Having a Barton on the team will give me PTSD.

This trade actually makes a lot of sense to me. A team like the Eagles who have SB aspirations could move up to take a more blue chip prospect like Verse.

Peter Schrager of the NFL Network (who I still don't forgive for making a total ass of himself and saying the Hawks 2011 draft class was an F, going as far to make fun of the franchise) said that after he posted his mock draft, he had several people message him saying he's nuts to not have Penix at least in the back end of round 1 if not earlier... the Raiders and Seahawks being teams interested.

He also has Jay Polk from the Huskies going 32 to the Chiefs... if both Penix and Polk went round 1, that would likely mean 4x Huskies in the 1st with Trice and Rosengarten having a chance to go in the 2nd round.

Polk has to be the most overrated player in the draft, at least from the boards i've seen. Watched every Husky game of both the Husky WR trio and it was clear as day to me that he was WR3, with the gap between him and McMillan as big as the gap from McMillan to Rome. JaLynn is a reliable option who does everything well, but nothing exceptional. He's not a field-stretcher who will ever put a scare in opposing defenses that you would have to scheme for. Absurd to think he'd be taken that high in this deep and talented of a receiver class. McMillan on the other hand has been underrated for quite a while but seems to be rising now that his health has returned and teams look deeper at his previous body of work - would not shock me if he actually gets drafted first of the two (but neither should go earlier than the 3rd).

NFL Draft Notebook: Ja’Lynn Polk among risers, latest buzz on trading into top 10, defensive player comps

The No. 2 wide receiver from Washington’s prolific passing attack (behind likely top 10 pick Rome Odunze) is the type of player coaches love. Polk’s high energy in everything he does (including blocking), fearless in working dangerous areas of the field and a nonstop worker. This wide receiver class is loaded, but Polk is expected to go in the top 35-40 picks.
