"Let's start with the obvious: this mock draft would never happen in real life. Not because the trade is reckless, or the value is questionable, and definitely not because Philadelphia suddenly grew a conscience. It wouldn't happen because the Eagles would rather eat a bad contract than accidentally help the Cowboys do something that resembles competency. And honestly? I respect the hate."
"In this mock scenario, Dallas trades Pick No. 15 to Philly and receives: On paper, it looks like a logical trade. Dallas slides back, stays in the first round, and adds two extra Day 2 picks. It's the exact type of move draft Twitter begs for every April. Which is precisely why the Eagles would never allow this trade to happen, and we all know this."
A hypothetical trade would send Pick No. 15 from Philadelphia to Dallas, allowing Dallas to slide while gaining two additional Day 2 selections and roster flexibility. Philadelphia would refuse the trade to avoid improving a direct rival, preferring to retain a poor contract rather than provide Dallas with depth and options. The mock assigns T.J. Parker to No. 21 and Francis Mauigoa to No. 28, reflecting value slips and positional priorities. Fan reactions and franchise behavior are portrayed as predictable, with Philadelphia framed as protective of competitive balance within the division.
