In one of his many controversial takes about quarterbacks recently, Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian commented that the Philadelphia Eagles should be demanding at least two first-round picks and two second-round picks in any trade involving Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles.

But as Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman reports, Polian’s astronomical estimation of Foles’ market value is way off compared to what other teams around the league believe the Eagles would get for him in a deal.

Teams tell me the most they believe the Eagles would get for Foles is a first-round pick. If the Patriots got a second-round pick from the 49ers for Jimmy Garoppolo, teams think a Super Bowl-winning quarterback is worth at least a first-rounder.

It was always hard to believe someone like Foles would actually be able to command such an incredibly high price in any deal. Although he did well to lead the Eagles all the way to the Super Bowl in place of the injured Carson Wentz, Foles already 29 years old and doesn’t have the greatest track record of being a reliable franchise-changing, superstar-caliber quarterback.

If Garoppolo, who is three years younger and arguably has the higher upside as a quarterback, wasn’t even worth one first-rounder, then it’d be tough to justify Foles being worth two, as well as two second-rounders, based on just three very good games. A team desperate enough to do that deal would be better off using those picks to try and find a quarterback as good or even better than Foles in the draft.

Having said all of that, though, Foles is a good starter-quality quarterback who has at least shown that he can reach another level if he has the right system built around him. But even then, it's hardly a guarantee any team would be willing to pay that price for him, much less the king’s ransom worth of picks that Polian suggests.
