Philadelphia Eagles Select Stanley Havili In The Seventh Round of The 2011 NFL Draft

The Eagles have two compensation picks in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and with their second pick (No. 240 Overall), Philadelphia selected, Stanley Havili, fullback, from USC. This pick is very interesting for the Eagles. They already have Leonard Weaver and Owen Schmitt on the roster, and both are more than capable [...]

Philadelphia Eagles Select Greg Loyd In The Seventh Round Of The 2011 NFL Draft

With the Eagles second to last pick (No. 237 Overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft, Philadelphia has selected, Greg Loyd, defensive end, from Connecticut. This is a bit surprising that the Eagles looked defensive end this late, considering that it was one of their more pressing needs. But, better late than never, and there have been [...]

Philadelphia Eagles Select Brian Rolle In The Sixth Round of the 2011 NFL Draft

With what was originally the New England Patriots pick in a ridiculous one-pick swap, the Eagles selected Ohio State’s, linebacker, Brian Rolle. The Eagles finally drafted another linebacker after three straight picks of offensive lineman, and are looking to fill a need for a quick and high-motor type of player. Rolle was drafted after several visits with [...]

Philadelphia Eagles Select Jason Kelce In The Sixth Round of The 2011 NFL Draft

The Eagles have two picks in the sixth round (No. 191 and No. 193 Overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft. Philadelphia actually swapped their sixth round pick (No. 194 Overall), for the Patriots sixth round pick (No. 193 Overall). The trade doesn’t make much sense, but Andy Reid and Bill Belichick have conducted a trade for [...]

Philadelphia Eagles Select Julian Vandervelde in The Fifth Round of The 2011 NFL Draft

In return the Eagles received one fifth round pick (No. 161 Overall), and a sixth round pick (No. 194 [...]

Philadelphia Eagles Select Dion Lewis In The Fifth Round of The 2011 NFL Draft

Philadelphia has stockpiled quite a few picks in the later rounds of the 2011 NFL Draft, and currently have two picks in the fifth round. With Philadelphia’s first pick in the fifth round (No. 149 Overall), the Eagles have selected Dion Lewis, running back, from Pittsburgh. There were talks going into the NFL Draft that the Eagles were [...]

Philadelphia Eagles Select Alex Henery in The Fourth Round of The 2011 NFL Draft

The Eagles managed to score quite a few picks in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, and with their second selection the Eagles drafted Alex Henery, kicker, from Nebraska. This is one of the most telling Andy Reid picks that I have seen in a number of years, as that surely means that David Akers [...]

Philadelphia Eagles Select Casey Matthews In The Fourth Round of The 2011 NFL Draft

The Eagles are trading more than usual in this NFL Draft, making yet another trade in the fourth round, interestingly enough, trading away one of the McNabb picks that the Eagles received from the Redskins. Trading away Philadelphia’s fourth round pick (No. 104 Overall), and receiving a fourth round pick in exchange (No. 116 Overall), [...]
