    It's funny, normally it's the opposite. Usually QB is our huge concern, but yes, I agree, it looks like we might finally have a long term answer at QB.

    Yeah, our focus in the draft should be on offense. However, I believe in our offensive line. Don't get me wrong, there's no denying they struggled last season, particularly Matt Kalil. But we had injuries. Loadholt is a very good right tackle and Sullivan is a very good center. So I don't agree with every position being weak on offense besides QB assuming we trade AP. Kalil struggled the most but he'll almost definitely be our starting left tackle this season because you don't take a guy with the 4th overall pick and dump him so soon. This will be a make or break year for Kalil. We could use some upgrades on the line, but as crazy at it might sound, I don't think its a major concern.

    When it comes to the offense, I'm mostly concerned about the WR's. Jennings won't be around for much longer and I'm not too optimistic about Patterson at this point.

    You're right about Sullivan, he's solid so I guess they're set at center. I agree about Kalil unfortunately although I'm dreading the idea of having to watch him for another year if he's as awful as he was last year, gotta give him one more chance but if he sucks the first 4-5 games, I'd go to a back up plan.

    Their o line was maybe the worst in the league last year but unfortunately most of those guys are under contract I believe, so might make it hard to change much. Getting at least 2 WRs is a must, give Teddy some weapons.

    Eagles offering Gore 5 mil a year, 49ers expecting to lose him. Maxwell deal looks like a lock too.

    Think 5 mill is too much for him tbh. Was hoping like 3

    How many years for Gore? guys about to be 32, which is pretty old in RB years.

    It all depends on what Tennessee does. If they pass on Mariota he'll most likely fall to the Jets and then the trade will probably go down. We won't know till draft night. I personally would rather stick with Foles though.

    Foles is maybe a little better than an Andy Dalton at best, but being in Chips offense will mask that. Doubt we'd ever win a Super Bowl with Foles under center

    Kind of an unfair comparison tbh. Dalton is a 4 year vet, Foles has started for what? Like a year and a half? Who knows where Foles will be when he's in his 4th year, that's if the Eagles make the right choice and keep him.

    I like Foles but Foles vs Mariota is just something I can't pick a side on.

    I like the Gore signing. Gore, Sproles, and Polk, plus hopefully Matthew Tucker gets worked in. He's got a lot of speed and power

    Eagles fans you guys are getting a 1st class player. Frank is in my top 5 all time favorite niners. I will miss his leadership but at 32 it's time to move on. Wish him the best for you guys. Just don't watch any if his press conferences, Frankie is kinda r-----ed.

    Don't get me wrong he's a top half NFL QB, but just judging from what I've seen in his 24 games started, I don't see him ever being an elite/great QB. I think his ceiling is being in that 3rd tier QB range (Dalton, Flacco, Ryan). 1st tier being Rodgers, Brady, Manning, Brees and 2nd tier being Romo, Luck (as of now), Wilson, Big Ben. Of course guys in that tier can win, but they need a lot around them, and to execute to near perfection.

    Also, I'm under the impression that Mariota is Chip Kelly's "guy". So I'd like to see him in Philly, but if Foles is still around I'll be more than happy.
