    Can't see Mariota lasting to 10.

    Looks like Mariota bought one of those irobot roomba vacs, and he's showing it off.

    Kelly's laughing at him, wondering how it's gonna get into corners.

    Winston will help the Bucs revenue stream for sure if they get him.
    He's also easily the best QB prospect in the draft; a future pro-bowler, IMO, if he shows maturity.

    Pretty crazy so far.

    What Kelly is doing is stunning. If you told me at the end of the year that the Giants don't have to worry about McCoy, Maclin and Foles anymore, I would be all in. Really cuts the heart out of an offense that moved on the Giants at will ever since Chip has been there.

    Guessing Bradford can't be the answer, though I hear there is a coaching connection from the Rams now with Kelly, so who knows?

    Also seems like a pretty light return to the Rams for the Eagles to jump all the way up to 10!

    I guess Chip thinks Bradford will let him move up a few more slots to get MM, but with Sam's fragile history I really doubt he has all that much value. Really doubt Marcus lasts for them at #10.

    BTW, really liked the Giants own little move to help their offense. Shane Vereen caught 52 balls out of the backfield last year, and is very good in blitz pickup.

    I like the Lions move. Another monster on the line for less than Suh.

    Now hearing the Foles deal is not what I thought. No first round swap, sounds like conditional picks, so those are down the road...

    ESPN's reporting

    Philly gets Bradford & a 2015 5th rounder,

    St Lou gets Foles, a 2015 4th rounder and a 2016 2nd rounder. If Bradford doesn't start for Philly this year, the 2016 pick reverts to the Eagles.

    Puzzling as hell trade, if you ask me.

    Yep. Eagles don't give up those picks if Bradford doesn't start some specified amount of games.

    Either way, I'm looking up "painless suicide" on the 'Net at the moment....

    Has Sam Bradford played a full season since his rookie season? If Foles can stay healthy he might do well in St Louis/L.A. I like the Seattle/New Orleans deal. Sure, replacing Unger might prove difficult but many of Wilson's sacks were coverage related, meaning the receivers struggled to get open.

    I'm not surprised Jake Locker retired. Maybe he realized he'd be competing for second string at best where ever he landed. Yet another first round bust at QB.

    I don't know if I'd have the faith in Chip if I was an eagles fan.

    I have a hard time thinking someone who is taken down by countless injuries as being a bust (unless they had a history of it...which Locker might...Idk).

    That said, yeah...number 8 overall pick he shouldn't of been. I'll be honest though...I probably would've happily taken clipboard duty for a million + a year.

    Steeler free agent linebacker Jason Worilds is retiring at age 27. Another head scratcher, as he was about to get paid BIG!

    Strangest free agency season ever. (but most entertaining)

    I'm losing faith very quickly. I still don't understand WTF he's doing.

    Word around here was that the Eagles were targeting him.

    Well, Eagles fans were targeting him, anyway.

    Someone on Cleveland sports talk radio said yesterday that his sources say Kelly is targeting Brett Hundley, not Mariota. Imo, Hundley represents the best QB value pick in the draft (Upside v. cost.) I wouldn't take either of the top 2 QBs where they're slotted, and it could be Kelly's intention to develop someone behind Bradford for a couple years. However, Hundley won't be there in the 2nd round when the Eagles pick, and they won't take him at 10, so...we'll see. (This could all be bad information too.)

    Could be, but Chip has been so vocal in his support of Mariota, and of course there's the Oregon thing. Mariota just makes sense.

    Oh, and the Eagles currently have the 20th pick in the 1st round.

    No mention of Jimmy Graham going to Seattle? Pretty big move if you ask me!

    Huge move. Helps Seattle, obviously, but also hurts their offensive line, too. But I know New Orleans fans are pissed-off about this one.

    Yeah he's more of a big wide receiver than a TE. Not much of a blocker. Gives Wilson a big target out there though.

    Those snowballs? Might want to save a few for Shady, since the rumor mill says he told Gore to steer clear of Kelly. Foles is also overjoyed to be Chip-free.

    Jimmy Graham to Seattle is scary, but I wonder how they can afford him and still pay Wilson. All about the dollars, which is the reason why the Saints let Jimmy go. Also heard even Brees is not safe,who may be on the block to save the Saints cap.
