re: Saints and Eagles trade draft picks

We are good at sniping as the draft goes on, which makes this incredibly early move that much stranger.

Perhaps the reason is that Philly doesn't want to draft three first round rookies this year. They traded one of them for our pick next year. If they weren't planning on moving up with them, it makes more sense to have two first round picks in back to back years, plus picking up a second and a third.

I meant that they would have waited for the best offer available nearer the draft. My post was about timing not reason.

It’s extremely rare for a team to do a deal this early unless they have bigger plans and need the time to make it work.

I’m guessing the saints needed the deal done now and may have thrown in a late pick to get it done now, because they are going to do something with the picks and need time.
If not, Philly just waits til the highest bidder comes in closer to the draft.
Go look at when these trades are done. Rarely are they made this early and when they are this early , one of the teams almost always makes another move before the draft

They would wait and find out. People would call them too because the three picks are always gonna get attention.

I may be wrong but I just went by history and I can’t find a trade made this early without another deal coming

You are such a bitch
