Straight up? I wouldn't even let them finish the sentence before I locked that trade in!
But I think the possibility of this happening is about the same as Le'Veon Bell playing for Jacksonville in 2018.
Short answer? Yes
The national media answer and most of this board? Queue the Bortles jokes.
This would be a no brainer.
I'd easily make the trade.
Could you imagine the running lanes for Fournette?!
My god. 6 to midnight.
Yes, I would. It would suck to push Cole or Dede back, but I'd be fine with it. I'd try and trade Lee for peanuts if I could probably.
It's unanimous, just the 29th pick is kind of a weak offer. Add to the fact that he's like the 7th highest paid WR, surely he wants a new contract.
Would you make the deal if it were the 29 and Fowler thrown in?

I would. As much as I like Fowler and think he's progressing nicely, having a top 3 WR would have much more of an impact on your team than a rotational pass rushing DE and whoever we would take at 29.

Falcons need a DT more than a DE. Trade Malik Jackson to alleviate the cap issue. If we could keep 29 and trade next year's first (maybe with something this year in a later round), take Hurst at 29, and we'd be in a nice spot.

Malik is more valuable to this team than Fowler. And I'd rather give up this years first than next years if we were to draft Hurst anyway. I think he will be a solid player but there's much more value to be had at 29.

Of course he's more valuable, which is why Falcons would likely trade for him and not Fowler, who is still a bit of a question mark and only has one year left on his deal.
The eagles have been trying to free up some money. I thought maybe it was for dez, but I'm sure julio is gonna be a hot commodity

Yes, that's a fair trade for the Falcons.
I don't see Julio Jones leaving Atlanta.
