Trade Between Eagles and Cardinals, would you do it?

Lets say Braylon or Mike Williams were still on the board at #8 how would this trade sound?

Cardinals send #8 Overall (1400) and LJ Shelton to Philadelphia for #31 (600), #35 (550), #94 (124) and Corey Simon? The Eagles could get rid of Simon's salary (he wants a long term deal anyway) and get one of the top wideouts to play with TO. They also have 12 draft picks, so that wouldn't be a big loss to give up 3 draft choices.

The Cardinals would move down, select a CB like Fabian Washington or Justin Miller. Draft Jason Campbell with the #35 pick, draft someone like Adam Terry or Elton Brown with the 44th pick in the second round. In the third round they could select a good TE, another CB, and trade one of the 3rd rounders (they'd have 3 of them) to Minnesota for Michael Bennett. Plus they get a Simon to put next to Dockett. Their line would be very good with Berry and Okeafor. Seems to work to me. Would you do it?

The Cardinals would make off like bandits if this were to happen. But you never know. Anything is possible.

I do agree that it is a good deal for the Cards, but then again, it's not bad for the Eagles. They finally get a guy who can team with TO which will make McNabb better as well. They also get a good OT to add depth or push for a starting spot.[/quote]

It's only a hypothetical. It could happen though (either Williams or Edwards being left at 8, especially if the Vikes went with Merriman).

if the eagles do that their going to be in the same position as the niners are rite now. after one season T.O. will complain bcuz his numbers dropped and he isnt getting the ball every down. he will do the same thing he did to san fran , demand a trade. you may laugh at that but that is what will happen. if the eagles trade up and get mike williams expect T.O. to be gone the following season.

i could see both teams doing this. the eagles can still get some more 2nd and third rounders by packaging their many later round picks, and the cards don't really have a need for just a top 10 pick. the cards would have 3 picks in 10 places at the end of the first. the eagles are also still plentiful with picks, and get another wideout.

i would say the Cardinals would get the better off that trade and it isnt like we are willing to give up our starter at DT for a backup OT. seems abit stupid.

if we take the players out of that draft and add another 6th rounder from the eagles i could see it happening, wouldnt mind it aswell, if either Mike Williams, Braylon or even DJ was there i think we should, its not like we need all the 13 picks we have anyway.

Also wynalda, can you not post stuff like that i say your an Eagles fan cos it makes the rest of us look dumb lol. San Diego and Dallas probably couldnt even get the no.3 pick with both of their first rounders. Even though its weak, the players at the top are still great prospects. might not be as good as last year but we cant compare them because last year was a great class thats why this one seems so sub-par.

Seems like the Cardinals would get the steal of this deal. But, it is realistic.

If I am the Eagles, I would rather trade Simon or both my number two picks to the Colts for Edge. With Edge in fold, you have two excellent receiving backs, have a workhorse RB and a change of pace back. If they are resigned to Simon leaving next year anyway, Edge carries little risk. Only catch is you have to sign him which wont be cheap. Eagles could easily play both backs at same time with their receiving skills.

For Colts, Simon is their kind of lineman, one who they talked about going after if he wasnt franchised. The two picks in the second would bring you a Morency or Fason to plug in with Rhodes trying to replace Edge and probably a defensive starter as well.
