With the 105th selection, Eagles take Trevard Lindley
Posted on 24. Apr, 2010 by Mike Burke.
The Eagles have had a hole at cornerback and finally took steps in the draft to try and fill that position. With the 105th overall selection in the draft, the Eagles have taken Trevard Lindley a cornerback out of Kentucky. I thought the Eagles would try to take a corner much earlier than this, but [...]

With the 86th selection, Eagles take Daniel Te’o-Nesheim
Posted on 23. Apr, 2010 by Mike Burke.
Well after trading back multiple times, the Eagles have finally made another selection and it seems to be another surprise. They have taken another defensive end. This time it’s Daniel Te’o-Nesheim out of Washington. I was expecting them to start looking for interior lineman with this selection but they decided to stay on defense. Te’o-Nesheim [...]

With the 37th selection, Eagles take Nate Allen
Posted on 23. Apr, 2010 by Mike Burke.
The Eagles have finally addressed their need for a new safety. With the fifth overall selection in the second round, the Eagles took Nate Allen out of South Florida. I like this pick here and I’m happy they didn’t take Taylor Mays. He is more of a true safety than Mays is and will definitely [...]

With this new draft format, it’s now Friday and the Eagles are heading into the second and third rounds of the 2010 NFL Draft. Before yesterday, the Eagles were scheduled to make four picks today. However, that number has been cut in half as the Eagles traded both of their third round selections (along with [...]

Eagles trade up for Brandon Graham
Posted on 22. Apr, 2010 by Mike Burke.
The Eagles have made their first pick in the first round. Giving up the 24th overall selection and their two third round selections, the Birds moved up to the 13th overall selection to take Brandon Graham. With Earl Thomas still on the board, it was pretty surprising. For more on Brandon Graham, click here.

The day is finally upon us and we will soon see some new faces added to the Eagles roster. Some will make the team, some will be cut before the season starts.

My thoughts on the Eagles 2010 schedule
Posted on 21. Apr, 2010 by Mike Burke.
Until the draft goes down tomorrow night, the Eagles schedule will be a popular topic. It’s going to be no easy road for them, and it’s not just because they may or may not be “rebuilding.” The Eagles will open their season at home against the Green Bay Packers. For the many who compared Kevin [...]

Posted on 19. Apr, 2010 by Mike Burke.
After just talking today about the Eagles taking a linebacker prospect early in the draft, the Eagles have made a trade in order to acquire Ernie Sims from the Detroit Lions. Sims spent four seasons in Detroit, recording over 100 tackles in his first three season but not reaching the mark in 2009 as he [...]

2010 Draft Prospect: Brandon Spikes
Posted on 19. Apr, 2010 by Mike Burke.
Last season wasn’t a very good year for the Eagles linebackers. There was a lot of rotation going on and the Eagles couldn’t seem to find a group of players that could get the job done. When Stewart Bradley went down last year, the Eagles struggled to fill his shoes. He will be returning this [...]

2010 Draft Prospect: Taylor Mays
Posted on 16. Apr, 2010 by Mike Burke.
If you want to talk about speed in this year’s NFL Draft, you’ve got to talk about Taylor Mays, the safety out of USC. This guy is an absolute freak. He stands at 6-3 225 pounds and can run like a freight train. There was a lot of controversy surrounding his NFL Combine 40-yard dash [...]
