Bad trade Stan
Nah, just a philosophy shift. He's pushing his chips in and it's probably a good idea.

That team, as presently constructed, is going stale quickly. And sure, those 6 guys might even yield a couple of pretty significant contributors ('make the team' ain't exactly a high bar). But they'd probably still be capped at a 10 win team and a one and done with their QB situation.

So Stan's essentially saying - "fine, we're going all in on Wentz/Goff and if it doesn't work, we'll suck for 4 years, probably be drafting top 3 again and start over."

It's a hell of a lot better than spinning your wheels for 4 years and sitting there in 2020 with your brand new stadium being 1/2 full wondering what the hell you're going to do drafting 14 again.
