I thnk Joe Banner is just blowing smoke about still being in the pursuit of Anquan Boldin, even to the point of trading their other first round pck to get him. I hope he and the Birds prove me wrong.
"We're always looking for players that we think can make us better," Banner told Bob Brookover and Les Bowen of Philly.com. "I think we've proven many times that we'd be willing to do what it takes, whether it be a trade or do something with somebody's contract in order to get them here."
Banner said the team could live with trading away their other first round pick to get a difference-maker.
"There are teams that start the year with only one first-round draft pick and they've traded them," Banner said. "If we made another trade with a first-round draft pick, we'd just be in the same position as them. I think we'll do whatever we evaluate to be the best move with any of the available players. . . . Some of the evaluation is about the quality of what we have at certain positions."
Making a move after Boldin or Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson would force to their Eagles to address their running back and tight end needs later in the draft and not in the first round. That would saying good bye to Knowshon Moreno and/or Brandon Pettigrew.
