The Eagles came in to today with only 2 picks in day two and they left with two players. They also gained a whole lot of draft picks in day 3 where the Eagles value the picks the most.
With the 37th pick in the 2010 pick the Eagles select Nate Allen safety from the University of South Florida. Nate Allen is a great pick here for the Eagles as he is a versitle safety.Allen has been an great safety for the Bulls. He has great athletic ability and great size. His one weakness might be that he is not a great physical tackler and needs to finish better at the next level. He has great quickness. He shows good range in pursuit but needs to be more consistent taking angles to the ball. He re-routes receivers as he has long arms and is technique sound in combination man and zone coverages. Allen can beat a great player for the Eagles as they needed a safety in this year's draft as they needed to replace Brian Dawkins and Macho Harris was not cutting it.
Then the Eagles did alot of trading of picks dealing the 55th overall pick to Dallas in exchange for the 59th overall pick and a fourth rounder, No. 125 overall then they moved down again, sending No. 59 to the Browns in exchange for No. 71, 131 and 146. By adding the 71st pick, the Eagles get into the third round then they traded And then they traded down once again, sending No. 71 to the Packers for 83 in the third round and No. 122. So they now have 10 picks in day 3 in round 4 the 105, 121, 122, 125 picks, along with 134 and 146 in the fifth, 200 in the sixth and 243 and 244 in the seventh.
The Eagles then finally selected with the 83rd pick in the draft they selected Daniel Te'o-Nesheim DE out of the University of Washington. Te'o-Nesheim is known for his intensity his toughness and he is a very good leader, some things alot of NFL teams covet in players. He did set the all-time leader in sacks at Washington with 30.5 sacks in his career including 11 in his senior year.
