Yeah I guess if that's the case then I agree. I doubt many here would've hated getting any of them at the pick they went. Maybe Walker and Davis we'd have grumbled a bit.

When you're drafting that much from one school you have to wonder if the pro team is really keyed in on how they will fit in as NFL players in their scheme.

Well take someone like Smith. He could absolutely be too small and flame out. But he could also be the next Reddick, and he might be the next Reddick quicker than Reddick developed because he has Reddick to learn from. That seemed a decent gamble to me. They know how we MIGHT fit.

I get the point that playing on a stacked team can make you look good, but man a lot of these guys just...were good imo. I'm pretty certain the Eagles weren't just watching their highlights.

I mean other than Walker what are we using to say they're overrated or haven't worked out?

"We loved those guys in college and so we ranked them high on our draft boards. Now they got drafted lower than we expected but that doesn't mean we were off on them, it means the Eagles are fantastic because they agreed with us!!!"

It's just peak tail wagging dog stuff.

Who got drafted later than expected? Maybe Carter for character questions? Maybe Smith but lots of people had him late 1st.

There's not enough history quite yet to gauge comfortably.

I'm just not a firm believer in just trying to look really good as a Kiper reviews your scorecard. Sure he gave your draft an A+ but how do those players fit in and help you win today?

Baltimore got themselves trapped in that game and we'll see if Philly does the same.
