Ok, to finally clarify (per @AllbrightNFL):

#Eagles get 8th overall pick, 4th rd pick.

#Dolphins get 13th overall pick, Alonso & Maxwell.

Perkins is likely a 2 or 3rd rounder, you will have lineman you can still find.

No I'd even consider moving back if they do indeed have that pick to gain more picks........

Maybe Ronnie Stanley at 8 but could also see Jared Goff, Vernon Hargreaves, & Myles Jack being under heavy consideration.

Of course this is all assuming they have the 8th pick if not it doesn't mean a thing.

My thoughts exactly. Get the 8 and then move back

yea i'd agree with trading down hopefully picking up a 2nd and 3rd if possible with it
Goff will be gone quick can't see him being there at 8
hmm I know the Raiders might be targeting Miles Jack

Elliotte Friedman specifically named the Flyers as being in on Drouin as recently as in his post-deadline article. He's reputable. And lord knows, with the Cone of Silence Hextall has installed in his office, information doesn't leak out easily. The only other team Friedman specifically mentioned was the Senators, and their GM pretty much flat out admitted he went after Drouin. Hexy don't play like that.

I wonder if Hextall handles it like Lamorello. Rumor has it, if Lou read in the press about a rumor that was even close, he'd pull the plug on an offer.

They still managed to dump a load of salary and get rid of an enigmatic, injury prone & underachieving LB, a decent but overpaid CB and a vastly overpaid and unmotivated RB. Even if all they got was a couple of 4th rounders, I'm onboard

I'd hope for more then that, but if the swapping of the 1st rounds is true that's the bonus.

I mean, that's just silly and self-defeating to take it to those lengths

He loves his secrecy though. I doubt he loves leaks. But I don't think he'd be foolish enough to change his mind and not help his team based off a leak. Probably makes him double down on the secrecy though. And all the Vinny stuff started leaking a day or so before the trade....he didn't pull the plug on that one. He should've -- stand by your guns, I always say!

The swap of 1sts would be gravy. But I'd just be happy to be rid of three potential headaches and free up cap space.
