INTERESTING draft fact about the SB champion Eagles

Recommended Posts

The Eagles have only had on draft choice so far, but the tidbit from he link below knocked me for a loop.

What’s next: The Eagles know the value of what lies ahead. VP of player personnel Joe Douglas points out 18 of the starters in Super Bowl LII were taken in the fourth round or after. The champs will have plenty of opportunities to mine for Day 3 difference-makers with two fourth-round picks (Nos. 125 and 130 overall), as well as selections in the sixth (No. 206 overall) and seventh (No. 250 overall) rounds.

All I can say is wow. The Eagles must have one heck of scouting department. Can you guys imagine Hurney and the Panther Front officebuilding a championship roster In a similar manner?  I’m starting to have doubts about him finding another stater in this year’s draft after the 1st round.

Based on his first stint as GM, Hurney proved that you can’t build a perennial contender on 1st round choices alone. The Pats have gone to the SB in years when they didn’t even have a pick in the first round. You’ve got to find gems in the later rounds if you plan to consistently compete for the Super Bowl and Marty has yet to prove that he can do that.

13 of 22 offense/defense starters were 1st or 2nd round picks. 5 starters in rounds 4-7. Special teams is another story.

this just for the eagles

 

patriots had 7 starters on offense/ defense forms rounds 4-7. 

 

4 special team starters plus slot wrs and you have your 18 players from both teams combined.

Thank You for taking the time to research that. Your information provides a better perspective. I thought that number (18) seemed a little high, but it’s makes more sense if you’re considering the 4-7 rounders who started from BOTH of last years SB participants. The ESPN didn’t specifically say that.

Thanks again. :)

    • The difference is that Sanders has the work ethic and does work. Johnny didn't. Bad comp.
    • I explained that I was old school and I realize that others have a different opinion.  Being Deion's son is a bit different.   It suggests that his focus is on the money and not football--It is not just the diamonds--it is the dollar sign on the shirt.  Telling a reporter from the Raiders "I ain't going sixth."  Asking another reporter, "Do you know who my dad is?"  When asked what sets him apart from the others, he said that he is mentally more prepared.  Meanwhile, Dad as recently as March Deion, implied he would advise Shedeur to avoid certain franchises--later to retract that position during an interview with Skip Bayless.  You can't take the fact that he is probably a late first, early second round talent and ignore the fact that his comments, jewelry, $ on his shirts and uniform towels might suggest a feeling of entitlement, a person focused on the return more than the opportunity. As I said very clearly--this is my opinion about one person who was raised as a great player's son and how it might rub some the wrong way.  It comes off as entitled.  Fine if he lives up to it, but to me, it suggests that his mind might not be in the right place.  Perhaps he should be focused on humility, his work ethic, and how he is going to earn it--instead, this comes off as someone who thinks this is his reward.  I am sure that others feel the same way, but if I am the GM, I do not want the circus.  Remember Johnny?  I commented at the time that his money gesture would backfire.  It tells me that his mind was not in the right place.  Same thing.
