Mel Kiper mock draft has the Eagles double-dipping on defense with with their first two picks
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports How do you like this scenario? Correct me if I’m wrong (wouldn’t be the first time) but I feel like most Philadelphia Eagles fans would like some combination of a wide receiver and a cornerback with their first two picks in the 2021 NFL Draft. That’d be an ideal outcome considering they’re the two biggest positions of need on a roster full of holes. Such a scenario does not play out for the Birds in Mel Kiper’s latest mock draft. The ESPN analyst instead has the Birds going defense with both of their first two selections,...

5 things to know about new Eagles linebacker Eric Wilson
Photo by Stephen Maturen/ Vikings perspective on Philadelphia’s new LB. The Philadelphia Eagles added to their thin linebacker corps last week by signing Eric Wilson to a one-year contract. Reunited with Jonathan Gannon and Nick Rallis, Wilson figures to be a starter in Philly. In order to learn more about the Eagles’ newest defender, I thought it’d benefit BGN readers to get a Minnesota Vikings perspective on Wilson. I reached out to the excellent Eric Thompson (@eric_j_thompson) of Daily Norseman and here’s what he had to share. 1 - Can you recap Wilson’s...

The Linc - Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman “need to show they can change”
Photo by Mitchell Leff/ Philadelphia Eagles news and links for 4/13/21. Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ... The Emperor’s New Clothes - Iggles BlitzLurie and Roseman are smart men. They’ve done some terrific things with the Eagles and no matter what, you can’t take away Super Bowl LII. That really happened. But these men are destroying the good will they built up with that amazing feat by making bad football moves and bad people decisions. I hope this piece proves to be some kind of wakeup call. I’m not holding my breath, though. Lurie and Roseman...

2 Reasons Philadelphia Eagles help Jalen Reagor by drafting another WR
Almost one year later, the Philadelphia Eagles selection of Reagor is still baffling. Okay, no one wants to say it, but it needs to be said. One year after screwing up the D.K. Metcalf versus JJ Arcega-Whiteside thing, the Philadelphia Eagles had a chance to get things right and have a make-up date with the […] 2 Reasons Philadelphia Eagles help Jalen Reagor by drafting another WR - Inside the Iggles - Inside the Iggles - Philadelphia Eagles News, Opinion, and Fan Community

Jaycee Horn, CB, South Carolina I’m not going to lie: when I got to my pick I was a little dismayed that I didn’t have the opportunity to draft one of the top 3 WRs. Ja’Marr Chase, DeVonta Smith, and Jaylen Waddle all could be great assets to our offense and help show if Jalen Hurts is truly the man to lead us into the future. Jaycee Horn is a perfectly good consolation prize, though. Let’s start out with what...

Philadelphia Eagles: More details emerge of Doug Pederson’s toxic tenure
In some ways, it seems like water under the bridge. In other ways, it feels like there’s no way news like this can go unreported. Doug Pederson is no longer the Philadelphia Eagles head coach and never will be again. Sure, we should move on, but whenever we hear something about his tenure, our antennas […] Philadelphia Eagles: More details emerge of Doug Pederson’s toxic tenure - Inside the Iggles - Inside the Iggles - Philadelphia Eagles News, Opinion, and Fan Community

What do you think of the Eagles’ 2021 NFL Draft hat?
New year, new look. Blogging about the Philadelphia Eagles’ draft hats is an annual tradition here at Bleeding Green Nation. So, here we are to tell you about this year’s version! Behold: This is the hat that’ll be worn on stage (or at home) by whomever the Eagles select in the 2021 NFL Draft. And, yes, unlike last year’s entirely virtual draft, there will be in-person attendance at this year’s event in Cleveland later this month. It’ll be nice to potentially see the Eagles’ first-round selection posing with Roger Goodell and holding up a midnight green jersey...

Philadelphia Eagles draft: Top 3 wide receiver options in Round 4
Day 3 of the NFL Draft offers WR potential for the Philadelphia Eagles. Remember when Philadelphia Eagles fans were hopeful that JJ Arcega-Whiteside would be the next Alshon Jeffery?

New report from The Athletic shines light on the Eagles’ internal dysfunction
Photo by Mitchell Leff/ Not exactly encouraging. If you’ve never felt more disillusioned about the Philadelphia Eagles, well, I’d say it’s hard to blame you. I’ve been there for some time now. This is an organization that’s been on the decline ever since lifting their first Vince Lombardi Trophy and they haven’t been fully honest with themselves about why they’ve fallen from grace. The Eagles’ actions would have you believe that moving on from Doug Pederson and Carson Wentz while keeping the front office in tact will help right the ship. But the...

Even after adding two tackles in 2020, the Philadelphia Eagles need depth. It’s something that we should have seen coming if you self-identify as a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
