3 team trade btwn DET/PHI/DEN

FROM ROTOWORLD.com


Lions acquired TE Tony Scheffler and a 2010 seventh-round pick from the Broncos in a three-team trade that also sent LB Ernie Sims to the Eagles in exchange for a 2010 fifth-round pick.

The Broncos get the Eagles' fifth-rounder. Scheffler, strictly a pass-catching tight end, will play behind Brandon Pettigrew once Detroit's starter returns from ACL surgery. Scheffler adds a vertical threat to Matthew Stafford's arsenal, taking more pressure off Calvin Johnson. Pettigrew and Scheffler figure to cancel each other out in terms of 2010 fantasy value. Though Sims has been injury prone, he gives Philadelphia a physical presence on the weak side. Both Scheffler and Sims are in contract years and Denver didn't acquire a premium pick. This is a low-risk deal all around, with potentially high rewards for Philly and Detroit. PHILLY's part was getting Sims for a 5th rounder...

Now I would have LOVED if Houston gavae up there 5th for Ernie Sims...In my opinion, we would automatically become the best LB corps in the league...SIMS is a WLB and is only 26...I would have given up a 5th and possibly added in a 6th this or next year...
A steal for Philly!
