Could the 3-4 Be Imminent?
by Talon Talent on May 4, 2012 11:48 AM EDT
on Bleeding Green Nation
So after watching the draft unfold and imagining the possibilities of our new acquisitions, I started to think how do these players fit in the long term? How do the current rookies and the current roster fit into a long term model for success? I began to read over the scouting reports of our newly acquired rookies, and I noticed a small trend. Versatility.
Most of our acquisitions were thought to be system versatile in the 4-3 or 3-4, and some were felt to be a better fit in the 3-4. This naturally peaked my interest and thus begun my quest to look at scouting reports from our recent FA signees, previous draftees, and the commonality between the wide nine and the rest of the defensive system Juan employs as opposed to the 3-4.

on Field Gulls
What's up other bird lovers? I finally was able to get my completely accurate, save yourself some time on Thursday, Friday, and the beginning of Saturday, mock draft done and figured I'd post it over here to boost my ego. Anyway I'll include a too long; did not read version at the bottom with just the Seahawks picks if you just want to scan there. Hope you enjoy.

Here is my final (seriously this is it) mock draft of the 2012 season. I decided to just select the picks your teams will make and give you some extra time with your family and friends this week. Your welcome.
On a serious note, due to time constraints, the explanations have had to be bypassed for rounds 3 and 4. Also this mock includes trades, so be weary of your teams positioning. Let the dissecting begin.

Back with the next installment of my eventual 4 round mock draft. Your comments and discussion helped me out a lot so I took heed to those suggestions (mostly) and updated your selections. Would love to hear your constructive criticism again so that the next one is even better. Also I extended the trades to the 2nd round but left the third round untouched. Okay have at it.

The most accurate 2 round mock in the world
by Talon Talent on Apr 9, 2012 3:09 AM EDT
on Mocking The Draft
So I tried my hand at a two round mock, can it be considered a mock when it's this accurate?, draft as I build my way up to delivering a 4 round mock draft. I included 1st round trades but wanted to get some input before I extend that to the 2nd round. Anyway enjoy...or don't, but please leave constructive criticism so I can continue to improve my understanding of your teams drafting habits.
Afghan Vet Prospect Visted Eagles
This is an interview conducted by Damon Talbot, a small school scout for college football, with a player named Morkeith Brown, a DE from Temple who also spent 14 months in Afghanistan. Apparently he had a visit with the Eagles recently so it's relevant.

Trade from the Eagles?
Okay so I like to do mock drafts and I don't like to always do the same ho hum type drafts so here is the scenario. We find out that Jason Peters will never fully recover and is hinting towards retirement after his achilles tear. Matt Kalil is the consensus top LT in this years draft and we decide that we want him. What would that trade need to look like? My proposal is your 1st round pick, 3 for our 1st round pick, 15-2nd round pick, 46- 3rd round pick, 88- and Asante Samuel. Would this be satisfactory?

on Mocking The Draft
Okay so this is my problem. Last year I avoided making mock drafts because once I start, i just keep doing it. This year I tried to keep it to one but alas it is impossible for me. Good or bad, I must try to predict what the teams will do. It's a good thing I don't gamble else I would have a serious problem. Anyway, here is my latest mock, just days after my first one. ( Had a serious oversight of leaving Kuechly off the board first time. My apologies. Updated.)

BGN Mock Community Draft Needs You
by Talon Talent on Mar 27, 2012 12:31 AM EDT
on Field Gulls
Hello to the northwest. I am Talon Talent a member of Bleeding Green Nation and have undertaken the task of selecting the Seahawks 1st round pick in our BGN Community Draft. I have done my own research but find it very valuable to discuss my perception of your teams needs with the people who live and breathe Seahawks daily. After the jump I will list players I think you might consider with the 12th pick and ask for your help in deciphering why it's a reasonable pick, absurd pick, or why seahawks are a greater bird then bald eagles. Please feel free to suggest players I may not have thought of. I hope wth your help, I can accurately make your selection.

Your One Stop Shop for Mock Drafts

I decided to do a little reboot from KyIe's post a few weeks ago and try to condense all the latest mock drafts/offseason moves into one neat and tidy post. We all have good ideas (well most of us....some of us) but being constantly inundated with mock after mock is causing some of the posts to be expelled off the page before we can even get a chance to read them.
This post gives some good links to refer to to help in your quest to figure out the entire 1st round, entire draft, or just the Eagles selections in the upcoming NFL draft. After the jump we can get down to brass tacks.

This is a copy of the letter I have sent to the Union's home page contact section and will send to everybody else I can think of. We can not let Le Toux leave for some crappy lateral move. I implore everybody to do the same!

The Absurdity of Nate Allen Hate
by Talon Talent on Jan 3, 2012 12:28 AM EST
on Bleeding Green Nation
There is a lot of hate being spread Nate Allen's way and after 2 seasons a lot of people are saying he doesn't have what it takes to be a safety in the NFL. Jumping to this conclusion is showing a befuddling amount of short sightedness.

Cool little video on the Eagles website where Le Toux and Califf have a little competition with Alex Henery and Chas Henry the Eagles kicker and punter, respectively. It's the first section of the video and runs about 7 minutes and 40 sec.
