Watch what the Eagles do tonight. I'd put money that they come out of tonight with future picks.
We have to put the all about now attitude in the past if we ever want to see another Lombardi.

I have in the past been a strong supporter of this idea and still am in many ways, I fully expected the Eagles to trade down one of their first rounders to continue there successful run of taking high picks. But it is dependent on being able to find a willing partner which our FO never seems capable of. You have to be in the position the take a reduction in draft resources in the first year but the payoff in future years is potentially huge. This year they need to win and would benefit from using the 2nd rounder, so I don't think they will do it, but given that there is limited space on our roster right now it would pay dividends to shift some of our later picks into future years
