Trade Down With Philly?

Our chances of trading down with Philly just went down in flames.

REPORT: BILLS TRADE PETERS TO EAGLES
Posted by Aaron Wilson on April 17, 2009, 1:32 p.m. EDT
The Buffalo Bills have traded Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jason Peters to the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com.

In exchange for Peters, the Bills receive the Eagles’ 28th overall pick of the first round as well as a second-day draft pick in this year’s draft and a late-round draft pick in 2010.

Peters has been unhappy with his contract and hasn’t been attending the Bills’ offseason activities after staging a holdout last summer at training camp.

Presumably, Peters will be seeking a new deal from his new employers.

The Eagles needed an offensive tackle after starter Tra Thomas left in free agency. Jon Runyan is a free agent and has been battling injuries.

I hope someone still wants a QB or something.

But now the Bills have two #1s (11 and 28) as do the Broncos (12 and 18) and the Lions. I don't see Denver as much of trading partner simply because they already have picks stockpiled for this year and next thanks to the Cutler trade.

Then there's always a team or two that locks into one player and panics in fear he won't fall to them. The Jets, in particular, would be a likely partner for this although it means we wouldn't move far and wouldn't get much compensation to move down.

I doubt the Jets would want to trade up with us as I don't see San Diego trying to grab anything the Jets need. Stranger things have happened, but if they were going to trade up it would be somewhere at the end of the top 10 to the 13th pick IMO.

I really would love another 2nd or 3rd pick by moving down, but as it gets closer I just dont see where its going to happen unless something shakes up between Jax and us.

The Jets might have to outbid the Lions (if they select an OT #1) and/or the Bucs if they want a QB like Freeman.

I was watching the ESPN Draft Special from yesterday and Sal Pal said the Eagles wanted Moreno even if they had to trade UP to get him. I thought that was interesting and they still have a 2nd and 3rd rounder to make it happen, whatever such a trade might require. There's still hope to trade down, if a higher rated player does not drop to 15 that is.
