Philly trying to trade Baskett

I'm surprised that Philly would release him before Reggie Brown because I think that Baskett is going to be quite a player.

It's not unusual for a late round receiver to take time to bloom.

Anybody that's nailing Kendra is already quite the player.

Seriously, though.

How good would our receiving corp be with Bowe, Wade, Baskett, Bradley and Lawrence?

I think it could be very good and the front office might not even have to spend a draft choice on the position next year.

Well, in this scenario we would be spending a draft choice next year on him.

Just out of curiosity, what makes you think he is/can be a very good receiver? It's not as if Philly's receivers have been great in years past. That's why they spent first and second round picks on them in the last two drafts.

Jackson and Maclin are very different type players than Baskett. Baskett is a big dude and not a burner. What I found odd was that the Eagles took the other two in in back to back drafts. I assume they were working off the BPA theory.

He's big, strong and physical. At 6'4, 220 pounds he'd cause all kinds of matchup problems. When they've thrown the ball his way, he's responded.

I also tend to believe that a coach like Todd Haley would really challenge the guy and make him improve. He and Bowe in the Red Zone could be a great combo.

That being said, I wouldn't give up much. Next year's 7th and at most, next year's 6th. You're right - there's a good chance he'll be cut but I'm not sure he makes it past either team.

But in my mind, there's no doubt his addition would improve this receiving corp.

He's certainly better than Bradley.

I agree with what Baskett would add. He is better than Ruvel Martin who i have mentioned a few times as maybe a poor man's baskett.

Next years 7 goes to miami when we traded back into the 7th this year and took O'Connell. And although it is just listed as undisclosed 2010 pick for Alleman and Ndukwe i think someone said it's next years 6, though i am not sure on that to be exact.
