It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The New England Patriots could swap first round draft picks with the Eagles for Lito Sheppard.I posted this in another thread, but it concerns some of NE's options at CB, so I'll repost it here:
Lito Sheppard:
I don't know how much it would cost to acquire Lito's rights from the Eagles, but I wouldn't think they could get much more than a second rounder. They've given up, and received less for better players. He's also had some injury problems of late (missed 6 games in '05, 3 games in '06, and 5 games in '07), and he's not expected to be a starting CB for them, if he stays.
Foxworth sucks and I would not even trade a seventh round draft pick for that stiff.Domonique Foxworth:
I'm wondering if sending a 3rd round pick over to Denver for Domonique would be a good idea? They only tendered him at that level (3rd round), so we know that would be the compensation Denver would receive, if another team were to sign him away. Is he worth a third rounder?
He's only 24, and he's played 46 out of a possible 48 games so far. His production went down in 2007, but that's because the Broncos traded for Dre' Bly.
Here are his three year stats:
2005: 16 games, 71 total tackles (65 solo), 16 PD's, 1 FF, 9 Rec (correct?), 2 INT's.
2006: 16 games, 61 total tackles (49 solo), 6 PD, 1 FF, 1 INT,
2007: 14 games, 42 tackles (31 solo), 4 PD's, 1 FF

The New England Patriots could swap first round draft picks with the Eagles for Lito Sheppard.
7th Pick Overall 1500 points
19th Pick Overall 875 points
With regard to the NFL Draft Pick Trade Chart, that would roughly equivalent to the 30th pick overall (620 points). With the 19th pick overall, the New England Patriots could select Antoine Cason, CB from Arizona.
Antoine Cason's stock is rising ever since he ran a 4.49 in the forty. There is no better cornerback in the 2008 NFL Draft with better hands than Antoine Cason.As far as taking Cason with the 19th pick if that trade went through would be even worse. Cason will not be a first round pick. His stock is dropping. This class of cornerbacks are not that good.
I think BB is going to revamp the CB position in the draft. We'll have a lot of rookie depth next year and plenty of talent to develop in the future. The downside is it will cost us games, which will cost us home field in the playoffs, which will likely cost us a chance to get back to the SB.
But chalking up one season to develop some fresh talent might be worth it in the long run. This off-season is starting to have a quasi transition year feel to it.
