Same.

But while I'd like to see us draft a qb in the first, at this point I think it's looking unlikely. So Foles would be my second option. I wanted the Chiefs to draft him last year.

I don't see the price to acquire Foles being reasonable. Philly needs QBs just as bad as KC does. Why would they let him go for anything less than too much? I realize he doesn't fit what people think Kelly will want, but they aren't going to let him go for a song with no other experienced QB on their roster.

His price will be higher than his value. Just no.

ummmm.... no, that would be really dumb

although I'm happy to move ahead with Foles in Philly, you'd rather go with another young guy if that's your route, e.g. Geno

better off with a real vet, e.g. Kevin Kolb, if you are going to wait for the franchise guy until next year



to clarify: Foles already is in Philly, we don't need to trade anything, etc. to get him, we are in a stop gap scenario with a college coach coming in, we can run Foles for a year and then replace him ; you guys have #1 so if you want to go young this year then get Geno

redundant info: i've posted this a couple times but just to get it out there for sure, i'm overseas and one of my closest friends/colleagues is another American from Kansas, went to KU, huge Chiefs and Jayhawk fan ; SO, we take an interest in each other's teams and this AR coincidence and me on the Eagle message board brought me here

Foles was a 3rd rounder because a) he was on a bad team which made him look worse and b) he ran a slow 40, with the "trend" being toward more mobile QBs. In Reid's system, the latter doesn't matter. That's why he slipped. He has EVERYTHING else. When he played, he exceeded expectations. All that having been said, he was a 3rd round pick in what may go down as the best QB draft of all time. IN this, relatively weak draft, that alone makes him early 2nd round value. The fact that he exceeded expectations makes him probably late first round value. Some mock drafts (Mel Kiper's for what its worth) have NO QBs with first round grades, and this is a weak draft all around.

Don't be fooled by the 3rd round pick thing. This guy can play. Don't be fooled by "we can pick a guy 1st overall". There aren't any good QBs in this draft.
