Eagles trades
I question these recent moves. Sheldon Brown and Chris Gocong for Hall and a fourth and fifth round picks. Certainly, Brown himself is worth a third rounder. Maybe they gave the Browns a break with the relationship with Tom Heckert. But still, you want to drive the market to its highest possible point. And the big move today. Donovan McNabb for a second rounder and either a third or fourth next year. First, Washington is a divisional rival- so he'll get his vengeance twice a year- and for only one pick this season. I understand getting a second rounder, but only one pick this year. They couldn't haggle the Redskins for at least another late rounder, like a sixth for this year's draft, to add to their collection of picks. From the sideline prospective, the Birds have been on the short end of the shaft on these trades. These trades feel rushed, and don't have the typical Eagles dominant slant to them. It seems that Howie Rosemann is in over his head. The one saving grace is they are getting younger, which extends their competitive opportunity for the Kevin Kolb era.
