If we really covet someone like Murray, I could see us taking the route that the Eagles took to get Wentz a couple years ago.
Remember, before the draft they traded up with us to #8. (We got 13, Kiko and Maxwell - which ended up being Tunsil).
And then on draft day they traded from 8 to 2.
I could see us actually taking this exact path.
From 13 to 8 with Detroit (maybe using a player as bait, I wonder who Detroit would want) - they have huge needs on the defensive side of the ball, so maybe a package surrounded with 13 and a guy like Charles Harris (I know the blowback on moving him so quick but if he has any value to get us our QB he is replaceable) and maybe either TJ or McCain?
13 - Harris - TJ/Bobby would be VERY similar to the 13 - Kiko - Maxwell package we got
That puts us ahead of the Elways and right behind the Coughlins and Coughlins
The Eagles then gave up #8, a third- and fourth-round selection in the 2017 draft, and a 1st and 2nd in 2018. The
Eagles also got a conditional fifth-round pick (a compensatory fourth-rounder, if available) from the
Browns in 2018.
That's a lot. It would kill our 2020 plans, while putting the QB on the roster now. The upside is we would keep a 2nd round pick this year to hopefully add an interior lineman on one side of the ball (Boston College OG Chris Lindstrom is probably a target of our Boston based staff).
I am not a believer in waiting, especially because we are reminded year in and year out how much things change. I say you pull the trigger if possible.
The total price to get up to 2 in this scenario (and based off of what Philly did) would be:
#13, Charles Harris, Bobby McCain, our 3rd round pick, our 4th round pick, our 2020 1st, our 2020 2nd.
