In some ways it comes back to the old debate between drafting for need vs BPA/"value". Philly needed to upgrade their WR room...so they went out and traded a first and a third to move up just two spots in the 1st to draft Devonta Smith....and then turned around and traded a first and third to bring in AJ Brown. Needed a RB, and went out and gave Saquon a top-of-the-market rate in free agency. Needed to revamp their secondary...drafted CB in the first AND traded up to be able to draft their desired CB in the second. Of course that is not the only way to succeed but I don't think you are EVER going to see that kind of aggression out of the current administration here...Spending a first on a WR then trading a first for another is probably the kind of thing that wakes Gute up in the middle of the night sweating buckets...</blockquote>
