I do believe in the "build through the draft" philosophy and this is one area where the Eagles have done a pretty good job in for the most part ever since Reid came in.   

They've done ok, but nothing great, it's not like they are Pittsburgh or New England that has a good draft almost every year.

I said this before, but from the picks they had in the 04 and 05 ( i think it was 16 picks) drafts there are only 3 or 4 players still on the team it's players from those drafts that should be filling out this team.  I actually wonder what the ratio of free agents/trades:draft picks:undrafted free agents this team is comprised of.

From '04--Andrews and Tapeh are still on the team. That was a bad draft---Ware, who should have contributed more as a 3rd rounder was cut last year and signed by the Cards, but I don't even know if he played last year.

From '05--the only players not on the roster are Keyonta Marshall (7th rounder) and Calvin Armstrong (6th rounder). The rest, all except McCoy were given extensions last year.

i think it was the '03 and '04 drafts then, it was 2 back to back that didn't have great results.

'03 was stellar.  JEROME MCDOUGLE!

[SidFarkus]

the eagles problem is not that they are terrible overall at drafting...i would say they are spotty....its their utter inability to draft certain positions

they simply cannot find LB - DL - WR's that can play

I think you are absolutely spot on. Aside from Reggie Brown, they haven't drafted a decent player at either position. For all the successes we've seen in the secondary and on the offensive line, there's been at least as many busts at WR and LB.

[Diomedes]

He needs to be cut.  Or shot again.  Take your pick.

[SidFarkus]

'03 was stellar.  JEROME MCDOUGLE!

It's either him or Freddie that have to go down as the biggest draft bust of the Reid era.

[SunMo]

McDougle no doubt, they traded up to get him

[Diomedes]

Freddie at least farging played some.  Made a few catches.  Only a few, but farg.  McDougle hasn't done shtein.  Except rock Eli in a pre-season game.  Wahoo.

[Rome]

McDougle has been a colossal bust.  He hasn't contributed anything whatsoever.

At least Hollywood had the 4th & 26 and "scramble" catches.



Also - I don't believe anyone here was "freaking" out over the supposed New England offer.  I was speaking hypothetically when I said that if the Eagles didn't match the offer they were just being petty.  None of us knows for sure if the offer was made, but IF it was made and the Eagles didn't jump on it to match, they're farging retarded, plain and simple.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No contest.  The only entertainment/contributions McDougle has made since he was drafted are:

1.  Decking Eli.... a long, long time ago.
2.  Getting shot.

This is off the top of my head, with minimal research...so if i am wrong...so be it.

Except rock Eli in a pre-season game.  Wahoo.

That was actually in the opening game of the 04' season.

That's the time of year where records count.

[ice grillin you]

nine players in eight drafts that contribute on an above average level

i have no idea if that number is high or low compared to other teams during the same time period

[DH]

I remember thinking after Jon Harris was drafted that there will probably never be a bigger first round draft bust by the Eagles.

I so wish I was wrong.

[ice grillin you]

harris wins and its not close...he wasnt on some teams draft board...and not first round board...like the board where you have draftable players

mcdougle at least carried a first round grade
