SkippyX Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I am thrilled that the Eagles got a stud young WR in last year's draft. I don't care the he was the Lions 6th round pick. I think the last time they had a player like that was Maclin and DJ back to back in 08-09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was on the roster for like a couple weeks... it wasn't long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the 2001 draft and sort by receiving yards or TDs then look at where the guys were picked. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2001/draft.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else was a pretty high draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you might say "Ha Ha! Chris Chambers was a 2nd rounder!" I would counter with "He was better than 6 of the WRs drafted before him, 4 of which were busts" Steve Smith was the 11th WR taken Chad Johnson was the 8th Chris Chambers was the 10th Reggie Wayne was 6th TJ was 27th Even Cedric Wilson as the 24th WR outperformed 13 guys ahead of him. David Terrell was 1st Koren Robinson was 2nd Rod Gardner was 3rd Santana Moss was the first decent player as the 4th WR picked Freddie Mitchell was 5th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
