Eagles traded a 1st and 4th round pick to Buffalo for Jason Peters. Adjust your mock drafts accordingly.
(Rack the move, btw.. now if only they could find a QB to play behind their decent offensive line.. :wink: )

Funny thing is that the Bills fans around here are jumping for joy at Peters departure. He better work out for you guys as the Eagles are going to have to throw a ton of guaranteed money his way to make him happy.

With the exception of last year when he allowed 11 sacks (yet still made the pro-bowl) Peters seems like can dominate at the tackle position. It pretty much confirms that Bills fans don't know squat if their content to watch a pro-bowl tackle leave over a contract squabble. As for the Eagles, they're the king of salary cap management, sometimes to their own detriment, so they'll probably give him a lot of money up front with the rest being roster bonuses after the 3rd year.
The Eagles addressed a position that really needed attention with the 2nd of their 2 first round picks. I think they'll go RB at the 21st position since Westbrook doesn't have more than 1-2 good years left.
