Posted on 22. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
You can never have enough guys on your offense who have the ability to make big plays. I think the Eagles were have the opportunity to add a few more of these guys through the draft. One possibility is Arkansas wide receiver Joe Adams. At 5-11 and 180 pounds, he’s a little bit bigger than [...]

At 6-2 and 315 pounds, defensive tackle Brandon Thompson is yet another talented player in this years class at the position.

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 [...]

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 [...]
