HapHaszard Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 http://www.footballnewsnow.com/2011/nfl-teams-reluctant-to-part-with-first-round-pick-for-kolb/ The “general feeling” at the NFL Combine is that the team’s near the top of the draft–consequently the team’s most in need of a quarterback–won’t be willing to part with their first round-pick for Philadelphia Eagles backup Kevin Kolb. “I’m sure if you asked the Eagles I’m sure (Kolb’s value) is really high,” NFL Network analyst and former NFL GM Michael Lombardi said. “I think there’s so many teams devoid of quarterbacks it creates the market. It only takes two teams and then all of a sudden the player’s value isn’t the same.” “Donovan McNabb goes for a second(-round pick) and a fifth. Is Kevin Kolb worth more than that? That would be hard for me to think that based on his tape last year.” Eagles GM Howie Roseman insists that the team is still pursuing a trade for Kolb. click on the link to continue reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darklight1216 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Well what do you expect? There isn't much to talk about during the offseason... unless, of course, you want to keep hearing about how not close a new CBA is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflow78 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 SHOCKER no one wants to give up two 1st rounders, or 1 or whatever they're asking, for a guy that's unproven though he showed some flash and was awful at times? I never would have thought....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahons21 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Lol they asked for two, and they can't even get one. Looks like the lord of no rings, might have passed along his winning strategy to the eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointyfootball Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm not saying Kolb is going to be even a good starting QB, but given the quality of QBs in the draft, I would not be surprised to see a team give up a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truant Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 The hype on Kolb is hilarious. They'll try the same thing with that Northwestern QB Kafka in two years. Show just a little bit of him, talk him up to the press that he's the next big thing, just that he's waiting in the wings. Try to generate interest and demand an unreasonable return. I don't know why anyone (including us) would ever trade with Philly. Have they ever been on the wrong side of a deal? They are so incredibly frugal.

VaSkinsNut Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Kolb has looked awful more often than he's looked good. If a team gives up more than a 4th or 5th their GM should be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 If the price for benched QBs is 1 or 2 firsts we should be in awesome shape!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Joe Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm not saying Kolb is going to be even a good starting QB, but given the quality of QBs in the draft, I would not be surprised to see a team give up a first.You wouldn't? A rookie cap is probably going to be installed this offseason. And Kolb's contract ends after 2011. Why would any team pass on a rookie QB for the right to pay Kolb a boatload of money one year from now? Even if all the QB's this year suck, it makes far more sense to use the draft pick on another position than to throw it away on an unproven and likely soon-to-be very expensive Kevin Kolb.
