Ernie Sims to Eagles

[Ragin Kajun]

So what happens to his value now? I have to think it should be raised somewhat, now that he's in a defense that will need him to be a 3 down LB. Maybe this is the boost his career needed, or did the Lions make a good move in dumping a guy who was never as good as his billing?

The Eagles were pretty desperate at LB. I would think he gets a nice boost in value with this trade.

Slight boost, but hes still an OLB in a 4-3. You have to be very good to rack up fantasy stats from that position.

I think his upside is a LB2 if he can stay healthy.

I think it's a boost to his value. He doesn't fit the strong side LB body type, so he'll be on the weak side which is good for his FF value. The Eagles high octane blitzing defensive scheme could be just what he needed to figure things out. His lack of sacks leads me to believe he wasn't asked to blitz very often in the NFL. My only issue is that he already over ran things in the Lions D that took him out of plays and their Def isn't as complex with player movement as the Eagles. IF the Eagles can exploit his speed and rein him in a little at the same time, this could be a good fit.... otherwise he's going to be a complete train wreck in the Eagles Def and open up huge holes.
