Yup. Cerrato trades high draft pick(s) for a big name vet past his prime, and he's the biggest moron in the NFL!!

Allen/Shanny trade a high draft pick for a big name vet past his prime and people rejoice??

I'll never understand our fan base.

Sure, this is for a QB (something we've needed forever), but the fact remains we have many other pressing needs, and now only 4 draft picks to address them. The Patriots have three times that many by the way. The best teams in this league build through the draft.

I've been "wait and see" on Allen/Shanny since day one. That fact remains. Big time.

Actually, Cerrato traded a second round pick for Jason Taylor, and a majority of people rejoiced. If this end of the interwebs was any indication, it was the exact same voices as well.

There was more ambiguity in the Jason Taylor trade, like maybe we were going to use him creatively in a way that the Dolphins hadn't (sorry to remind you). Here, we have to wonder what the heck Shanahan knows about extending McNabb's career that Andy Reid didn't. Because if this is a battle of understanding quarterbacks, I'm jumping ship on Shanahan. He's going to get crushed if it's just his assessment of a player against Reid's.

There's got to be more here, I would think.

Just got the news, your statement is what I keep thinking about.

There has been no contract discussion, so it's not outside the realm of possibility McNabb is traded on draft day. What do we know:

1) We're not "boxed in" on a starting LT or QB at #4.
2) The FO does not have enough faith in Campbell to go into the season with him as the starting option at QB.
3) We will likely be making more trades either right before or during the draft for picks in the 2-3 round range.

Let's say we stand pat, McNabb is a major upgrade over Campbell (if healthy) for the next two seasons. We will come away with one of the top 2 LTs or more picks in the first round, or both. What did we lose, our second rounder....who many here were saying to use on Colt McCoy. McNabb is light years ahead of what McCoy will ever be.

Good post. And I totally agree with everything you said. I could see him traded on draft day, just not sure to whom.

One way or another, we've got to acquire more draft picks.

Think about this we could possibly get a 3rd round pick for JC & trade out of the 4th pick swap 1st pick up a 2nd. If this happens we would have McNabb 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 7th draft picks. FO would be genius!!!!! Think about it it's possible.

Sure it's possible. Doesn't mean anything close to this will happen.

I gotta say, I do firmly believe we'll either find a trade partner for our 4th pick and acquire multiple lower picks and/or move at least one or two players for picks.

I don't care who our QB is, if the line doesn't drastically improve, nothing else will matter.

McNabb scrabbling ability can make a bad line look decent.

I agree the line need to be the 1st thing we should be fixed with or without McNabb all I am saying is we very well could be contenders this year. Depending on the moves we make from here on out.

That having 4 in the first 3 rounds plus DOnovan would be so incredibly awesoe, I dunno what to say, other than it IS possible, and with the way this offseason is going, who knows what else will happen. aybe Cooley 'los and a 4th for Brandon Marshall????

Wow!!

The following tweets:

Reggie Bush: Why would the Eagles trade McNabb to a team that plays in the same conference. (he meant divsion)

Steve Smith/Giants: Wow!!

Andy Roddick: The Eagles will regret it. The grass is always greener on the other side.

Andy Roddick? Is he an Eagle fan or something. By the way he's right about the grass. Washington is naturally warmer on average so the grass stays greener longer.

OK JC is staying and we give them our 2nd rounder this year and the 4th rounder in 2011. Not bad at all!!!! Damn we are frigging stacked!!!!!

Reid said it's a 4th next year that can become a 3rd...

So for that to happen would mean that McNabb hit those numbers and we did pretty good getting him.
