I just don't see the logic in spending draft picks on the guy unless you're bringing him in to be THE starter. And at that point, I have to be asking myself "WHY"? I just can't think of a good reason to bring Foles here when we're sitting on the #1 overall pick. Draft a backup in the 3rd this year. |

So it's OK to draft a QB at #65...but don't trade that pick for Foles!

I guess you've missed where most of the speculation is that getting Foles would require a SECOND round pick, not a 3rd. |

For my part at least, I have two scenarios in which Foles makes sense.
1)Reid loves the kid and thinks he's got 'it'. He doesn't feel like there's anyone in the draft that's any better and he's already got one year of tutelage with Foles, so it's a head start. You trade 1sts and get a 2nd/or give up a 3rd/whatever for the kid and don't look back. This is a Brett Favre to Green Bay scenario, not a Matt Cassel 2.0 scenario. 2)Reid likes the kid, thinks he's got potential but wants to stack the position, so he trades for him AND drafts the best QB available at the Chiefs highest pick. Depending on what you have to give up, that could be as high as #4 (a swap of firsts) or a 2nd. So it could still be Geno Smith/Wilson/Barkley/or Nassib/Dysert. If this happens, I think Reid's intention would be to have an open competition, best man wins. This is a less risky Seattle 2012 scenario. And again, I still think drafting Geno and signing a crafty old vet is my preference. It IS possible, however, that Reid thinks a Nassib or the like is just as likely to work out for him as Geno/Wilson/Barkley (Ryan's numbers are good, he's got a gun for an arm and high intangibles). It's all just speculation, anyway. |

Heck, they were already talking on ESPN this morning that the curve ball behind all of this might be that the only reason the Eagles kept Vick was to trade HIM!

Even if they take a QB 1 and spend a 3 on a trade for Foles, a new guy instead would only be a year younger potentially. Coaches are creatures of habit so they like to go with what they know and what got them there. Hence, taking all the same coaches with them and the same players.
