The Safety Pick

While the masses crave a big "impact" signing like CB Asante Samuel, Bob Brookover presciently predicts that the Eagles will more likely make a run at Giants S Gibril Wilson, a player more in line with the Eagles overall free agent strategy, i.e., he's a more economical signing/upgrade.

Plus, Wilson is on a division rival so even if the Eagles don't sign him it will cost the Giants extra to retain him. And if they do manage to land him, they weaken the Giants' defense. Wilson has also played under Steve Spagnualo's defense so he should be familiar with the overall Jim Johnson philosophy and the Eagles will have an accurate evaluation of Wilson's ability to play for them. Finally, going after Wilson and not Samuel avoids a brewing problem with Lito Sheppard and his contract dissatisfaction. Throw Samuel $20 million in bonus money and the Eagles practically guarantee a Lito holdout this summer.
