OT: Philadelphia Eagles: Defending The Crown: 2018 Season Part V

[Chinatown88]

3rd round pick.

 

[Hurricane28]

This is an overpay

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm a little surprised Detroit traded him (though I guess I shouldn't be).

 

[Halladay]

Foles getting traded?

 

[Jtown]

the eagles can easily recoup the pick if he signs else where as a compensatory pick.

 

[Jtown]

Foles getting traded?

i hope. where did you hear that.

 

[Halladay]

i hope. where did you hear that.

I didnt. Just a guess to recoup this price.

 

[La Masse]

I think a RB or a corner would have been better especially if Wallace comes back

 

[Cody Webster]

I didnt. Just a guess to recoup this price.

Schefter was on 975 this morning and said his name has not come up once in the past weeks

 

[bennysflyers16]

Tate should def take some heat off the O line at least. Will be tough to cover Alshon, Tate and Ertz.

Would love a Foles trade, but where ?

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

Seems like a good deal. If it seems like an overpay at face value, keep in mind that if he walks after the end of the season, they'll get a comp pick in 2020. If they decide to re-sign him, then f***, you got a pretty good receiver for a 3rd.

 

[La Masse]

From what I remember, Tate is a yac machine

 

[Jtown]

Daniel Jeremiah✔@MoveTheSticks
If Tate walks after the season, PHI would likely receive a 3rd or 4th rd comp pick in 2020. Lions chose to make the trade to get that pick now, instead of waiting a year for comp pick. So many teams need weapons for their young QBs...Tate will get big money in the offseason.

I like Tate, don’t really like the price and don’t see him as a great fit. Would have preferred a corner.

He’s good after the catch though, which is a plus.

he is the only wr on the team that stretches the field. It was a need. The compensatory aspect makes this a wash. I really don't understand what there is to not like about this deal.

Tate isn’t a guy that stretches the field though? He’s a possession slot receiver with great YAC.

Am I totally off about him or something?

You're not.

tate can lineup anywhere on the field. he is not a slot receiver though he has been used there. And on this team he instantly becomes our big play threat. He most definitely will stretch the field.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

This allows us to put Nelson back into situations he’s more comfortable with.

Also the comp pick will be a 4th if he’s not resigned?

 

[DancingPanther]

Adding another weapon at WR will only make running the ball easier. Teams won't be able to stack the box.

Lest we forget to the Cowboys traded a FIRST for Amari Cooper lol

We also have our 1st, two 2nds, and what projects to be a 4th via compensation for Burton

Noice

he doesn't play corner?

 

[Young Sandwich]

From what I remember, Tate is a yac machine

He's elite in that category. Here's a pretty interesting article I remember reading earlier this year: Metrics that Matter: Is Golden Tate among the league's elite WRs? | Fantasy Analysis | Pro Football Focus

I can see them lining him up all over the field and getting the ball in his hands ASAP.

 

[La Masse]

he doesn't play corner?

Change Mills and it wouldnt be as bad

 

[achdumeingute]

Change Mills and it wouldnt be as bad

umm the backups are not better than Mills, per se...

 

[Jtown]

this defense will look completely different when they play with a lead, like they did last year. Boost the offense get them going , and then force teams to become one dimensional on you. Its a formula that worked out well for us last year.
