    First off, the Philly media and fans have been pushing the idea the Eagles will trade up to draft Mariota. Here is how CBS sports think they will do it:
    • Trade Sam Bradford the Browns for the number 12 pick -- reportedly the Browns offered a first round pick (They have two) for Bradford but the Rams wanted Nick Foles instead
    • The Eagles then trade the number 12 pick and their own number 20 pick to the Titans for the number 2 pick
    This move would give @520 an orgasm as it would guarantee Zach Mettenberger is the Titans starter

    My thoughts are there are two problems with the assumption made in this story:
    1. While the Browns may have been willing to give up a first rounder for Bradford we do not know if it was the number 12. It may have been the number 19 pick which they got from Buffalo
    2. The number 2 pick is worth way more than the 12 and 20 picks together. The Titans would be fools to take this deal

    While the deal as speculated on is unlikely to happen it does open up some interesting possibilities.

    Mariota is going 1 and Philly doesn't have enough to offer to get there.

    Any trade down from #2 needs to have a 2016 1st round added on IMO. If the Eagles were to get the 12th pock it would have to be 12, 20, 1st in 2016 at minimum to trade up.

    That extra first is necessary for us to grab a QB next season if Mett fails to impress or Webster and Whis get the boot

    Add another 2016 first round pick and it sounds good to me.

    We do know. It was #19.

    This trade might actually work, but it would take more for me to move down that far if I was Ruston, than #12 and #20. If the Browns wanted Mariota, they could just give us #12 and #19 which is a better deal without having to worry about Bradford's health.

    If the Eagles or Browns offered this with a 2016, 1st rounder, I'd be all in.

    Chip Kelly won 5 games with Mark Sanchez, traded for Sam Bradford, and just signed Tim Tebow, I personally dont think these fantasy trades come to fruition.

    Any trades that happen wont be that dramatic.

    I think it is silly to act like the Titans are fools if we trade out for less than the trade value charts say. The market for the #2 spot will determine what we actually get. If all this talk of trades is just hoopla and the Eagles aren't interested and the Rams like Foles and the Bears really are sticking with Cutler.....then I would be more than happy to take less than the trade value chart.

    I would trade down with the Jets for just their 2nd rnder if that is all we could get. I'd rather have #6 and 2 early 2nd rnders than just our picks. In my mind their is not a superstar once in a generational player that we will be passing on by moving out of the 2nd spot. Getting 3 solid starters is better than just using our picks and getting 2 solid starters.

    I hope the trade market really is hot and we land a boat load of picks. If not then I draft a QB or am willing to take less than the trade value chart.

    The only trade I see happening is one with the Chargers involving Rivers. Again, Webster and Whisenhunt's asses are absolutely on the line. And we desperately need to inject some top talent into this roster. I don't think 2 mid-round picks help us as much as Rivers and a mid-round pick or just taking one of the top talents in the draft at 2.

    Webster should be fired immediately if he trades #2 overall for #6 and a 2nd round pick.
