SI: The 49ers intended to trade Kaepernick to Philly
Report: Eagles backed out of trade for Colin Kaepernick intending to draft Russell Wilson
BY BRIAN KOTLOFF The Eagles reportedly had a trade in place to acquire Colin Kaepernick for a second-round pick last offseason. The NFL’s top two emerging young quarterbacks apparently slipped through the Philadelphia Eagles’ grasp last offseason. Prior to the 2012 NFL Draft, the Eagles came close to trading a second-round pick for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, but backed out of the deal thinking they could draft Russell Wilson, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The 49ers were open to trading Kaepernick because Alex Smith, who they eventually traded to the Chiefs, had led them to the NFC Championship Game in 2011. But the Eagles’ decision backfired when the Seattle Seahawks selected Wilson with the 12th pick in the third round, forcing Philadelphia to settle for current backup Nick Foles 13 picks later. According to the report, the Eagles had “geared their whole draft around” Wilson, who led the Seahawks to the playoffs during a spectacular rookie season in 2012. Wilson and Kaepernick face off on Sunday Night Football this week, guiding what many consider the two best teams in the NFC. http://tracking.si.com/2013/09/15/ea...?sct=obnetwork |

Interesting, but that actually makes Philly look pretty stupid on the surface. Take him in the second round if you truly have "geared their whole draft" around Wilson. Or, just trade for Kaep when it came to their pick in the second since Wilson was still there?
And just let me take this opportunity to remind everyone that the Chiefs took Donald Stephenson in the third round exactly one pick before Seattle took Wilson. ![]() |

I'm not saying no one called for it, but I'd love to see where people were posting their genuine breakdown of Kapernick as a major major sleeper worthy of the Chiefs 1st. Or, that he was poised to rise to his level of play now- because it seems like according to this article the niners didn't even know what they had and took a flyer on the guy.
Links?

It's the Bernard Pollard Space/Time Continuum Theorum being applied to game changing QB's once again. This shit is CRAZY.

Obviously KC getting Cassel. But then you've got Chicago getting Cutler because he wet the bed after hearing about McD wanting Cassel in Denver. |
