Really, Chip?
Let’s assume that Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles were actually offered a first-round pick for recently acquired quarterback Sam Bradford.
Eagles HC Chip Kelly said his team was offered a first-round pick this morning for his QB Sam Bradford.

What team in its right mind would give Philadelphia a pick in the top 32 for a quarterback that’s not anywhere near the top of his profession and is coming off two torn ACL’s.
The answer to that question might very well be the Cleveland Browns, who were rumored to be interested in Bradford and possess two first-round picks.
However, Kelly’s disclosure that the Eagles were offered a first-round pick for Bradford is ridiculous. Why wouldn’t the St. Louis Rams have done that in the first place? The assumption there is that the Rams liked Nick Foles enough to give up that valuable pick.
I am not buying it.
