Brandon Graham and Nate Allen, In my opinion, were almost perfect picks for the Eagles in the first and second rounds. Daniel Te'o-Nesheim (TAY-OH-Nesh-em) is the last person I expected to hear called when the Eagles finally selected in the 3rd round of the NFL Draft.
And this excites me!!
Te'o-Nesheim was one of the key members of the Washington Huskies defense. He red-shirted in 2005 and earned the scout team ...

With top-five ranked defenseman Cam Fowler still on the board and top-ten Brandon Gormley, the Rangers chose to go past them and take fifteenth-ranked physical defenseman Dylan McIlrath.
This move came as a complete shock, especially with two great defenseman available and goaltender Jack Campbell, whom analyst Russ Cohen suggested the Rangers draft.

2010 NHL Entry Draft: Taylor Hall Goes First , Tyler Seguin Second
Posted: 25th June 2010 by Mark Ritter in NHL
As expected, the Edmonton Oilers used the No. 1 pick to select Taylor Hall, while the Boston Bruins selected Tyler Seguin with the second overall pick. Hall, who won back-to-back Memorial Cups and Memorial Cup MVPs, gives the Oilers a very talented offensive-minded forward who should bring a certain amount of cache and respect back to the fledgling Oilers franchise. In Seguin, the Bruins get a player who ...
