft.
Eagle Fans I have a question. When was the last time you stood up and said YEEESSSS after a 1st round selection? When was the last time a player was on the board in the 1st round you kept hoping and hoping nobody would take andit came to our pick and we took him? Don’t say Lane Johnson that was like a “I guess that was ok”. But seriously we do this every year get all excited but do we ever get who we really want? I guess Ertz last year is a good example but when was the last time say a player like Pryor fell, we all sat there yelling we got him, then we actually took him. I swear I cant recall. We all know exactly whats gonna happen Thursday. We are going to say WTF. lol
The last time was probably OL Leonard Holmes..
Good Grief..
dag, Keith Jackson, in 1988.
Eagle fans we cant win Thursday. It is hard for me to see a scenario where we will be happy Thursday. Maybe if Beckham, Fuller or Pryor drops to 22 that is the only way we will have a consensus in opinion. If we trade up and give up picks we wont be happy. If we take Lee we wont be happy. If we take Barr(reports are he is ok) some wont be happy. If we trade back depending on what picks we get would some fans wont be happy. This is really going to be a tough 1st round to satisfy Eagle fans.
No way possible that the fans are happy at 22 unless it’s Barr, they won’t take a safety so that’s off the boards if they take Lee or Cooks or any WR for that matter the DJax crowd will be pissed, Vinnie will be the only one happy if they go Oline. If they don’t trade back Gloomy will lose his mind.
I’ll be happy with Barr or a trade down, but this process has been too drawn out so I don’t care what happens. It’s already a win for me because there are no draft eligible USC QB’s for Coach Ego to draft. LOL
Ha ha, Not so fast my friend,
Rumor has it that Chip is bringing in
Matt Linehart in to Camp.. Kelly says “likes Left-Handed QB’s and wants to keep opposing Defenses on their toes”…
This Kelly is a smart man..
To steal your line paulman. Good Grief…..
Cripes. I had forgotten that they signed Sanchez. Dammit, thanks for reminding me.
Ignorance is bliss.
Wouldn’t it of been so much easier to stay in the 4-3. Then we would of had Cox, Thorton and Logan playing their natural positions at DT. Curry, Graham and Cole at DE. Ryans, Kenndricks and Barwin at LB.
Yes 100%, but…
Anthony Barr all day long if he is there! If not….TRADE DOWN. There will be no WR worth trading up for that we can get our hands on as Mike Evans will be gone before we can trade up for him.
This has got to be a smoke screen. The Eagles aren’t that dumb of an organization to move up in the draft with only 6 draft picks. Stay at #22, or trade out and get additional picks. Jarvis Laundry of LSU is gonna be a stud…If not better than Beckham. I sure hope Howie and Co don’t fuck this up like previous drafts. That trade up for Brandon Graham and missing on Earl Thomas still bugs the shit out of me..
