And that's reportedly what they want to do, if they can trade up to a spot where one of the top two safeties will be available. Peter King of SI.com reports that the Eagles want to move up into first half of the first round, and that they'd like to get either Eric Berry of Tennessee or Earl Thomas of Texas. (Our mock draft has Berry going seventh and Thomas going 21st.) King writes that the Dolphins, who have the 12th pick, could be the Eagles' trading partners. Dolphins boss Bill Parcells would like to have a second-round pick, but Miami currently doesn't have one after the Brandon Marshall trade. For Philadelphia, moving up would likely involve the Eagles giving up their own first-round pick (24th overall) and one or two of their other picks, which include the 35th, 55th and 70th overall. This wouldn't bother me so much. I really want Berry, but trading down, picking up another second rounder and more would be a great idea. Plus, we could trade for Thomas in the high teens/low twenties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully, anything is possible at this point. There has been a lot of smoke coming out of Holmgren about possibly making a trade. Who knows if there is fire.
