5 Defensive Game Changers the Eagles Should Pursue in the 2011 Draft
Posted on 14. Apr, 2011 by Mike Burke.
The Eagles defense needs some serious help. They lack a player who opposing offenses fear and opposing offensive coordinators really have to game plan for. Asante Samuel can be tough to throw at, but he only plays one side. Put your better receivers on the opposite side, and it solves that problem. Entering the 2011 [...]

Eagles 2011 Draft Prospect: Lehigh Offensive Lineman Will Rackley
Posted on 13. Apr, 2011 by Chris Lex.
One of the biggest needs for the Philadelphia Eagles heading into the 2011 draft is offensive line . Andy Reid failed to draft any offensive lineman last year, but I can guarantee that this is in area that will be heavily targeted come April 28. The offensive line proved to be inconsistent last season and [...]

Eagles 2011 Draft Prospect: California Defensive End Cameron Jordan
Posted on 12. Apr, 2011 by Mike Burke.
With Eagles head coach Andy Reid saying that it would be a “real stretch” for defensive end Brandon Graham to be ready for the 2011 opener, there is a little bit of question surrounding the defensive end position. If they were to take a defensive end early in the 2011 draft, history says he’d probably [...]

Eagles 2011 Draft Prospect: Boston College Offensive Tackle Anthony Castonzo
Posted on 12. Apr, 2011 by Mike Burke.
I’ve harped on it many times this offseason already, but the Eagles have a big issue right now. They have established Michael Vick as the guy they want to be their franchise quarterback moving forward. However, the right side of the line failed to protect Vick throughout the season and they need to find some [...]

Could the Eagles Make a Move for Patrick Peterson or Prince Amukamara?
Posted on 12. Apr, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Let’s be honest. When the Eagles offseason started, we wanted one thing: Nnamdi Asomugha. The thought of him lining up opposite of Asante Samuel gives me similar feelings to the Phillies starting rotation. In case you don’t follow baseball or live under a rock, I’m trying to say that it would make me beyond happy. [...]

Eagles 2011 Draft Prospect: North Carolina Defensive End Robert Quinn
Posted on 11. Apr, 2011 by Chris Lex.
The Eagles thought that they had solidified the left defensive end position when they moved up in last year’s draft to the 13th pick to select Brandon Graham out of Michigan. However, with inconsistent play and a late season knee injury, the Eagles once again find themselves in a similar position; finding a defensive end [...]

Just when it looked like Stewart Bradley was ready to have a monster season in 2009, he suffered an unfortunate ACL injury that ended his season in the annual Eagles Flight Night event. The Eagles really missed him while he was out in 2009, as the team tried filling his spot with multiple players, none [...]

Eagles 2011 Draft Prospect: Virginia Tech Quarterback Tyrod Taylor
Posted on 10. Apr, 2011 by Mike Burke.
It seems pretty apparent that the Eagles are interested in taking a quarterback in this year’s draft. Could they be interested in someone who fits the dual-threat mold that Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick posses? It seems possible as they’ve hosted Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor for a private workout. At 6’1” and 217 pounds, [...]

Eagles 2011 Draft Prospect: Oklahoma State Running Back Kendall Hunter
Posted on 08. Apr, 2011 by Mike Burke.
There’s no doubt in my mind that the Eagles will take a running back at some point in this year’s draft. Where that may be, I’m not sure. A lot of people liked what they saw out of Jerome Harrison last year, as did I. However, he wants to start in this league and he’s [...]
