Potential Trade No. 2
Eagles receive: No. 6 overall pick
Jets receive: first-, third- and fourth-round picks in 2015; first- and third-round picks in 2016
The third possibility the Eagles have is to send players in addition to picks.
Projecting this type of trade gets complicated because it's impossible to know just how each side values the players, or even which players might be discussed.
In 2009, the Jets and Browns completed this type of draft-day trade. The Browns sent the fifth overall selection (Mark Sanchez) to the Jets in exchange for the 17th and 52nd picks and Kenyon Coleman, Brett Ratliff and Abram Elam.
Based on the original trade value chart, the fifth pick is worth 1,700 points, while the 17th and 52nd picks add up to only 1,330 points. The difference of 370 points is the equivalent of the 53rd pick, meaning the Browns valued the combination of Coleman, Ratliff and Elam as a mid-second-round selection.
Assuming the Eagles can find a trade partner interested in discussing players and picks, we can assume they would need to send someone of at least second-round value in addition to their first- and second-round selections.
Nick Foles would be expendable if the Eagles were moving up for Mariota and could be viewed by some teams as a second-round value. LeSean McCoy's name has also been thrown around by those speculating trade scenarios, but would a rebuilding team want a 27-year-old running back?
The Eagles probably have enough to put together a viable offer involving players, but then they have to find a trading partner interested in those pieces.
Potential Trade No. 3
Eagles receive: No. 6 overall pick
Jets receive: Nick Foles, first-, third- and fifth-round picks in 2015
In each of these scenarios, the Eagles give up an awful lot. There are no plausible deals in which the Eagles move up for Mariota and keep the majority of their 2015 and 2016 drafts intact.
But if Kelly covets Mariota and views him as the guy who can carry them over the top and to multiple division titles and possible championships in the coming years, then all of these scenarios will be discussed within the walls of the Eagles' facilities in the coming months.
