Eagles make moves in personnel, scouting
Daily News staff
The Eagles announced they have named Anthony Patch as Director of College Scouting and Rick Mueller as Pro Personnel Executive.
“We are very pleased to promote Anthony and add Rick to our scouting staff,” GM Howie Roseman said in a statement. “Anthony has been one of our top talent evaluators during his tenure as a college scout, has great relationships throughout football and is an extremely hard worker. Rick brings a wealth of NFL experience while giving us a new and fresh set of eyes to evaluate incoming talent. They will both play a role in helping us prepare for this offseason of free agency and the draft.”
Patch, 33, spent the last 10 seasons on the Eagles scouting staff. He first joined the team in 2002 as a college scouting coordinator, was quickly promoted to college scout before being named assistant director of college scouting in 2010.
Mueller is a veteran of 15 NFL seasons with New Orleans (2000-08) and Jacksonville (1994-2000). With the Saints, he was vice president of player personnel from 2006-08 and director of player personnel from 2000-2006. He worked as the Jaguars director of college scouting (1998-2000) after 5 years as a college scout (1994-98).
Mueller, 44, most recently spent two seasons as an executive in the UFL, serving as general manager of Omaha in 2010 and as vice president and general manager for all four teams in their inaugural season of 2009.
The most significant move in the personnel department will involve finding a replacement for Ryan Grigson, who left to become the general manager of the Colts. Roseman suggested this week at the Senior Bowl that the move might not come until after the draft. The contracts of most personnel people run through the draft.
Yawn.. get back to me when Castillo is fired...— Wiseman6- Wow! We should have great drafts from now on. I can hardly wait.— chops10
- As if... the HATERS and SMASHERS would stop their continual 8th grade cackling if only Andy was fired. HA(!) - That would last 5 minutes, that's how long it would take for Hater Nation to start complaining about the new coach. These folks (not fans mind you) even mock end zone celebrations, and for years on end.
"Haters Hate" - PERIOD. That's all they do!— Laughingaloud123 - what we hate is incompetence and it is pretty easy to find in this so-called NFL franchise. — coloradoeagle
- Strictly looking at the how the Eagles draft in the lessor rounds I am not impressed with anything concerning the Eagles Scouting Department. I really think they are hiring kids who won Madden Tournaments in the area.— Dexter
- "Psst...hey Andy...got a Senior Bowl tip for ya...Shea McClellin, d-lineman, Boise State...6-3 1/4, 248...high motor guy!"

Actually he might be a good prospect if they move him to LB...let's see if Andy and Howie bite. - One year we drafted all the Record Holders for the Combine the next year all MVPs in Conferences players.. this year?? Most arrested In Collegiate play..??— Kevinmac
- If you promote from within and are constantly, seriously challenging for the Super Bowl, then this is a good approach. If you're promoting from within and you're not, then you're in an echo chamber where you're hearing only what you want to hear. Which is the case with the Eagles?— RightSaidJeff
- JUST PONEY UP AND PAY JEFFERY AND DO IT AGAIN NEXT REAR.— john morrissey
- IN THE FIRST ROUND LUMPY PICKS DONALD DUCK...DISNEY LAND UNIVERSITY MASCOT...— john morrissey
- doesnt matter... this organization has made a good draft pick in 50 years. if i were drafted to the Eagles, I might pull and Eli and demand to be relocated because they aren't winning. ever.— Apollo Creed
