Yeah i keep hearing they want to move up - would be great for us and both teams have worked together this offseason before. however, i've read they are interested in the other safety, earl thomas. they wouldnt have to move up nearly as high for him.

Just to speculate, if the teams tried to adhere somewhat to the draft value chart, our #4 is worth 1800 points. The Eagles currently hold #24 (740pts), #37 (530pts), #55 (350pts), #70 (240pts), and #87 (155pts) in rounds 1-3.

For the If the Eagles gave up their #24, $37, #55, and #70, it would equal 1860 points. I suppose we could give them our 4th round pick, but it would still be a deal that seemed to heavily slide in our favor. Phily loves having alot of picks in the top 100. I just don't see the Eagles giving up enough to make the deal go through, unless we are really desperate to get the deal done and agree to just take their 1st three picks or something. i know the draft is deep and we have multiple needs, but im not sure we'd get a 2010 starter out of our draft class in that scenario.
