BeastMode54 Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 The Delaware County Times believes the Eagles would like to trade up to No. 11 to select Virginia OL Brandon Albert. The Bills would then select Michigan St. WR Devin Thomas with the No. 19 pick. Philadelphia has 11 draft picks and veteran CB Lito Sheppard to dangle as trade bait, but this particular scenario smacks of idle beat writer musing.

But I wonder what we're going to be asking for besides their first round pick.
BeastMode54 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 If we got an additional second we could get a top notch WR, CB, and TE on the first day. That would be amazing
BeastMode54 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 #11 for #19 & Lito Sheppard........Thanks. Â That would be SICK!!!!
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 It sounds really nice on paper, but I'll take the draft pick. Sheppard is going to want a new deal and I don't think the Bills will pony up the cash for him before they attempt new deals with some of our own.
BeastMode54 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Lito Sheppard stats  Did you post the stats because you are for or against him?
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Did you post the stats because you are for or against him? For, IF we can give him a contract extension at the end of the season IF he plays well.

Sheppard is going to want a new deal and I don't think the Bills will pony up the cash for him before they attempt new deals with some of our own. Â That's the component of the move that people are forgetting about. I'd love to swap picks for Lito, but I have no idea what he'd be asking for.
MattM Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 This is all if Albert lasts until 11--I saw this morning that both Mel and McShay have him going at 5 to the Chiefs, FWIW.....
BeastMode54 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 If we can draft a WR at 19, I prefer Sweed actually, and get Lito, then we would have a proven NFL CB who goes against TO and Plax every year, TWICE! He would be the upgrade at a position of need AND we get the WR we most covet. then go TE in round 2 and this team with be a force next year
BeastMode54 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 This is all if Albert lasts until 11--I saw this morning that both Mel and McShay have him going at 5 to the Chiefs, FWIW..... Â Even if it isn't Albert I could see the Eagles trading up for Clady, Otah, or Williams.
MattM Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 I've also read that the Pats may be after Lito as well to fill the Asante hole. Those rumors have them offering up their very late 2 for him. Not quite sure if that makes sense, however--why pay Lito when you weren't going to pay Asante?

Go OC and/or DE in Rds 3 and 4 and hit on those picks this year (i.e., get a DE that can actually be a good backup for Schobel and Dennelsay to the tune of 3-4 sacks as a rookie backup and an OC that can push Fowler for the starting job) and dare I say it, we'd have a great team for a number of years.....

Â Although we don't really know what Lito would be asking for contract wise, there's no way they would have to pay him anywhere near the contract Samuel got.
RVJ Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 How about our first for theirs and Lito...If we can't sign him then we get their second round pick next year.
ndirish1978 Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Read the article. There is absolutely NO reference to actual talks, it's just one reporters speculation on what the Eagles should do. Also, the article does not mention trading up to us and giving us Sheppard, it talks about giving us a 1 and 2 and trading Sheppard to someone else to get more picks. Basically, no truth to the title
BeastMode54 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Yea, but everything is speculation at this point. No team is going to announce to the media their intentions and what deals they are working on. Even without Lito, I would take the extra 2nd and move to 19
bisonbrigade Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Beware the Eagles, remember last years trade with them, Darwin Walker. He wanted more money also. I don't mind a trade with them, but forget Sheppard, I rather have a 2nd rounder.
