To be fair the Eagles had to trade up to draft Smith so they added a fourth rounder of their own along with the Colts first rounder and they absolutely fleeced the Titans to get Brown so it wasn’t just the Colts picks that got them there but it was still a horrible trade by the Colts.
@Undisciplined this is my submission for worst NFL trade of this millennia.
Can you top this?
Could be a good pod segment.
We'd have to compare it to the Herschel Walker trade, right? That's the consensus worst trade ever.
I remember the Ricky Williams trade being pretty insane, too.
Neither of those occurred this millennia.
Hmm, I can't think of a close second, then. The Russel Wilson trade was terrible, but not on that level. Deshaun Watson?
Who did the 49ers take with the Trubisky picks? That was a pretty dumb one.
49ers got Fred Warner out of that trade. The rest of the picks weren't very good. Definitely a good trade for 49ers but not on the Wentz level.
At the time seemed like a good idea
Trading for or up for QBs always look that way in the moment. Most of the time it doesn’t work out.
Wow, that wild! It’s not like IND would have made the same picks, but still
