who needs a draft party when you can just go to chickie's and petes and get shitfaced instead
i mean i like carson wentz as a qb but i also think that he's not that of a 100% can't miss guy that you needed to trade up for him when you have a perfectly ok guy in sam bradford when sam bradford is healthy and not having ptsd flashbacks to the time a defensive player looked at him the wrong way. i would've been satisfied with getting bradford an offensive tackle (and a guard) so he doesn't get instagibbed over the course of the season.
now bradford rightfully is gonna leave, wentz is probably gonna be stuck as the starter behind an aging oline even though he should sit on the bench and develop, on one hand the nfc east is a clown car but on the other hand idk

eh SEPTA is slightly better with the trains but the tradeoff is that every single philadelphia bus is, at any given time, a freezing crowded pos so i dunno.
i think the worst part is i took the long island rail to get from hempstead back to jamaica, the train i was in legit just sat there for 20 minutes before leaving, like i'm deadass just making small talk with people who are all confused as to why we haven't left and by the time i transfer back to the line that takes me back to penn avenue's amtrak i'm 30 minutes late and i can't refund it since it's the 2nd part of a round trip back, so that's another $50 and an hour+ of waiting to get back to 30th street in philadelphia, then i have to take another regional rail to get home. made a 2-3 hour affair like 4, 5 hours.
but that's life in general, you're late for shit and pay for things you didn't want to pay for and then you die

Well, getting shitfaced has no appeal when you don't drink.
The thing is that the division is ripe for the taking in the near future. Eli is getting old. Romo is getting old and is held together with tape. Washington is Washington. If they can get a QB pick correct now, you're looking at another situation like they had with Donovan where they pretty much own the division for the better portion of a decade. They also have to do it now because while nobody is "omg this guys is amazing garunteed", this draft class for QBs is still being rated as better than the next two.
Yes, Bradford is "perfectly okay" and that's the problem. He has never acceled outside of his rookie year, never been to the playoffs, hell, he's never even been on a team with a winning record. He is a QB that will keep the Eagles in the high teens/low twenties in the draft every year and never win anything. If they get rid of Bradford then Wentz can still ride the bench. They signed Chase Daniel for a reason. He'll play the Pederson role until Wentz is ready.
Aging O-line? Kelce is 28, Andrews is 24, Jones is 25, Brooks is 26, Bunche is 24, Boyko is 23, and Johnson is 25. The only super old lineman they have is Peters at 34. It'd be one thing if you're talking about lack of confidence in depth, but age doesn't seem to be a valid critique here.
