Please god, let this be true

It's a ridiculously uneducated guess.

Seriously, though, I'd have to assume the average is at least a little higher than the Eagles.  Only trading draft picks for 3 players in a 7-year time frame just seems very low.  I could be mistaken, for sure.

Get Facts!

Get Facts!

I might if I finish up some work.  It would have to be one team at a time, I think.

Link?

Link?

That's the problem.  The Eagles transaction records on their official site go way back, but I don't know of a centralized site where I could find all the player swaps between teams.  If someone could direct me to such a site, I would be very glad to scour it and do the research to come up with some numbers... average per team, standard deviation, all that crap.

Thanks for the help.  Well, KFFL only goes back to 2004 with their transaction logs, but I did find this gem:

Ravens | Johnson Acquired in Trade
Sun, 25 Apr 2004 11:38:35 -0700

ESPN.com reports the Baltimore Ravens have acquired WR Kevin Johnson from the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Ravens sent the Jaguars their fourth-round pick (No. 120 overall) in the 2004 NFL Draft.

Matt (Albuquerque): What are you hearing regarding Javon Walker? Any possibility that he is traded before the draft?

Chris Mortensen: (12:45 PM ET ) Same as you're hearing. There's some interest. But the Packers want equal value (first rounder) and Walker coming off ACL surgery might make somebody nervous. The Broncos might take a look depending on how things develop in the next 10 days.

FWIW

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

even if the Eagles were picking #32, they wouldn't give up a first rounder

Reid is indeed very selfish when it comes to trading picks for players.  In this age of FA, I don't know of very many teams that have traded picks for a lot of players. However, if you dig into the Eagles' history a bit, back to 1973, you'd find a different story.

1973--Traded 1974 1st and 2nd choice and a 1975 1st and 3rd choice plus WR Harold Jackson to the Rams for QB Roman Gabriel and RB Terry Baker

1974--Traded a 1975 2nd rounder to Buffalo for DL Jerry Patton
          Traded a  1975 4th rounder to NO for Richard Absher
          Traded a 1975 5th rounder to NE for RB John Tarver
          Traded a 1975 6th rounder and a 1976 1st rounder to Cincy for QB Mike Boryla
          Traded a 1975 9th rounder and a 1976 4th rounder to SF for DB Randy Jackson
          Traded a 1977 No.1 pick and a 1978 No.1 and No.2 pick for Bill Bergey

1975--Traded a 1976 2nd rounder plus QB John Reaves to Cincy for Stan Walters and Wayne Clark
           Traded a 1976 3rd rounder to Cincy for PK Horst Muhlmann
           Traded a 1977 2nd rounder to Oakland for RB James McAlister
           Traded a 1977 3rd rounder to Dallas for OG John Niland
           Traded a pair of No.4 picks to KC for DB Cliff Frazier
           

In his time, Vermeil traded picks for players--a 4th rounder in 1979 for Claude Humphrey, a 6th rounder in 1977 for Art Thoms from Oakland; and the list goes on.

bobbyinlondon go Rah!

Denver now has two #2s and San Francisco's #3.  Any reason to worry? 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Why would you "worry"?  Did you ever really think Walker was coming here anyway?

[The BIGSTUD]

Denver will draft a receiver in the second round or first round instead of going after Walker.
