DRC and a 1st for Kolb?

[Folster]

On Fox 10's Sports Night, Jude LaCava was talking to Mike Jurecki about possible options at QB. He of course talked about Bulger as a strong possibility, but also mentioned to get Kolb the Cards would have to give up a 1st and a starter and specifically mentioned DRC by name. He made no mention of any other possibilities. I checked Jurecki's twitter, but he hasn't tweeted anything about it.

It appears that we may have several contingency plans for QB. My guess is that they may look something like this in order of preference:

1. DRC + 1st/2nd for Kolb
2. Beanie/THT + possible pick for Palmer
3. Sign Hasselbeck
4. Sign Bulger

If Philly doesn't play ball then we move down the list.

 

[Divide Et Impera]

No. Too much.

And I am one who has wanted us to target Kolb as this year's Schaub/Cassel type breakthrough player. I wouldn't trade DRC+#1+#2 for either of Schaub/Cassel and they have someting more to base their careers on now after having proven something with their new teams.

I didn't mean DRC + a 1st and a 2nd. I meant DRC + a 1st or 2nd. Would you do DRC + a 1st? If not then how about DRC and a 2nd? I'd definitely do the latter.

The two most likely scenarios imo. I prefer Hass

 

[binkar]

I wouldn't touch that. I wouldn't do DRC and a 3rd.

 

[Divide Et Impera]

DRC for Kolb barely passes the fairness test, IMO. I suppose that QB is a more pressing position, Kolb therefore gets the nod in value....

 

[juza76]

i dont see why the eagles dreaming about giving this high value for kolb...the chief give for matt cassel a second round and he had an amazing first season ..kolb didnt show so much and he is in the last year of his contract and he wont sign for them next season..if they want rodgers cromartie they should give us kolb+a first or second round pick

 

[WarnerHOF]

It should be Kolb + a 1st for DRC.

 

[Divide Et Impera]

I'd go Toler/#1 for Kolb. Otherwise, I think DRC/#4 for Kolb/#3 really is a sweet spot....

 

[nooch]

1. DRC + 1st/2nd for Kolb
There on crack, free agent next year and limited resume. Hopefully they hang up laughing.

2. Beanie/THT + possible pick for Palmer
I'd do this, but Cincy's owner has proven to to be stuborn on trading disgruntled players. Why does he change now?

3. Sign Hasselbeck
Good option. Not sure he would sign here. Just my gut feeling.

4. Sign Bulger
Too much smoke on the possibility of him coming here. Probable.

 

[Stout]

They won't get a 1st, nor will they get DRC from us. They expect BOTH?

 

[Totally_Red]

It should be Kolb + a 1st for DRC.

If the Eagles are hot to trade Kolb that should activate the 'buyer beware' in the acquirer. The Eagles are not prone to trading away good young players period.

Yes, and Andy Reid says he's a championship QB. That may turn out to be the case but why are they ready to deal a "championship QB? I want Kolb and there's no way that I do that trade.

Two things scare me though. The Cards drafted PP and they usually use their 1st and 2nd rounders to replce guys they rea letting go in the near future. Secondly, Graves and Whiz keep saying they are going to be aggressive. To me, it sounds like "we are going to overpay".

Yup. I ask this question. If Philly had McNab and a "Championship QB" on their roster, why would they feel the need to take a huge risk (Locker room and PR) to sign Vick. It doesn't add up. The guy is a second round pick and hasn't proven he's more than a decent back up. I hope they go Palmer or Alex Smith. Hell, even Bulger.

 

[Cardiac]

DRC may well be trade bait, especially if we sign Ike Taylor in FA. Will DRC ever get his mind right? I would trade them even up Kolb or DRC if I liked Kolb.

 

[Reddog]

I would offer a #2 for Kolb or Palmer and if they don't bite sign Bulger and don't look back.

 

[DoTheDew]

Kevin Kolb has got to be the most overrated player to ever hit the trade market. Since when does a losing record as a starter on a team that has been above .500 the whole time he's been on the team and a 73.2 QB rating warrant a #1 pick AND a starter? If we give up anything more than a 2nd round pick for this guy it is going to be a huge disappointment.

Agreed, and I wouldn't even offer a 2.

3rd Rounder, tops.

 

[BigRedFan]

His first 2 starts were 300 yard games, first time ever, and a NFC player of the week in 2009, that's what started all the hype. The thing is, you take away those games and his stats are even worse. I think he has shown some potential, but not enough consistency to warrant such high compensation.

absolutely no way I would give DRC and a 1st/2nd for Kolb. With our present team we very well could end up with a 1-5 pick next year. We could be giving up Andrew Luck. I would offer a 2nd round next year and no more and certainly not throw in DRC. To me Kolb fits right in with some of the QBs we could have drafted in round s 2 & 3.

Plus - he couldn't get his starting job back when he came off the injured list.

We finally seem to be finally putting together an elite secondary -that we don't have to worry about. I hope we don't screw things up by weakening in order to get a 2nd round-caliber QB.

 

[chickenhead]

Kolb is overhyped but that might just mean the Eagles are doing their job well in marketing him. He's not overrated yet because no one has traded for him. Generally speaking NFL player are traded for less than their perceived value so I would be surprised if the Eagles got a high pick and a quality starter. But as we always say, all it takes is one team...

 

[JCSunsfan]

Beanie for Palmer and lets go. Bulger is fine too, since you do not have to give anything up.

 

[TJ]

Love Kolb and although people are down on him in the last post, he is aggressive, can make all of the throws and reads defenses well.

As for the comment about him not taking back the starting job: who was going to supplant the Michael Vick Experience v. 2.0 last season?

A trade for Kolb comes with risk, but this is what the team needs. He is young enough that he can be our guy for years to come.

With that said, a first and DRC is ludicrous and not even Graves would make such a lopsided deal. That would make our secondary worse than it was last season as our #1 CB would either be a rookie or Toler, who is a solid #2 at best
