Eagles
-
Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com believes the Eagles will be looking to come away from round one with an impact player, as opposed to trading back for more selections like they did last year.
-
Kempski’s sense is that Philadelphia may want to move up the board, possibly in the teens.
-
As of now, the Eagles are projected to have nine draft picks to work with in 2019 and should be in line for more compensatory picks in 2020 after some free agents depart.
Giants
-
According to Jordan Raanan, there’s a “strong belief” the Giants will address the quarterback position early in this year’s draft.
-
Should the Giants fall in love with Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins, Raanan says New York will need to trade up from No. 6 overall to get him.
-
Last year, the Jets traded up to No. 3 from No. 6 and parted with three second-round picks in the process.
-
Before that, the Redskins gave up two future first-round picks and a second to trade up for Robert Griffin III.
Redskins
-
JP Finlay of NBC Washington mentions that even if Redskins QB Alex Smith can’t play in 2019, he could still be a valuable member in team meetings.
-
Smith has served as a mentor for quarterbacks in the past and could work with new QBs coach Tim Rattay to get their quarterbacks ready to play.

REPEAT AFTER ME!!!!! Troy Smith, Terelle Pryor, Braxton Miller, Cardale Jones, JT Barrett and now Dwayne Haskins. When was the last time a Ohio State QB made an impact in the NFL? Don’t even bother fitting Kent Graham’s name into the equation.
All the NFL fans were told by the Media how great Smith, Pryor, Miller, Jones and Barrett were in college. And they were all basically anointed CAN’T MISS prospects as QBs at the pro level by most ANALysts. Well! Let’s see how they fared. Smith is out of the NFL, Pryor became a receiver and couldn’t last with the receiving starved Redskins, Jets and Bills. Miller also converted to receiver/tight end and was cut by the Texans. Jones, I believe was with the Bills and Chargers and released this year. And Barrett was just released by the Saints if I’m not mistaken. Haskins falls into the same mold, nothing more. But! The Media and their Haskns Hype Train will never cease. When! Haskins fails as a NFL QB and he will, the Media will proceed to label Haskins a BUST!
Now! As for the GMEN trading up from #6 to draft Haskins. You got to be on crack, it ain’t happening. Gettleman already stated numerous times, that he wants game changers on defense. And that is exactly where the 6th pick is going. If the GMEN could recoup a needed 3rd rounder via trade of Vernon, Jenkins or Ogletree, the GMEN could land WVUs Will Grier. Although I really see a “Tank For A QB 2020” next season and finish the rebuild with a QB of the future 2020 NFL DRAFT.
I personally think the GMEN should sign Bridgewater as one option. Make a trade offer for Cam Newton as a second option. Or! Draft Grier and have him and Lauletta battle it out for the starting QB spot. That is based on the GMEN Brass moving on this offseason from Elisha Manning.
Remember! It’s not, “what have you done for me 7 to 10 years ago, it’s what have you done for me recently.” And we all know where Elisha Manning falls in that category.
