So the Rams and Eagles have each made big trades to get the #1 and #2 picks next week. They are obviously moving up to get the QB each needs. Paxton sounds like he is firmly the third top rated QB. So these moves mean that Pax will be the highest rated QB after the second pick is made.

This all means that although Pax is hanging around at the #25-35 rated overall player, he will almost definitely be gone earlier than that. Some team will get antsy that the QB's are running off the board and they will pull the trigger on him - maybe as high as #7 or #8.

He has to be happy with these moves.

While he will be happy in receiving a bigger paycheck by being selected in top 10 , there is a strong possibility that the dysfunctional Browns could select him at #8. Hope someone else trade up before that happens or maybe the 49ers take him at #7. I doubt Cowboys will take him at #4 but who knows, that's a place apparently Paxton would like to go to...

Please no Cleveland. Please, no!!!!!!!!

He was already the 3rd QB going to be taken and a 1st round draft pick.

Not much has changed for him.

This. Over and over this. Cleveland can/will/does end QB careers. Wasteland for talent.

The Eagles aren't taking a QB.

There's a huge difference in contracts between picks 10 and 20

There is zero doubt the Eagles are taking a QB.

And I'm pretty sure his name is either Goff or Wentz.

He was already a lock to be an instant millionaire with his first contract.

Again, not a lot has changed. Goff and Wentz have been going in the top 5 all along, well before these trades.

He could go top 10, or he could fall to mid or late first round. I think he will go top 15, but there is just no way to know right now. Whats important is landing with the right franchise. No one will care if he was picked 8th or 22nd 5 years from now.

When you look at the QB's they already have and the salary they are being paid, the eagles are looking more and more like a disorganized franchise making poor decisions.

They have a lot of holes across both side of the ball, but here they are trading away multiple picks to take ANOTHER QB.

Sports Illustrated now has him going 20 to the Jets in their mock.

The Titans and the Browns are the big winners here imo. They just racked up a whole extra draft class along with what they already had coming the next 2 years.

Of course you have to cash in and make these picks count, otherwise it will look really bad in a few years. Wentz will probably be a franchise QB, and Goff could as well.

But WOW did both teams rack up on a ton of high draft picks. The Rams and Eagles WAYYYY overpaid imo.

What Cleveland got from Philly:

1st round pick 2016
3rd round pick 2016
4th round pick 2016

plus...
1st round pick 2017

plus...
2nd round pick 2018


All Cleveland had to do was move down 6 spots in the 1st round and in return they got ALL those extra picks.

WOWOWOWOW


That may be the best move that franchise has made in 40+ years.

now they have to do something with it. Jimmy Johnson had a deal for a bunch of players that he used to draft many starters for the Cowboys back in the day.
If Cleveland whiffs on these picks...they'll be regarded as universally stupid.

Was that the Herschel Walker deal? Like 14 players involved or something?

Cleveland has the money ball guy that worked under Billy Beane running things now. The dude knows what he's doing. He will eventually need a QB to win doe
