Free Agency/ Draft idea

[dunbar1352]

Miami signs Golladay and A.Jones. Trades down with the Eagles (so they can get a WR or Pitts) we get #6, Ertz and a second,maybe something next year. We draft Parsons at #6 and best Edge at #18 or trade up a couple spots from #18 with our new acquired draft capital to get the Edge they really want. Defense and offense all upgraded by the end of the first round and the rest of draft BPA? We can actually do this money wise and draft wise and I think our team would be ready to make a deep run in the playoffs

Ertz is on the downside of his career and was bad when he played last year. Even before he got injured. Not interested.

I'd rather trade for draft picks TBH

Well, if the Eagles are trading up, it's to draft a QB, not a WR IMHO. They're not in a position to trade up for that luxury.

I'm not warm and fuzzy on Galloday but I get it, he's a very good player. His cost, age and style of player make me leery. Surprisingly, I am warm and fuzzy on Jones at the right price. His lack of heavy use in Green Bay should make him viable for the next three years.

I think Miami can do a lot better than that in a trade-down to be honest. Ertz is 30 and carries a huge cap hit. They trade down to get a first next year and a second this year. That should be the starting point. If they don't get that and they still make a trade-down they must really see a lot of players in the top 8 or so indifferently. I'm guessing that's not the case but either way at some point the compensation outweighs the separation you see between available players.

I'm not against Parsons but I am against not addressing the offense in the first two rounds. That first pick has to be a "hit" and an impact player. I think Parsons is that. I think Pitts is that. The danger can be to try too hard to fill every hole this offseason. I think the best approach is to look at the next two years collectively. That's why I favour a trade-down to get another first next year and a second this year. That ammo could really propel this team.

Lots of options for sure and rumours to come. After next week, there should be some more clarity on possible draft targets, especially if they sign Aaron Jones.

Ertz was a throw in and would be a good security blanket for Tua for one or two years. I like in Philly so I tend to watch every game. That whole team was a dumpster fire last year. O-line was a big issue. Our coaches like 2 TE sets. Ertz is only 30 so I do think we can get at least 2 good years from him and his contact is for 8.5 million for 2021 which is not bad for a solid TE considering Kittle(highest paid TE) is getting 16 million next season. Idk doesn't seem like that big a risk. Also injuries should have been expected last year with no off-season. A solid TE makes the QBs job a little easier and I do believe Ertz can still be a solid TE

Won’t happen but:

Sign Galloday, Jones, Linsey

Trade down from 3 to either PHI, CAR, or DEN. Acquire an additional 2022 1, 2021 2 and 2021 3.

Draft a WR, LB, DE, and then BPA the rest of the way. Don’t sign Jones? Draft Harris, Etienne, or Williams out of UNC.

Well we will get draft picks Ertz would be a throw in, I doubt moving down a couple of spots we get us a first next year but I could be wrong but we could get the Eagles 2nd this year and possibly next year with Ertz. Moving down to six and getting 2 second rounders and Ertz is not a bad trade at all. What do you think Ertz is worth? I'd say a 4th or 5th. We wouldn't find anyone better than Ertz in the 4th or 5th round. So basically #6, 2 seconds, and Ertz for #3 in my opinion is a good trade

I do like this scenario

Pretty close to how I feel other than I don't want to spend on a free agent RB. I'd rather draft one and Harris, William and ETN are my top 3 in that order. I agree if philly moves up is for a QB but I don't see them moving up. they're more than 26mill over the cap so they need to keep their picks to have as many players on rookie deals as possible.

If we trade down it'll be with Carolina imo and we should get their 2nd this year plus 1st in 2022.

I must say I do appreciate the none hate, I didn't post for awhile because if i had an opinion and someone didn't agree with it they acted like you were speaking ill of their mother. I like this discussion and even if someone didn't agree they gave their opinion in a respectful manner

Don't let that dissuade you from posting.

There are many here who are able to respectfully disagree.

I’m with you brother. That’s why I try to not use words that may have even a “tone” that comes across different than intended. It’s good discussion and there’s no right answer. Welcome back!

 

[foozool13]

Thanks for the post OP, but I'm already against the first 5 words. PASS. No chance in hell I want to pay top money for a WR AND RB. I don't even wanna pay top dollar for either one.

No thanks on Ertz. If the eagles threw in Barnett and took on part of his contract then I'd be all for it

Don’t see golladay as a fit for what we need he’s just a better version of what Parker is. We need a slot baddddd.

Godwin would’ve been a perfect fit if he didn’t get tagged imo and can line up outside or in the slot.

we will regret within 1-2 years if we sign Aaron Jones. Would never go after a free agent running back that would command a salary like that unless it was a 1-2 year contract and we were a rb away from a Super Bowl, which were not.
