Maybe the Eagles are actually our best trade down fit?

If Amukamara is still around at #10 (I'm assuming Peterson is long gone) this would be an appealing scenario for the Eagles. Many pundits talk about them trading with the Vikings and picking at #12 but what are the chances that one of the two CBs they'd be interested in are around after Houston at #11 which has a similar need?

Shanahan was willing to deal with them last season and the Eagles made out very well in the end so why not again? I think the Eagles would see Amukamara as a good value at #10 and we'd get the additional 2nd rd (#55) pick we need + something more. Adversity might make for strange bedfellows...

Interesting speculation, although I'd hate to give the Eagles the opportunity to add a playmaker in the defense to kill our average'ish wide receiver group.
