Official 2015 NFL Draft Thread

I get trying bleed us dry.. I get that.. I'm an attorney, trust me the concept is not lost on me

But you gotta go to the negotiating table realistic.. At some point the Eagles are going to realize they are bidding against themselves and tell you do what you gotta do





Ken already went down in Arizona after getting an Eagles QB.. This going be round 2

,Shefter said recently that many teams believe him to be a valauable commodity and that they feel like he would've gone in the 1st round this year

PFT:


Four more quarterbacks are likely to hear their names called this evening, when the NFL draft resumes and the second and third rounds take place: Bryce Petty of Baylor, Brett Hundley of UCLA, Sean Mannion of Oregon State and Garrett Grayson of Colorado State.

The Saints and Petty are a pairing to keep an eye on. There’s been a lot of talk that New Orleans would like to make Petty the heir apparent to Drew Brees. The Saints have a second-round pick and two third-round picks (their own and Miami’s) tonight, and it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see Petty land in New Orleans.

Once Petty, Hundley, Mannion and Grayson are off the board, it’s anyone’s guess whether any other quarterbacks will be drafted. Brandon Bridge of South Alabama, Connor Halliday of Washington State, Cody Fajardo of Nevada and Shane Carden of East Carolina could all be late-round picks.

In the Titans case, they had no choice but to ask for that much, especially with all the holes they have along with knowing how bad the Eagles wanted him.

But that's the thing, they still have those holes.. And mariota' strengths ain't exactly what ken is looking for or had in a QB before

I get trying to get as much as you can in any negotiation, but at some point you gotta realize you setting the bar way to high




And using that Washington/rg3 deal as a basis is ludacris, because we all know how terrible Snyder is with negotiating anything

How do you really know what Ken is looking for? Did he come out and specifically say what type of QB he wanted? How do you know the Titans won't play to his strengths for the time being?

This is a franchise that doesn't have a face, in a division with Andrew Luck and JJ Watt, it was a move they had to make. You ask a football fan to name you 5 players on the Titans roster without using Google they're gonna be flustered :lol:

In my opinion, the Eagles set the bar for Mariota that high by making it well known how bad they wanted him. Had they played it cool and tried to keep it tight lipped they probably could've got him.
 
At least Mariota is in a weak conference and a small market

No one cares about the Titans so he can pretty much stay to his self

he wasnt ready for the circus of NY or the hard fans of Philly

does Tennessee have ANY o line or weapons on offense

I feel like the titans picked him just cause
 
Weak conference? You probably mean division right

.

I feel for him though,he won't have much to work with in Tennessee unlike Jameis.

So if the Eagles played it cool the Titans would have been more willing to accept their offer?

And I'm just basing my opinion on the QBs ken has had during his time with the steelers, cards and Titans and what he has done with them and those offenses

And the Eagles didn't make a play for mariota until the day before and the day off the draft.. Other than that, it was speculation from everyone outside the organization

Per Mike Florio I heard that the eagles trade involved Sam Bradford , 1st round '15 and '16.
:lol:

Sam going to be like that kid who tries to impress his deadbeat dad .
 
If you're referring to the article yesterday, they basically just collected several commentators' Gregory quotes in one spot and showed how none of them were saying specifically anything, but undertones led them to say "if that's the case..." and they went from there. Jay Glazer basically said it on the radio with DP earlier this week.

Florio is a hack, he also reported Chip needs to mend fences with his players who feel like he is waiting for the Titans job

Could mean conference, AFC had kinda sucked compared to the NFC in overall quality (though improving now)

The Eagles showed their hand, as an attorney you should know once someone tips their hand you go for the kill. Again, like I said last night, the Titans should've took the trade, especially if they could've grabbed a player like Cox with it. But I also understand why they took MM8.

I don't believe those last two sentences one bit :lol: .. Chip wanted him day 1, don't give me the speculation talk fam :lol:
