Broncos trade Scheffler to the Lions

PrintYou can cross one of the armchair GM's tight end trade candidates for the St. Louis Rams off the list. The Broncos moved TE Tony Scheffler to the Lions as part of a three-way deal that sent Lions LB Ernie Sims to Philly. The Broncos got a fifth round pick for Scheffler.
It's a little strange to me. Detroit has a young TE in Brandon Pettigrew, widely considered the best TE in last year's draft and Detroit's second pick in the first round (#20). Pettigrew is still recovering from a torn ACL. His availability for the start of the season is no sure thing, so this trade gives them some solid insurance.
Considering the Broncos were said to be asking for a third round pick, the Lions got a pretty good deal on a player that the Rams were said to be interested in at one point in time. I'm glad they didn't give up their third round pick, but if the price eventually came down to a fifth rounder, it would have been nice to see the Rams, who need offensive playmakers, land him. Oh well. There are plenty of transactions yet to come, and Devaney might be hoarding his draft picks to see what shakes out this weekend. Can't fault him for that.

Here. I’ll just say it since this comment always appears in the comment section of every trade post.
Now….we’ve got that out of our way.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

i think he was teasing us,
with his cameo appearance in the turfie awards fan post.

I believe he's maybe been around...

Personally,
I think that Ernie Sims was the prized piece in this trade. He has been a lone bright spot in their defense since they drafted him. Would have been an excellent OLB to fill a need. Kudos to Phillie as I said in my post.
agree

Scheffler looks to much like Scheffter on my screen
That’s why I’m glad we didn’t get him. Is that a good reason?
Sean Weatherspoon
I think it is safe to say that the Eagles, with Sims, will now not be looking to take Weatherspoon. If he can slip past the Giants and Atlanta, there is a better chance we get the top 4-3 OLB with the #33 pick.
This might prove to be a good trade for the Rams.
