Lito Sheppard Update

[Vbsiena]

ESPN's John Clayton reports that three teams are showing serious interest in Eagles CB Lito Sheppard

"Clayton knows that the Rams are one of the teams, despite the appeal of a drug test Fakhir Brown won on Monday. Sheppard will likely cost at least a second-round pick. The Rams' second-rounder is 33rd overall"

rams second would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Rams trading for Lito makes a lot of sense. Rams have to win now.

If I was the Cards front office I would give up a 2nd for Sheppard.

I agree, but #33 overall seems like a bit too much for Sheppard...

Maybe the Rams' 3rd and 5th picks?

if the rams play dallas he will be the "player of the game" bank on it.

anyway good coners are hard to come by, when healthy lito is top 10 type coner.

Lito is worth a mid first rounder, morons. He has made it to the pro bowl and is a PROVEN corner. Sure, he has missed games due to injury, but hes worth more that a friggin second rounder.

Think about it...PROVEN! pro bowler or a second round dipsh*t corner?

[bwest36]

^^ rams second round pick is basically a first round..

[Flounder87]

No, its a second round pick.

I'd rather keep a pro bowler than have a second round pick, its an insult.

true i shouldnt have stated it like that.

WIth NE losing a pick, the eagles would draft first in the second round. There is great value in this pick, now i agree with you he is a pro bowler but the eagles have many holes to fill and Lito is injury prone/wants out philly(thanks to the signing of samuel)

[kbigsexy9]

sounds like a good trade to me. The rams then can easily be a playoff team playing in the nfc west

[PuppyPuncher]

Lito has rarely been healthy lately so the "Pro Bowler when healthy" argument doesn't hold as much weight.

[Craig Smith]

No, its a second round pick.

Problem here is, I will take DeAngelo Hall over Lito Sheppard any day of the week. And Hall got dealt for only a second round pick. So Philly has no gournd to stand on in demanding a first.

And Hall is a proven, Elite, Pro Bowl calibe corner, that always healthy

[Vbsiena]

Good point Craig. I feel that the Eagles will either package Lito to move up in the 1st round or draft for some 2nd round maybe a 3rd round pick too.

[49ersfan]

If they move up to 11, that would be a good trade.
