This list shows that you don't need megabucks FA signings at the beginning of free agency to help your team.

I agree with you but wasn’t Alshon the consensus #1 free agent that offseason?

TO was a trade, not a FA pickup

If he was the consensus #1 FA, he never would have signed a one year contract. For whatever its worth, this site had him rated #23

https://walterfootball.com/freeagents2017all.php

although NFL.com had him rated #1

https://www.nfl.com/news/2017-nfl-free-agency-top-101-available-players-0ap3000000788031

1. Nick Foles

2. Brandon Brooks

3. Malcolm Jenkins

4. Jon Runyan

5. Troy Vincent

 

Foles is just a special outlier.

Brooks/Runyan and Vincent/Jenkins are each pretty comparable in terms of talent and impact. Books and Jenkins get the nod for being core pieces to our only Super Bowl team.

He was a major injury risk with a high reward if he stayed healthy..

Evan Mathis was a heckuva pickup too.  Probably bump Watters off on a list I’d make.

1 year contract made sense for him at the time. He had injury issues from that year among other things. 
Probably best not to use Walterfootball as reference. But I did find other sites that had him lower. I just remembered NFL had him as #1

For me these are the right 5, but not necessarily in that order.

Vincent was really good for the Eagles for a long period of time. Runyan brought a nastiness and consistency to the team. He didn’t get the pro-bowl recognition because other teams and their fans hated him, but he was really good.

Jenkins and Brooks didn’t have quite as long/good spells with the Eagles, but they were both integral to the Super Bowl, so I can understand why you have them ahead.

Andrews,  Harris and Jackson cost us about 8 million bucks a game.

I too was thinking about the worst FA signings.  Demarco Murray has to make the top 5.
