Do you mean the Eagles?  They currently have #3, #8 and #9.  As I said, trades are case by case.  If they offered us all three of those picks for the #1, I would take it.  I just don't see that offer coming.

There's no way the Eagles give up all three top ten picks for the #1 overall pick this year if we wound up with it.

First, there's no Trevor Lawrence' caliber QB prospects at the top of  this draft.

Second,  teams have been loathe to surrender multiple first round picks in any draft, and I have never seen a team with three top ten picks in any draft.

Third, under this scenario, the Eagles are picking 3rd.  They wouldn't give up 3 top ten picks in one draft to move up two spots, especially for a QB that doesn't appear to be a generational QB.  Detroit would make more sense trading both of their picks in the first (one in the top 5 and the other at the bottom of the round) to move up one.  The Giants and Jets have two firsts, but neither would seem to have the ammo or need to move up to one.  The Giants picks seem to be closer to the middle of the first.  The Jets just took Wilson 2nd overall, and Thibideaux is not a Bruce Smith,/Julius Peppers/Myles Garrett/Chase Young type to command that move up, though historically, the Jets like moving up.
Unless their owner pushes for a move up, I think the Jets` brass learned their lesson about not giving their QB ample support.  I think they stand pat and use both 1sts.

My inclination is to trade down. But to be honest, don't trust Baalke and UM can effectively capitalize on whatever extra picks we could gain in such a move.
