Eagle Eye View: Eagles 2011 NFL Draft Preview

Posted on 26. Apr, 2011 by Brennen Dickerson in Eagles Related, NFL Draft, Podcast

We’re back! It’s been since the end of the season that we’ve recorded a podcast but we’re back to preview the 2011 NFL Draft. The offseason has a bit boring due to the NFL lockout, but we’re hear to voice our thoughts on how we think things will go for the Eagles in the draft.

There was some news with the lockout, so we touch a bit on that. However, we begin our focus by talking about what we believe is the number one need for the Eagles heading into the draft.

After discussing some of the biggest needs for the Eagles, we jump into some first round possibilities that may be available to fill these needs. Howie Roseman hinted that the Eagles may move out of the first round, so we discuss our beliefs on what he said.

We debate on whether the Eagles will try to make a move up in the draft or if they will trade back. Also, we voiced our opinion on some players we’d like the Eagles to take at 23rd overall if they decide to stay there.

Outside of the first round, we discuss some other needs of the Eagles and what players and positions they’ll look at in the second round and beyond.

In the end, we field some questions from the fans. We’re looking forward to draft weekend and hope you enjoy the podcast.
