As the draft nears, the Marcus Mariota to the Philadelphia Eagles rumor only seems to pick up steam. So what would it take for the Eagles to move all the way up from No. 20 overall to land their prized quarterback? Peter King of Sports Illustrated has his sources, and he is hearing that it would take take a lot of assets to move up to select Mariota with the No. 2 overall pick.

King reports that it would take two first-round picks and 'something significant' to land Mariota with the No. 2 overall selection. 

That something significant could be in the form of any of the key players that the Eagles have reportedly thrown on the trading block. Those players include Fletcher Cox, Mychal Kendricks, Evan Mathis and Brandon Boykin.

The drama will continue to build as we near the start of Thursday night's day one of the 2015 NFL Draft.
