Kiper has Matt Jones going to the Eagles

I thought this was worthy of its own thread. How much would this suck if he went to the Eagles. They have the talent to keep him on the bench and grrom him. They would get arguably one of the best talents out of the draft with the 31st pick....

or he could be their jeff george and waste a lot of the team's time.

Matt Jones will be gone before Eagles pick. He needs to develope his blocking,but don't need as much "groomimg" as many people think.

I would like to see the skins trade down & give up Gardner for someone else's 1st round and 2 rd pick. Then take Jones with the 1st rd pick. That kid is a beast. I was at the SC vs Arkansas game last season and he has some wheels. He was clocked at a 4.3 40 and he is 6'6". He has great hands from his b-ball days and Chris Mortenson (kids goes to Ark as a backup QB) says he is the athlete of the draft. Skins should take him. He would play behind Patten, Moss, Thrash and Jacobs.Probably wishfull thinking!

If someone gave us their 1st and 2nd rounder for Gardner, I would be AMAZED! It's not happening. We'll be lucky to even get a trade partner! Seriously though, I think we can still get a 3rd round pick for him, but we'll see. There aren't many teams showing interest.

If we can get this kid Jones in the 2nd or 3rd round, it would be a steal. But I think he'll be gone by early 2nd round.

By the way, welcome to the board gusbus!

I think he means Gardner and the #9 pick, which isn't ouotrageous.

Honestly, if somehow we could end up with Jones, I'd be very happy to have him as a project.

Ok, now that makes sense.

The Eagles are exactly the team that can most afford to gamble on Jones since they are loaded with talent and cap room. If he is a bust they still won't miss a beat.

The skins can not afford to come up empty in the first round so they are the last team that should be thinking matt Jones.

I'm definitely not thinking him first round, however if we end up with a second round pick by trading down (if possible), I would like to see us take the gamble after we've address our needs at either WR or CB.
