This from a Philly beat writer
"If they use their first-round draft choice to take a safety, or if they package their second-rounder with Sheppard and move up to a better second-rounder and take a safety..."
So it looks like Sheppard could be had not by trading back in the 1st as some thought on this board but for trading back in the 2nd, assuming there is a safety they like at our pick... We might have to throw in a conditional day 2 pick in '09 in MHO, but I like that idea.
I know we need a FS but we need CB's more so. I'd take a flier on Lito at that price any day. It makes some sense that by signing Samuel they have lessened his trade value (being that he is now surplus to requirements in Philly). I hope someone falls in the 2nd so we can squeeze out this deal. MM, Lito & Gay? Our CB situation would go from bad to good in one off-season (health permitting as always, knock on wood).
