Rumor from Denver

Yes it would actually. Philly has been okay defensively, but nothing like they were in the early 2000's when teams feared them. Back then they were loaded with talent, which included among others, two high level DT's in Corey Simon and Darwin Walker. Today they only have one in Peterson. I have to imagine they'd relish the chance to add a Marcell Dareus or even a Nick Fairley.

They would also possibly be interested in adding Von Miller as one of the most common complaints I hear from Eagle fans comes from the teams weak linebacking corps. Still I don't think that OLB is the type of position that entices a team to trade up from 23 to 2 unless they're a 3-4 team with no one to rush the passer.

Still in considering their ammo they wouldn't have enough to move up, even if they wanted to. Plus Philly likes quantity and value when it comes to the draft.

What if Denver drafts Gabbert at 2, then trades Orton to us for a 2012 2nd round pick, we take Quinn at 10 or trade down then also pick a rookie QB in the late 1st or early 2nd? Thatd be a great scenario imo

Obviously you mean they trade Orton later, after a new CBA.

That would be expensive for a one or two year qb, while we wait for the heir apparent.

Orton for a 2nd rounder? Are you shitting me...lol


I would personally drive to DC and light the Redskins office on fire if they did that.



(not really, because somebody probably would do it...lol)
