Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Oregon Running Back LaMichael James
Posted on 21. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
With LeSean McCoy coming off a terrific season, there is no question mark surrounding the Eagles staring quarterback position. However, there is a question about who will backup McCoy. The Ronnie Brown experience failed last year, and there are question marks around Dion Lewis. The Eagles may look to the draft to find a guy [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Penn State Defensive Tackle Devon Still
Posted on 21. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Consistently inconsistent. I think that is a fair assessment of Penn State defensive tackle Devon Still. At times, he shows flashes of absolute greatness. However, there are also periods of time that go by where Still just seems to go through the motions and makes no impact. Early on at this year’s NFL Combine, I [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Michigan State Quarterback Kirk Cousins
Posted on 20. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Although there are many who don’t want to see the Eagles draft a quarterback this year, there are concerns about the current backup situation. History tends to repeat itself, and if that holds true, odds are that we will see a backup quarterback forced into the starting role at some point in 2012. Given that [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Memphis Defensive Tackle Dontari Poe
Posted on 19. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
NFL star or Combine star? That’s the big question everyone is asking when it comes to Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe. After topping the charts in the bench press and running a great 40-yard dash for a man his size, Poe’s draft stock has skyrocketed. It’s pretty hard to project what Poe’s ceiling will be [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Alabama Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick
Posted on 18. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
As of late, I’ve seen some discussion about the Eagles maybe trying to draft a corner in the first round. I’m not sure how seriously they would consider doing that, but of course we never know with them. An option they would have in the first round is Alabama corner Dre Kirkpatrick. Personally, I’ve always [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Utah State Linebacker Bobby Wagner
Posted on 17. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
As the draft gets closer and closer, my gut tells me more and more the Eagles won’t take a linebacker in the first round. Realistically, the only real possibility I see would be Luke Kuechly, and I just don’t see it happening. I can definitely see a linebacker being on the radar on the second [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Florida Running Back Chris Rainey
Posted on 13. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
The Eagles have tried to use Chad Hall as a hybrid type of player in their offense. University of Florida running back Chris Rainey projects to have the same type of role in the NFL and the Eagles seem to think he could be an option for them, bringing Rainey in for a private workout. [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Nebraska Linebacker Lavonte David
Posted on 13. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
The Eagles made a huge upgrade to the middle linebacker position when they traded for DeMeco Ryans. However, they can still use some help on the outside and will more than likely look to the draft to do so. A solid option to do this would be Nebraska linebacker Lavonte David. At 6-1 and 233 [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Michigan State Defensive Tackle Jerel Worthy
Posted on 12. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
The defensive tackle position is one that the Eagles seem to have a lot of interest in. Many are projecting the Eagles to take one in the first round. However, we all know that the Eagles like to surprise everyone, so there is no guarantee. One defensive tackle they may have their eye on is [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Marshall Defensive End Vinny Curry
Posted on 11. Apr, 2012 by Alec Beckman.
The Philadelphia Eagles have consistently shown a desire for terrific line play, drafting six linemen with their past seven first round picks. Out of those six linemen, four of them have been on the defensive side of the ball. The Eagles clearly value the success that comes along with great lines, but how do you [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: California Linebacker Mychal Kendricks
Posted on 10. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
After adding DeMeco Ryans, the likelihood of the Eagles looking for a linebacker in the first round has diminished. The option can’t be completely ruled out, but bringing in Ryans and Andy Reid’s track record tend to make you think that way. With two picks in the second round, this may be a more likely [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Alabama Safety Mark Barron
Posted on 09. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Nobody wanted to see Brian Dawkins go. He was and always will be a Philadelphia legend. The departure of Dawkins became even worse as the Eagles have continued to struggle in replacing him. When Quintin Mikell left, things seemed to get even worse. The Eagles have attempted to make efforts to bring in talent at [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: North Carolina Defensive End Quinton Coples
Posted on 08. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Two years ago, the Eagles drafted Brandon Graham and hoped he could be a forceful pass rusher opposite Trent Cole. Graham is yet to live up to expectations, so the Eagles may try to find a young stud again this year. One option they may explore is North Carolina defensive end Quinton Coples. At 6-6 [...]
