For those who expected Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly to pull off a king’s ransom and trade for Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, it didn’t happen. It’s not as if he didn’t try, as the Eagles were reportedly offering quite the haul for Mariota.
What package are #Eagles talking about to go to No. 1 or No. 2? Two 1st rounders, a 3rd rounder, Fletcher Cox, Boykin, Kendricks, more. Wow.

At this point, it’s likely that the Eagles will roll in 2015 with Sam Bradford at the helm, and Kelly’s first move was to get his new quarterback the best available wide receiver.
