Is Philly Now A "Trade Down" Target?

They have some extra picks. They're #24 in the first round. They have some needs and may just find somebody worth going after at #20 and don't want to risk him falling further.

If, say, Ryan Mathews or Eric Thomas are on the board then and the Eagles dangled a 1st and a 3rd or 4th, would you take the bait?

6 or 7 of the teams of the 9 picking right behind us at 20 are 3-4 teams (Phillys a 4-3 D like us), and I'd expect our best chance for a trade to come from one of them if they try to leap-frog another 3-4 team for a trade to grab somebody who fits the 3-4, like NT Dan Williams or a tweener DE who projects as a 3-4 OLB.

Eric Berry/Earl Thomas = Eric Thomas?

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Eagles trade up. Perhaps they like Kyle Wilson or Sean Weatherspoon too. Jermain Gresham, Everson Griffen, or Sergio Kindle, Devin McCourty, Trent Williams, Charles Brown, Mike Iupati, and Markquice Pouncey are also possible.
