Tick tock… tick tock…. the Philadelphia Eagles are on the clock! Ok, so I know this blog is dedicated to the STYFL Eagles and all, but I grew up in the Philadelphia area and Drew and I are HUGE Philadelphia Eagles fans! It was only a stroke of luck that Drew ended up on the Eagles team last year in his first tackle football season. All that said, I’m pumped for the NFL draft tomorrow.
So what do the Eagles do tomorrow. They have the 19th pick in the first round and have some trade bait in two-time all pro corner Lito Shepard. Shep has been one of my favorite Birds over the years, but in the past few seasons he’s been on the training table as much as he’s been on the field. Lito is a great cover corner and a play maker, but the Eagles pretty much drew the line in the sand when they picked up free agent corner Asante Samuel during the free agency period earlier this year. The Birds brass has been somewhat non-descript as to whether or not they will ultimately trade Shepard, but the general consensus is that Lito will be traded tomorrow as the Birds look to move up in the draft or obtain the services of a veteran playmaker at the wide receiver position.
