What if Andy Reid takes Joeckel first overall, Jacksonville picks the draft's best pass rusher in Jarvis Jones (when healthy) and Star Lotulalei winds up a Raider.

What should the Eagles do? What would you do? Is there a player left worthy picking at 4th overall?

What option/player would you pick and why? Reid below! If it's option 3 for you, tell me the team they trade with, the player they should pick in their spot, why that team trades up and the compensation the Eagles receive in return...

1) Demarcus Milliner;
2) Manti Te'o;
3) Trade down.


Like to hear from you...

Trade down

[Eagle_69]

under that circumstance, you trade down
unless the new coach absolutely LOVES Geno, or Millner or some other prospect

[egforever]

I would trade down unless you think one of the available players are worthy of that pick.  It would be ideal to get 2 -1st rd picks back.

[MCoster]

Trading down isn't as easy as everyone makes it seem. If they're gone, who would want to trade up. Teo and milliner are lucky to be top 10 picks. IMO ur forced to go bpa with Werner or moore

Exactly the reaction I was looking for! Thanks! Trading down wouldn't be easy if there's no interesting player to trade up for. Maybe teams fall in love with a specific player but there aren't a lot in this draft worthy breaking the bank for...

[GoEagles614]

Teo just got exposed on the championship. Missed tackles against good competition, all night.

He's just dropped from top 10 to 20-30

[WaitingForSomeday]

Hopefully, tradeback (a team needing Geno perhaps).  Otherwise, D.Jordan or T.Lewan.

[birdguy]

Hopefully Geno slips to #4 and a team like Arizona or Buffalo wants to trade up a few slots to secure him.

This would be a dream scenario IMO in that we keep a top 10 pick and pick up an early 2nd (may have to throw in a mid-round pick to make it work).

Trade down and acquire both of St. Louis 1st round picks, draft Matt Elam and Xavier Rhodes in the first.

Then draft any Bama offensive linemen that is available at the top of the second.

[kitko60]

Trade down or if you can't trade down bite the bullet and take BPA who would be Warmack, LG from Alabama.  I see no chances that this kid isn't a perennial Pro Bowl selection.

[BirdGang45]

Trade back draft Xavier Rhodes.

[morphius12812003]

Not sure, I think Andy might relish the opportunity to draft his guy again.

Think, Donovan pick #2
Geno Smith pick #1

Similiar in early career makeup.

[caza]

trade down for rebuild

[Mr.BigKnuckles]

Have to trade back and stack the picks. Never know what teams think of players that are left on the board, they may fit perfectly into their scheme or just a glariing need! 4th pick is a great spot to still get QB or stud Lineman.

Eagles have a lot of needs and getting more picks is only way to start getting that Bleed Green first mentality back into the Team. Which is something this team needs more than anything!

[ThaPhenom]

either trade down to get Milliner, or trade down to get Warmack

But id also take Star Lotulelei (assuming he wasnt taken already) at #4.... js seeing as you didnt give that option

[Rob331]

Trade down!

The 4th pick is worth 1800 points on the draft value chart, but the chart hasn't really been re-settled since the last CBA. Nevertheless, as it currently sits the 4th pick could get us both of St. Louis' 1st round picks - pick 16 @ 1000 and pick 22 @ 780. The problem is, why would Jeff Fisher do that, he doesn't need Geno Smith and no one else has emerged with that kind of appeal.

Oakland and Jacksonville don't look ripe for a quarterback. If the Raiders are giving up on palmer they have Pryor who they gave up this year's #2 to get. Smith is a Pryor clone so that's not in the cards. Jacksonville has both Gabbert and Henne. not likely they'll give up on  a 1st round pick yet.

Arizona need a QB and they pick 7th - they know the Eagles, Detroit, and Cleveland won't be picking a QB so they probably won't be in the market to trade with us.

CBS has the players rated this way - 1-Joeckel, 2-Werner, 3-Warmack, 4-J Jones, 5-D Moore, 6-Mingo, 7-Milliner, 8-Lotolulei, 9-Te'o, and 10-G Smith so there's a chance the Eagles can get Jarvis Jones at #4.

PLEASE NO!! I understand that Jarvis Jones is a great LB but he's got Spinal Stenosis(dunno if i spelled  that correctly), which will limit the length of his career big time

"Jones attended USC for his freshman year. During a game against Oregon Jones suffered a neck injury. He was later diagnosed with spinal stenosis and the USC medical staff would not clear him to play for the team again^"

^thus he transfered to Georgia just so his career would continue... i dont want that risk

[Milkman420]

^gotta love the sec and the crap they do with no regards to the players

He'll probably be able to get Smith with the first pick in the 2nd round.

I gotta think Kelly wants as many picks as possible to start bringing in his type of players. Depends on who's there at 4 but I think a trade down is likely.
