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

Hindsight, but the Packers should've kept him. I think he was on the roster for like a couple weeks... it wasn't long.

Its crazy how much of a crapshoot drafting a WR can be.

Look at the 2001 draft and sort by receiving yards or TDs then look at where the guys were picked.

Really the only outlier in the top 10-15 players listed there is TJ Housh. Everyone else was a pretty high draft pick.

Wow, you might need to take a closer look at the list.

The concept is that this is a list of players and they were drafted completely out of order.

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
