BobbyC81 Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I thought Davis was damaged goods and that we were taking a chance on him? No, D'wan Edwards had a neck injury in '08 but played all of '09.
dgrid Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I thought Davis was damaged goods and that we were taking a chance on him? Damaged goods? in what way? He might wear down over the course of season, but not damaged goods.
Billy in 4C Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Why? We already have a young, pass catching TE in Shawn Nelson. The reason he was drafted. Because we are thin at the position, Nelson is unproven, and it won't cost us much. If Nelson or Shouman went down we are f'd. I'm assuming we will end up picking up a late round TE anyways - why not get one that is a proven solid starter.
ganesh Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Sounds like we could've had Sheffler for a 5th and 7th. Buddy, are you awake? Somebody check his pulse. I believe our TEs are going to be more pass-blocking than pass-catching until at least they clean up the OL mess. I do not see how you could have a Sheffler and Nelson both of whom are pass catchers. Additionally, the Bills would have to give a new contract to Tony , something they do not want to do at this time with so many holes. I can understand the Bills position...
H2o Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 TE Tony Scheffler to the Lions, LB Ernie Sims to the Eagles, Undisclosed pick to Denver per Adam Schefter What does this say about Pettigrew, whom alot of people wanted us to spend the #11 pick on last year?
Lori Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 What does this say about Pettigrew, whom alot of people wanted us to spend the #11 pick on last year? That after undergoing an ACL reconstruction just before Christmas, he might be on the PUP list to start the season?
26CornerBlitz Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 What does this say about Pettigrew, whom alot of people wanted us to spend the #11 pick on last year? Scheffler has a different skill set. Pettigrew and he will compliment each other in the "vaunted" Lion attack.
Bill from NYC Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Ernie Sims is a good player for the Eagles. He certainly is.
Rico Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Ernie Sims is a good player for the Eagles.Lil Donte would be a good player for the Eagles too.
Billy in 4C Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Pretty sure we are about to fall below the Lions this year. When they get Suh/McCoy, a RB in the draft, plus the Scheffler they will have the QB, WR, TE that we don't have, greater than/equal to OL, slightly less RB (if we have Lynch). Sadly, right now, I'd take the Lions roster over the Bills.
Magox Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 What does this say about Pettigrew, whom alot of people wanted us to spend the #11 pick on last year? ummm, that he's injured?

DDD Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 If true, the Lions just added a good pass catching TE. Now if he can stay on the field..... What about 1st round pick last year Brandon Pettigrew? He looked good to me.
tomc702 Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 so how does this shake up the draft boards, if at all?
H2o Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 That after undergoing an ACL reconstruction just before Christmas, he might be on the PUP list to start the season? ummm, that he's injured? Sorry, didn't know he blew his knee out.

Ya i cant believe we dont have 3 quality starters at each position on the team...everyone else does
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 TE Tony Scheffler to the Lions, LB Ernie Sims to the Eagles, Undisclosed pick to Denver per Adam Schefter A frickin' 5th rounder! You telling me we couldn't have pulled in 1 of these 2 players???
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 It's not a good sign when your team is selecting close to the Lions. Let alone...BEFORE the Lions!!!
Wizard Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 TE Tony Scheffler to the Lions, LB Ernie Sims to the Eagles, Undisclosed pick to Denver per Adam Schefter And, we care because?
Billy in 4C Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Ya i cant believe we dont have 3 quality starters at each position on the team...everyone else does You just said quality starters. Shouman is a poor starter/quality backup. Nelson has potential to be a quality starter or better, which may be years away. Right now, they are neither. Scheffler is a day 1 proven quality starter. All it would cost is a 5th round pick and some money to pay the guy.
