When is the last time we struck gold on a day 3 pick?

[Uscg-green]

Jason Kelce? I could say Mills was a good pick but not a hidden gold mine. I feel like I'm missing one. Was just pondering because I like our day 3 picks this year. Who is your favorite round 4 and after player ever.

[20dawk4life]

Beau Allen was good. Jordan Poyer has been real good for the bills not so much for us. Maddox and Sweat could be good player for us but it’s too early to tell.

That's the one I liked and forgot. Beau Allen! Thank you. Is he still playing somewhere? At least he got a ring with us.

 

Edit: I looked. He works for Bellecheat. Ug.

I'd still like to see Mailata turn into a gem. 

[Uscg-green]

Kelce has to be our best one ever. Hes got a real shot at the HOF.

Definitely yes. 

[DeathByEagle]

I was their best day 3 pick. At least I felt that way. They didn't think so though, dam ****. 

[FastFreddie]

Only other ones worth a damn in recent memory:

Nate Gerry (at least he’s still on the team?)

Jalen Mills 

Beau Allen

Dennis Kelly (been starting for the Titans forever)

Dion Lewis (also better for other teams)

Kurt Coleman (somehow still around)

Brent Celek

Todd Herremans

Trent Cole

Raheem Brock (was actually good with the Colts, IIRC)

Correll Buckhalter

AJ Feeley

John Welbourn

Ike Reese

Koy Detmer

Na Brown!

 

I’m done

Those two are very high on my list of favorite all time eagles.

Them and Kelce all from... University of Cincinnati. What are the odds of *that*?!?

[MediterraneanDiet]

Depends how far you want to go back but I'll offer these 3:

1. Wilbert Montgomery 

2. Carl Hairston

3. William Thomas 

 

[FastFreddie]

Ok we’ll keep going:

Mark McMillian

Calvin Williams

Seth Joyner

Clyde Simmons

 

[The Holy Vagabond]

Without Vitai (5th round), there’s no parade. 

[UK_EaglesFan89]

Vaitai is a good one. I would say Mills is too... Mills was a 7th rounder, has forged a pretty good career here some how (despite his limitations) and was a starting corner in the SB success.

Over the past 20 years my favorite picks round 4 and later are Kelce, Cole, Celek, and Herremans.  

We have had quite a few guys that were solid contributors like Big V, Buckhalter, Avant, Coleman, Boykin, etc. but they weren't at the same level at the four mentioned above.

Trent Cole was ridiculously good in his prime years. From 07-11 he had 55 sacks which was an average of 11 per season. Only Reggie white and Clyde Simmons have averaged 11 or more sacks in a five year window with the eagles (Clyde Simmons and white had some ridiculous years)

Cole is easily the most underrated Eagle of all time.

He’s definitely up there. I’d put Clyde Simmons up there as well. He’s third in eagles history in sacks with 76. Im guessing a Lot of eagles fans wouldn’t know that. And he had a 19 sack season in 92

I feel like Simmons is always brought up as an all time favorite.

I feel like older generations who grew up during that era and got to watch him play do. Feel like fans after that time period really aren’t as in touch with Simmons. They know white and Jerome brown (and even Joyner cause he does broadcasting) but Simmons Is really the forgotten one in the younger generation that started watching around or after lurie took over.

Probably right.

when I try to explain the ridiculousness of that defense younger generations don’t fully grasp it like we did when we watched It happen in front of our eyes. The closest defense in the last 20 years we’ve had to that was the 2001 team that gave up over 21 points just once in 19 games (and it just happened to be in the nfc title game against the Rams). Even that defense wasn’t close to those ones. younger generations know of the stories Cause we pass it down to them but it was completely different watching it live and in person.

Last year, in the 6th round, I dug deep...and picked a real keeper out of my nose. It was gold, I tell ya...

Simmons was really quiet.  I don't remember him giving interviews.  Brown & White got all the press.  Also he was a big guy.  Wasn't flashy or explosive around the edge.  He just physically dominated his man

Calvin Williams was way under rated.  He was a 5th round pick and the 3rd WR we took in that draft.  Wasn't super fast or quick and ended up catching something like 32 TD passes.  Finished his career with his hometown Ravens while I was living in Baltimore.  Had a great career.
