The Eagles have acquired 25-year old OLB Ernie Sims from the Lions.  The Eagles have sent a 5th round pick to the Broncos while Denver sent TE Tony Scheffler and a 7th round pick to the Lions.  Sims fills an immediate need for the Eagles and they will love this guy as he really hits hard.  Sims played in 11 games for the Lions last season in which he made 49 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss and he defensed 1 pass.  He was dinged up most of last season.  He has now played in 59 games in his four years in the NFL in which he has 421 tackles, 5 passes defensed, he has 2.5 sacks, forced 4 fumbles and he has 1 interception.  This was outstanding value for a fifth round pick as the Eagles finally made a trade that  I like.
