Darren Sproles Traded to Eagles

03-13-2014, 03:07 PM

I would put our 1st round pick and our 6th rounder on the line and try to trade them up for maybe a top 10 pick. just to make sure we get the so much needed elite wr. we still have 6 picks, so why not?

Please find me a trade in the past 15 years or so where a team moved from the bottom of the first to the top by swapping picks with a team and throwing in a 6th rounder.....

To move up into the top 10 it would take far more than a 1st and 6th

Similar trade was Atlanta trading down for Julio Jones it cost them
Atlanta's 1st(26th pick),2nd round,4th round,1st round 2012 and 4th 2012 to move up to 6th

but they don't have loomis!

a better draft position in the 1st round won't be the worst thing in the world. we have to level up the o-line now.

Somehow I think you have confused 5th round pick with 5th overall pick?

Best of luck to Sproles. He'll always be one of my personal favorites.

Sproles and Foles ... sounds like a hipster cartoon show.

I'm surprised at this trade. But, I don't have enough inside info to have an opinion.

Good move Mickey. I thought Sproles would command a solid 4th I can definately be alright with a 5th. With that pick we might be able to get a power back.

I smell a trade up in the draft....

lee909 · 03-13-2014, 05:41 PM

Could be a case of using both 5ths to move up to the end of the 4th start 5th round.We need a C,RT,WR and depth so could be anything yet
