A 2nd & 5th Round Pick for Lito?!

[SkinsFanSince91]

Eagles weigh options for Sheppard - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

At the end of a recent yahoo article it says that Pro Bowl CB DeAngelo Hall was traded for 2nd & 5th round picks. Is this an good or bad option for the Redskiins?

Would you pay that price for a young Pro Bowl caliber CB? If so how does that free us up in the draft? Can we move Carlos Rogers to safety? Lol. Who knows?

All Im saying is that at the end of the day, it is a possibility.

Discuss.

I'd pay a 2nd and a 5th if I was very confident Lito was healthy and would hold up well over the course of a full season. But I don't see how you can be confident about that.

Hall went for that price because he's a maniac malcontent. Lito's not quite as good as Hall, and he's pretty darn injury prone.

Is he not as good or does he not talk as much as Hall? Hall is a self promotor and not that good. I don't remember him ever shutting anyone down.

Pro Bowl in 2005 and 2006. Won the NFL's fastest man competition in 2005. 8th overall pick in the '04 draft.

He's very good. But he's a wacko.

askin price is too high for me sorry

also figure in the huge contract that Hall got. While it doesn't have anything directly to do w/the trade terms, it affected the Falcons ability to deal him. Teams knew his agent was asking for big $.

That, combined w/his attitude might've lowered the price as Hall might be worth a 1st round pick in terms of his ability. Lito, like Schneed said, is worth a 2nd & 5th if healthy, but there's not a good history there. Who knows, the same was said of Springs when the skins signed him. He's still had his injury problems but has been our best cb for 4 years.

I'd rather not enter into the lito sweepstakes, there is a good crop of cb's in this draft & I think we'll nab one in the first 3 rounds.

I agree. I think that there are good corners in the 3rd round e.g. Tracy Porter, Patrick Lee, Charles Godfrey

5th rounder and a new contract, thats it....

[celts32]

he's to injury proned for a #2 I think...I would rather draft a CB with that pick who might play 16 games for us.

Funny, Matty and I were just discussing this this morning. Depending on how the first couple rounds shake out, the 3rd pick in either 2008 or 2009 might be traded straight up for Lito.

I'd rather they took advantage of a rather deep draft at DB (Bowman in the 5th!)

The Eagles are all about homegrown talent. Why would they go to free agency to acquire a Pro Bowl CB when they already own the rights to a Pro Bowl CB? In this case it is caveat emptor...if the Eagles are telling you they want to discard him more than likely it's for good reason.

I believe what they are saying. I have no desire to acquire this guy for anything over a 4th round pick.

The Eagles have actually always been about growing talent and then letting them go for bigger contracts. Just ask Hugh Douglas, Jeremiah Trotter, Duece Staley, Michael Lewis, Jonathon Welbourn, Derrek Burgess, Bobby Taylor, Corey Simon, and probably many others I can't think of right off the top of my head.

I don't think the fact that they want to part with him in and of itself means he can't play anymore, although obviously they have doubts about him returning to his probowl form, as do I.

They're not going to get a D. Hall type of deal. I'm thinking a 3rd and maybe another later round pick at best.

[EternalEnigma21]

i'd take him for a third.

So would I. Considering we have an extra 3rd rounder to play with why not?
