Draft Day Trade Offer!!!

[SkinsCM]

Here's a rather unusual scenario that seems plausible (to me at least): The Eagles are in desperate need of someone to play opposite Asante Samuel and we desperately need to trade down to fill as many holes as possible (I really don't think there is any upside to taking a QB at #10 given our other problems and we can't trade up w/o additional picks). 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...
