It was a busy day 3 of the 2011 NFL draft for the Eagles with 8 picks to go through. With the 116th pick they selected Oregon LB Casey Matthews, the brother of the Packer's Clay Matthews. With the 120th pick they selected Nebraska K Alex Henery, the most accurate kicker in NCAA history, likely spelling the end of David Aker's Eagles career. With the 153rd pick they selected Pitt RB Dion Lewis to pair up with Lesean McCoy. After trading down to pick 161, they got some more offensive line help in Iowa OG Julian Vanderwelde. They got still more help for the o-line at pick 191 with Cincinnati OG Jason Kelce. Just a few minutes after that they grabbed Ohio State LB Brian Rolle with 193rd pick. Later with the 237th pick they finally selected a DE, getting Uconn DE Greg Lloyd, the son of the all pro Steeler LB. Finally with the 240th pick they selected USC FB Stanley Havili, who could be a bruising 3rd down back and play maker for the Birds.
