@Diamond_sound_P Depends what the additional picks and conditions are.
I mean if it’s a 2027/2028 1st v 2027 2nd (cond. 1st) and a 2028 2nd. I think I’d rather have option B as long as the conditions are reasonable.
@Mike_Kurland Mead’s played well enough against RHP that he’s starting to see that time. If he continues to hit them, he’ll start seeing ABs even against tougher RHP.
For the time being, he’s better in dailies because you can sub him out in these spots.
@DiBiaseLOE@DiBonaNFL I think the trade is done in principle and this is all just click-bait nonsense. I think it's a 1st plus another pick (or a significant pick upgrade 2nd for a 4th type deal), but the deal also puts a bow on the Eagles pushing the tampering issue.
If it is less than that ...
@jaredsmithbets I don’t think tampering falls under the personal conduct policy because that is a team issue. I think the Brown to Pats deal will tell us a lot about whether the tampering portion of this story has been resolved or not.
@DiBonaNFL I think Epps is being undersold and Mukuba is being treated like too much of a sure thing. In any event, it’s less about upgrading and more about having 3 guys they feel comfortable playing/competition with Carter for that 3rd spot.
@HMXPt2@DiBiaseLOE I fail to see how your statement refutes mine. The point is they have already invested a ton of capital in the position. I seriously doubt they are going to throw more at the position. Boutte is an alright player, I wouldn't have hated acquiring him before all these other moves.
@HMXPt2@DiBiaseLOE If they shared your assessment of Boutte, I seriously doubt they would've acquired Makai Lemon, (and extended) Dontayvion Wicks, Hollywood Brown, and Elijah Moore. They also like Darius Cooper. The roster math doesn't math.
@DiBiaseLOE That said, I don't buy this spec on the comp. The fact that Boutte is mentioned means to me that this is just for clicks because, at present, that makes no sense for the Eagles. If they had gotten Sadiq and not touched WR, I would say Boutte could have been part of the convo.
@DiBiaseLOE If the deal is a 2028 1st and not at least a 3rd or conditional 4th that can turn into a 3rd next year, then they better be pushing for tampering comp separately.
