to be honest, i’d love to have allen provided we knew he’d sign for a long-term deal, but the biggest factor in this trade for you guys would be the picks. lito is a good playmaker, but prone to get burned from time to time and his health is a huge question, especially since he’s so young. the trade almost looks even to me depending on if you get a couple of real players with the picks. get peterson to make the call on this for our sake.

I do not know what the Eagles will or will not give up, but I do know it does not matter what the player was chosen in the past. If that was how the trade was based we would be giving the Eagle Jared Allen (fourth rounder), and probably a first rounder. In fact, Jared Allen has performed as though he was a first rounder and Lito Sheppard has performed very rarely do to injuries. So if the Eagles really want Sheppard then they will have to give up a first rounder and also a 3rd or 4th rounder.

from an eagles fan— the eagles will not give up their first round pick and Lito…… maybe Lito and a 2nd round pick but definately not both…. Lito was a first round pick I believe 5 years ago.

I had plenty damn near and almost in the nineties. The Packers run a different defense, and maybe we should too, but the point is, we’re not going to. It just wouldn’t make sense to pay awesome man corners to play in a defense that is built for average corner play. Actually, the more I think about it, the more it sounds exactly like something th Chiefs would do:)

Or you can be like the Packers, and ride two great corners damn near all the way to the Super Bowl. It goes both ways, RedEye.

Why are so many people hoping for/expecting the Chiefs to sign top performing CBs? I guess it would be great to find one that would play cheap, but have you seen the contracts these guys are getting? How much money to we want tied up in cover two corners? Look at the Patriots. Draft a corner, coach ‘em up, make them look good, and let the your division rivals (Law-Jets) overpay them. That eats up their cap space and you keep beating them.

Bottom line BROS! We are NOT trading our pick through FA, unless its like a mind blowing, monster deal.

I disagree that we’re losing our #1 pick for trading away Jared. He was a late round pick, and there’s nothing to say we couldn’t replace him with another late round pick. All draft picks are not equal, but they could turn out to be years later.
