26. Philadelphia Eagles

54. . QB. Eagles. Nick Foles. 26. player

Philadelphia isn’t going to trade anyone on their current roster unless they are sent an unworldly offer. Their depth at multiple position is already thin thanks to injuries to Jason Peters, Jay Ajayi, and Rodney McLeod. They’ve had issues at cornerback so trading Ronald Darby is an unlikely option.

The name that will catch the most attention is Nick Foles, though it’s unlikely the Eagles trade the hero of Super Bowl 52. He proved the value of the back up quarterback can sometimes be invaluable.

That being said, if a playoff caliber team were to lose their starting quarterback for the season and not have a capable backup, the Eagles might get a couple of calls for Foles. It’ll take a trade of monstrous proportion to get Foles out of Philadelphia. I’m not sure if Philadelphia would take a second round pick if it were offered. The only way Philadelphia makes a trade is if they are adding a player, but for the purposes of this exercise, Foles is the guy.
