So the Eagles may be trading Mychal Kendricks

CSN Philly's Andrew Kulp would be "mildly surprised" if Eagles ILB Mychal Kendricks is not traded "before or during the draft."
Kulp is just connecting dots, but he draws a very interesting picture. Even though Kendricks is entering the last year of his rookie deal, the Eagles have yet to approach him about an extension. They did extend DeMeco Ryans and traded for Kiko Alonso. Chip Kelly seems to be on a mission to rid his roster of players acquired by ex-GM Howie Roseman. Kendricks is a budding star, but Kelly has proven willing to part ways with star players at the drop of a hat.
Would you trade one of our 3rd round picks for the guy on draft day knowing that he could jet in 2016 for nothing? Remember that the NFL franchise tag does not distinguish OLBs and ILBs, so if we tag him (won't happen) we're paying him based on the salaries of players like Justin Houston and Aldon Smith.
To be fair, he would drastically improve our defense for at least one season.

Not for such a short time.

You'd think they'd work something out first. I'd absolutely give up a 3rd for him though.

For a mid 70s pick? Yes please.

Tough call. We are tight to the cap currently and not really in a position to sign any big contracts. Doing so would require back loading, which is something we just got finished fixing. Plus there are a handful of ILBs in this draft that are expected to be good. On the other hand this is a guy that is a known commodity, and we could bring him in and solidify the position with certainty. We do have the future room to sign him now, and we could rely on him for the next 4-5 yrs.
I lean towards drafting one of the guys with the 2nd rd pick, but could be persuaded to trade for him

I'd rather use that third to trade up from 31 to make sure we get the ILB we need in the draft.
Although Mychael is very good.

Very interesting. Where are they picking in the first? Could they offer Kendricks and swap 1st round picks?

I would absolutely trade a 3rd for him, but despite the speculation, I don't think they trade him.
1. They could definitely find snaps for all three (Alonso, Ryans, Kendricks), depending on the packages.
2. It never hurts to have depth, especially with Alonso coming off of an ACL tear.

Why would would the Eagles trade him for a 3rd when they drafted with a 2nd?
Wouldn't a team thinking of trading for him cut a new deal before pulling the trigger?
Just getting your thoughts on these.

they won't trade him unless its a sign and trade.
