I did call it a "dream scenario" for the record. I don't live in a dream world.

One thing to keep in mind on the Feely Trade...it was a 2nd rounder NEXT Year...(In Essence a 3rd Rounder THIS YEAR) You see teams all the time giving up a 1st Round Picks Next Year for a 2nd Round This Year Etc; (Especially our Dolphins)...
Consider it "interest" for getting his talents today and paying for him tomorrow.
ckparrothead said:I know I've been known to use this argument as well but I'm starting to change my mind. The value of that kind of trade tends to vary across the boards. I personally would start to place the value of next year's 2nd rounder at about the value of this year's late 2nd rounder. I don't think the year of service of a 3rd round draft choice makes the pick that much sexier than waiting until the next year and using your 2nd rounder on a flat out more talented player. I know the fins would probably disagree with me, but thats just what I think.
If you think we gave up too much for Feeley, then why against this trade?WeOwndPPStadium said:I personally am not for the trade and I still think the Phins gave up way too much for AJ. He should have gotten the Eagles a 4th rounder at best.
WeOwndPPStadium said:I was wondering if anyone here heard this rumor:
Eagles get Dolphins #1 (20) Dolphins get Eagles #1(28) and the Dolphins #2 next year (returned from AJ Feely trade)
This is on the Eagles Message Board EMB Link
It makes sense, Fins trade down, grab Carey at #28 and get their 2nd rounder back next year.

The Eagles are trying to move up and if its true they are trying to move to #20 then its a RB they covet...either Steven Jackson (who could go to Denver at pick #17) or Kevin Jones/Chris Perry.
I disagree. I dont think Reid likes to take RBs in the 1st rd., not when hes found quality players like Buckhalter and Westbrook in later rds. The Eagles are trading up to get LB or D-line. They couldnt stop the run last year, so I think thats what they are targeting. They traded up last year to get a Miami D-lineman, and I think they will do the exact same thing this year and try to get Wilfork. If not him either of the 2 Miami LBs. Im also afraid they could be trading up to take our guy Shawn Andrews, they have an aging o-line that could use a new big guy to help protect Donovan. Wow, I didnt write 1 thing about the Fins, LOL.

It'd mean we got Feeley for only 8 spots...nothing more.
That's a steal....
That means we would end up with Feeley & Smiley/Carey & our 2nd round pick back!!!!!!! SWEET!
instead of
only Shawn Andrews (at #20) *IF* he's available.
