Lito Sheppard - He Once Was An Eagle

IGY - You mean instead of singing Samuel?  Or, along with... ?

[Magical_Retard]

i think he means instead of.

maybe they could have made a serious run at randy moss.

[Rome]

Except that Randy Moss wasn't going anywhere.

You mean instead of singing Samuel?

Is that a new song by the Church of Latter Day Saints?

The Philadelphia Eagles are heading into the week of the NFL draft, this coming Saturday and Sunday, which almost certainly will see them trade standout cornerback Lito Sheppard according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

When the idea of trading Sheppard was broached, much of its appeal had to do with the possibility the team would get a top wideout for him, possibly in a deal that would package him with a high Eagles draft pick. But the Larry Fitzgerald contract drama in Arizona ended. The Lions seem to have no immediate designs on dealing Roy Williams. The Bengals still insist they will not trade Chad Johnson.

Now it seems very unlikely the Birds will acquire a difference-making wideout in a Sheppard trade, unless, of course, they trade Sheppard for a pick or picks they use at that position. Their history there isn't terribly promising. Wideouts drafted in the Reid Era include Na Brown (fourth round, 1999), Troy Smith (sixth round, same year), Todd Pinkston (second round, 2000), Gari Scott (fourth round that year), Freddie Mitchell (first round, 2001), Freddie Milons (fifth round, 2002), Billy McMullen (third round, 2003), Reggie Brown (second round, 2005), Jason Avant (fourth round, 2006) and Jeremy Bloom (fifth round that year).

More "proof" that Lito should go towards just getting picks.  Get Williams.

If the Eagles aren't the busiest team in the league this weekend trade wise and somehow end up drafting 10 or more players I'm going to kick a hole in my dog.

I'm going to kick a hole in my dog this weekend.

[QB Eagles]

Yeah all the rumors flying around will really make the OL we never heard of at #19 seem extra lame.

[Phanatic]

Maybe we should drive to wherever the draft is and boo whatever pick they make...

Perhaps the best post ever, in the history of everness. 

Seriously though if the Eagles aren't a significantly better team on paper after this weekend something is wrong.

not really anything new, but Mr Mackey says the Rams are 1 of 3 teams seriously interested in Lito and they could be offering the #33 pick

[PhillyPhreak54]

Sold.

Unless ARZ wants him for Boldin.

[Father Demon]

Not sold.  I'd much rather they keep him for a kick-ass secondary if they can't get a stud WR for him and a pick.

Trading him for a 2nd (even a very high 2nd) doesn't give me a boner.

Please make this happen.
