Thread: Eagles News: Von Miller listed among potential trade targets!

The Bears gave up a late first round pick in 2019, another next year and a 3rd rounder in 2020 and got Mack plus the Raiders probably high second rounder in 2020.

Von might get you a first, but any team that would trade for him would be an 11-5 or 12-4 type team that thinks Von will win them a SB right away. They won't have a great draft pick.

And Chris Harris might get you a 3rd rounder? The Broncos have drafted Dre'Mont Jones, Isaac Yiadom and Carlos Henderson in the 3rd round in the last 3 seasons.

Do we really think Elway will make use of that 3rd rounder to get someone to replace Chris Harris? Or even produce an impact player at any position?

You. Do. Not. Stop. Acquiring. Draft. Picks. Because. Other. Draft. Picks. Busted.

I don't want to trade Von per se, but I have no sacred cows. Do the Eagles even have the ammo, though?

Why? I don't want to trade Von. I love me some Von. This is a known thing. Don't get s/mad at me, get s/mad at the shitty drafting and FA choices that got us here.

I won't fight with you, Nomad. If you want to disparage a favorite thing of mine, that is your right.

I'm not opposed to a trade if it's part of a Strategic Plan that provides a real way forward. I'm saying that the Broncos aren't getting 4 first round picks. I'm saying they would get at most ONE first round pick, and maybe a 3rd rounder.

AND I'm saying that John Elway cannot be the person making those picks because he's proven that he can't find talent in the third round.

What I object to most is that there was no real strategic plan from Elway the last 3 years. There's been ridiculous fantasies about how good their team is and how everything is gonna turn around once we get rid of Vance Joseph.

Well, that fantasy exploded. However bad Vance was (and he was pretty bad), this ain't any better. Scangarella doesn't look like he knows how to call games.

Team sucks = trade your best players.

Stupid.

If you aren't winning with them and you need a rebuild, and your best players are aging...it's not necessarily stupid. It often can be smart.

But when your team sucks shouldn’t you replace the players that suck?

You do both. You get the assets you can and go large scale revamp. Sometimes you have so many holes in the team that the fastest way back to the playoffs is the rebuild.

This is not the NBA. No team is so bad they need a total rebuild. That thinking turns you into the Cleveland Browns. You also can’t attract FA’s when you set out to suck. IF lock is a franchise QB, then you don’t need a fire sale to suddenly be in the mix. But we need a few quality drafts.

The logic is simple. Why pay an elite player $20m if you're years away from competing. By the time the team is ready to win again, Von would be several years older. Better to start over with good young players by selling everybody for draft picks.

I don't fully buy this idea but the team really does need as many draft picks as they can get.
