I think if we grade the QBs and like two and can't get them...then Foles is a nice option and we can give up more for him. Two picks (between this year and next) and no first rounders would be solid. Then we can work the draft this year too! I think my favourite options are... 1. Mayfield 2. Rosen 3. Foles

I'd give him a shot, but he's no 100% sure thing. All the reports are he's like Garappolo, someone people just gravitate towards. He apparently has the knack for saying the right thing at the right time to defuse a situation (the Ohio State players on the Senior Bowl bus report). I think he'll be fine. I'm more concerned by the vetted reports that he reads everything that is written about him, carries it around, and uses it as fuel. That can be motivational, but if he struggles and the negativity from fans and press stacks up , it can also be a heavy weight for a guy to bear, and potentially a bad look if he "claps back".

The most important piece to me is to have a great evaluation on the QBs in the draft and available in the league already. That is the key to making the best play. Yes but there is way too much to play out..... Do they want Kirk, or Nick. Maybe another FA What QBs in the draft are worth giving up several picks for? I dont know, I think they do. I hope. Paying several picks to get the 3rd or 4th best QB in this draft may not make the team any better.

The major benefits driving the Eagles to trading him now (if that's their choice) are cap space and draft picks, two things they sorely lack and might be willing to part with their "QB insurance policy" to solve. Once the cap is solved and the draft over with, why not hang onto him until you see for sure Wentz is back?

I am not moving my BU until Wentz is back on the field.

That is certainly the way I see it. Bradford should be a "cautionary tale" to the danger of bringing a guy back too quickly. And if they move Foles, Wentz isn't ready, and Sudfeld struggles, they'll look like fools.

Foles was TT this season until playoffs when Eagles essentially reused Chips offense that made him successful in 2013.

artmalibu Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Nicks value is best before/ during the draft. Eagles will want players this year, and QB needy teams will want to have a plan before waiting for the draft to play out.

Go get a top rookie Agreed...It would be one thing if the Bills could land Foles on the cheap as a bridge guy...But his market value could not possibly be higher at this point... It's a hard pass for me...

He's had one excellent season and one hot playoff stretch.
Paul Costa Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Does he play like a Super Bowl MVP on a consistent basis? Nope! Who does that’s available?? silly statement!! He’s the best possible player to make the Bills better at that position. There is no QB in the draft that you can say is going to be better than him. A couple of them may be but right now they don’t have a NFL resume. Nick Foles is not a top 5 QB but should be in the discussion of the lower end of top 10 (8th, 9th, or 10th). The Bills can trade for him using one of our firsts and maybe a lower pick or a 2019 4th we received from the Chiefs for Reggie Ragland. That way we will have a solid QB with money next year to resign him if he plays well. You would still have pick 21, 53, 56, 65, and 95 to help to solidify our defense and add a OL or WR. And although I liked TT, Foles would be a solid upgrade to a important position to a team that made the playoffs last year. 1

Unless they can't get under the cap any other way.
