JetroLot Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 This was my published mock the year we drafted Cox, so I can't say the Eagles did bad. 🤣 Quote 15. Fletcher Cox, DT Mississippi State 46. Bobby Wagner, LB Utah State 51. Brandon Boykin, NCB/RS Georgia 88. Vinny Curry, DE Marshall 114. Nick Foles, QB Arizona 153. Devon Wylie, WR Fresno State 172.

SBorBust Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 I’m not going back to McNabb because the information available in 1999 was not even close to what it was just 10 years later. Is that wrong? Should he be included? Also, we obviously (unfortunately) remember the Dirty 30. However, WIP’s opinion wasn’t shared by everyone. There were plenty who wanted McNabb or Culpepper. If I remember correctly, Ricky Williams edged them out, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain F Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The EMB was all over Rickey Williams. Conservatively id say 85% wanted him. When McNabb was picked, you may as well have called it the dirty 3000 because everyone on here was bishin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesFan Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I doubt I ever stated it on the EMB, can’t remember, but I definitely wanted Russell Wilson in 2012. It pained me later to hear that the Eagles were allegedly planning to grab him in the third. They ended up with Foles though, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I mean look... I think we as a collective would have hit on a lot of picks but missed on a fair few too. We very likely would have done a better job than the weasel but who knows. I mean we don't have the same insight as the scouts and coaches and GMs. We don't get to interview guys, we don't get to speak with their college teammates or coaches etc. We don't have insight in to medical concerns or issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting, however, is that 1999 was an inflection point in the NFL. People would laugh at the concept of drafting the most dominant rusher in the NCAA over one of the top 3 QB's in the draft now. In 1999, people still thought that Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Terrell Davis were the key to dominating on offense...because they were. The Rams changed all of that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just sayin’. - Bobby Wagner would be an Eagle. - DK Metcalf would be an Eagle. - Kareem Hunt would be an Eagle. - Marcus Peters would be an Eagle. - Jeremy Chinn would be an Eagle. - Levonta David would probably be an Eagle. - Fletcher Cox would still be an Eagle. That was a no-brainer. - Earl Thomas instead of Brandon Graham. - Reuben Foster instead of Derek Barnett - I’m actually not sure about Lane Johnson. I think everyone was assuming Eric Fisher, then he shot up the board. Do you disagree with any of these assessments? Who am I missing? LMAO.......sure, and everybody would have drafted Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Russell Wilson.....And let's not forget Ricky Williams.

Wanted to kill my tv. Eric Weddle, David Harris, and Chris Houston were my 3 guys. 2 of those 3 went on to have Pro Bowl careers and the other was at least serviceable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean look I don't like Howie, I think he's a bad GM but let's not go that far. Howie has all the information and access and I don't think he ignores it. He either listens to the wrong people or he takes that information and uses it incorrectly to make the wrong decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the stars aligned perfectly, our wrs: Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs & Davante Adams... and we would be signing Nelson Agholor from the Sacramento Raiders as free-agent to be our slot receiver! Pretty sure Adams was '14 where we took Jordan Matthews w both available in the 2nd. Yea let's do that one over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no def not but to your first point hindsight is purely speculation so you can't conclude anything one way or the other. Too many variables. Variables Howie needs to better understand and utilize or the likelihood of more of the same will be depressingly high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
