Three questions:

1) If the Eagles figured they could trade all this for Mariota, then why on earth did they sign Tim Tebow?

2) So, to give up #2, the Titans will receive #19, #20, Mychel Kendricks and Fletcher Cox. Trading down 17 spots in the first round may be a record. Would the Titans really go there, even for that?

Reminds me a bit of what the Oilers gave Tampa Bay to acquire the rights to Earl Campbell.

3) So why would Sam The Slammed Bradford want to caddy Johnny Football?

1) Tebow signed a 1 year $660,000 contract with no guarantee. He will be given a chance to beat out Matt Barkley for the #3 job. What would that have to do with Marriota?

3) What Bradford wants really doesn't matter if the Eagles want to trade him.

I think two #1's, a young and talented/proven LB, and a young and talented/proven DE is a pretty good haul for the #2 pick - especially if you're not sold on the talent at the top of the draft. CLE is currently the only team with two #1's and they certainly couldn't offer the type of package that this PHL package is rumored to be. If the Texans had gotten that kind of offer last year (2 young starters and 2 #1's), I would've jumped on it

You wouldn't take:
Kendricks
Cox
And, say, Marcus Peters and Breshard Perriman

Over
Mariota or player xyz at #2?

I would take Fletcher Cox for Mariota and be a happy little camper. You throw in Kendricks and I will feel like I got away with grand larceny. Plus Perriman and then, I woke up.
