    I really wanted the Saints to go after a guy like Shepard since our pass D is basically shit. The Jets are really going hard this FA. Still need a QB though.

    The Jets could use a better strong safety, but their secondary is pretty set at this point. I've liked the moves they've made so far on D. It'll be interesting to see how they approach the QB position though.

    I never figured out why the Eagles liked Brown over Lito. He was a huge part of our secondary 2 years ago..Hopefully the extra picks means the Eagles won't take all O and D line players this draft..

    Um, because Brown is a much better player than Lito?

    Lito is overrated. Good riddance we actually got something for him, I thought they were just going to release him for nothing.

    He was beat by Joselio Hanson and was the fourth corner on our depth chart.

    Best of luck in NY I guess...

    The Eagles took too long to deal him, even though he was clearly not a part of their future. I think they could've gotten more than a 5th if they had been more aggressive early on.

    Well they could've traded him last year and gotten more. But the thought was that he was going to come in and become nickel. Samuels - Brown - Lito seems like a great trio. That never worked out because Lito played like shit the entire season and lost his job to Joselio Hanson.

    The dude was never into that plan from the beginning. Denying that reality only lowered his value and forced the Eagles to settle for less.

    They wanted a 1st or a 2nd for him last year, I believe, didn't get one so they decided to keep him.

    He sucked the entire season, and we barely get anything back for him. Not a surprise that a front office move back fired. :lol:
