Philadelphia could use help at OT, but the way many mock drafts are looking, it seems that the last of the elite OTs could go to the teams at #12 to #14. Furthermore, Philadelphia has been shopping CB Lito Sheppard, after signing Asante Samuel. In the trade, Buffalo gives up #11 and #147 (RD5) and receives #19 plus Lito. This would mean that Philadelphia would be getting compensation for Lito more or less in line with what was given to Atlanta for DeAngelo Hall (the difference in first round picks is a value equal to a second) plus a fifth. What do you think?" I thought I'd put it up for discussion. I would do this trade, which essentially could look like this: RD1-Lito Sheppard CB RD1-Devin Thomas WR/KR RD2-Mike Pollak-OC/OG RD3-Red Bryant -DT RD4-John Carlson-TE RD4-Brian Johnston- DE RD6-Thomas Brown- RB Georgia-204 4.5 quickst, 38"vertical, ACL '06 RD7-Dennis Dixon QB - Oregon inj ACL RD7-Mark Bradford, WR Stanford,6'1",211,4.6, 41vert RD7 Mike Gibson - OT Cal - sprung Lynch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I like that idea but Lito is demanding a new contract and significant raise even though he has three years left on his old one. Not sure the Bills want that headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flbillsfan#1 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I like that idea but Lito is demanding a new contract and significant raise even though he has three years left on his old one. Not sure the Bills want that headache. This is the MAJOR stumbling block the Eagles will have trying to unload Lito. The Eagles want the same compensation Atl got for Hall & Lito wants to be paid like Hall. Problem is Lito is not as good as Hall, if he was, the Eagles would have had no need to pay all that money to Samuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the Bills want that headache. Sounds like another Chad Johnson/Darwin Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick in RaChaCha Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I would not be surprised if Philly takes a WR in the First round - I believe they are happy with their draft position and will not move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 By signing William James we will not be going after Sheppard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
