Flyfreak 84 Posted January 20, 2015 A source tells NJ.com that the Eagles will "try" to move up in the NFL draft to select Oregon QB Marcus Mariota. NJ.com's source is "familiar with the Eagles' offseason plans." Of course, anyone can connect the dots from coach Chip Kelly to Mariota. Kelly recruited Mariota to Oregon, called him the most talented kid he ever coached in college and immobile Nick Foles was shaky before getting injured last season. Moving up from No. 20 in the draft to the top-two would be extremely costly (as the Redskins found out in the RG3 trade), but it's possible Mariota slips a bit as the draft process plays out.

Flyfreak 84 Posted January 20, 2015 Interesting to see what happens same here, i don't see how this plays out unless the eagles try to work out a trade with whoever picks him he's supposedly will be drafted anywhere 2-10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BufordT 371 Posted January 20, 2015 If I'm running the Tennessee Titans, I would gladly (and desperately) work a trade with Eagles. I wonder if Chip will try to package Dennis Dixon in any of these deals? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
