[DH]

[ice grillin you]

ha.....classic

From the Inky, the day after the 97' draft...

And you thought you were surprised. When the phone rang yesterday afternoon, Jon Harris wasn't expecting it to be Ray Rhodes calling to congratulate him on becoming the Eagles' first-round draft choice. ``I have to say I was a little surprised,'' Harris said. ``The Eagles called me in the morning and said they would try to get me; I didn't know they meant in the first round. I thought maybe I would go in the second round.

[DH]

Eagles were the only "F" given by Peter King...

F

PHILADELPHIA Someday Ray Rhodes might just be right about first-rounded Jon Harris. But the raw defensive end was an awful reach a year ago, and he's an awful reach today.

I don't know if it's the age of some of you but if anyone ever mentions worst first round picks in Eagles history and the name "Kevin Allen" doesn't immediately follow, something's amiss.

Convicted rapist + colossal waste on the field = worst Eagles bust ever.

Free Agent 19
Draft Pick 28
Trade 2
Undrafted Free Agent 11
Picked by God and Delivered to Novacare 2
Drafted, left, resigned 2

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

nice work


22 players from free agency or trade (34%)
30 players they originally drafted (47%)
12 players, undrafted free agents (19%)

almost 20% of their roster is comprised of guys that no one in the entire league drafted.  am i wrong to think that number is incredibly too high?

Well, as long as we are playing, my I submit...Antone-two-farging-first-rounders-Davis?

The undrafted rookies do include Rod "igy's God" Hood, Quinten Mikell, Sam Rayburn, Greg lewis, and Jamaal Jackson (25%)...the rest of the UDFAs are special teamers.

None of them are really liabilities when you look at the role they play. (Except for Greg Lewis in 05)

[ice grillin you]

i think the point is that the team should contain players that contribute at a high level or who at least contain a higher ceiling as opposed to guys that "arent liabilities"


by definition draft picks are more talented than undrafted players

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.

In fairness to McBustle, that was the regular season opener (TO's first game as an Eagle, where he caught more TDs in the first quarter than any of our excuses for WRs had caught the entire previous season).  Definitely the highlight of his career.

[PhillyandBCEagles]

I farging hate the Patriots and their doucheclown fans.  If they sign Stallworth I will suicide bomb Gillette Stadium at their home opener next year.

[Diomedes]

Ya, so I got the game wrong.  He made one memorable play in a real game.  Why he's still an Eagle, I don't know.

If you're gonna take out Gillette stadium, do it when Kraft is there.  He's a douce.

[Father Demon]

Is this the Donte Stallworth thread?  Reading the last 2 pages made me confused.

[ice grillin you]

GET DONTE

[Father Demon]

That's more farging like it.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but

GREAT POST, IGY!
