Why you ask? Because we are literally one of the best perennial teams in the entire league and rarely faulter into terribleness and if we do it is usually for one year only.1.10 They drafted DeVonta Smith WR2.37 They added Landon ****erson OLGB1.29 Eric Stokes...who many are choosing to forget looked like a star of the future as a rookie...sadly out of anyone's control injuries stalled him and likely stole being a starter in the league it seems as he's never quite returned to the form he ended that rookie campaign.2.62 Josh Myers...not a **** pick for sure but is a very much PHI type pick as they did something similar in 2022 drafting Cam Jurgens in the second round who quietly has been solid for them, not amazing but solid (step above arguably Myers IMO).2022, Philly again drafted higher than GB at 13th overall in the first...again something folks fail to remember.1.13 Jordan Davis...this was the first time we watched a potential character issue guy fall to Philly as many of the top 10 teams drafted elsewhere (massive WR run this year helped PHI too). Davis has been SOLID.2.51 Cam Jurgens....as touched on above, not a **** pick and yet is how you build your trenches.GB1.22 - Quay Walker who everyone knows I've been a massive critic of. At the time of the draft everyone recognized his massive athletic profile and figured top 40/45 type guy who could go in the first but might not. He's bottomline been a day in and day out starter which is no small feat...he merely suffers from being a first rounder (despite not even being a top 20 guy)...if he was a second rounder I think massive majority of fanbase embraces and celebrates his pick.1.28 - Devonte Wyatt...again unaminous first round talent from nearly anyone you talked to and many didn't think would make it to us. He a lot like Quay is starting to come into his own now years later but again if he was a second rounder some would praise it.2.34 - Christian Watson....Only Doubs and Drake London have produced more touchdowns than him, his 16.86 yards per catch is only exceeded by Alec Pierce in the draft class at 17.55. THE ONLY thing folks can say that makes Watson not a homerun pick is availability - you cannot predict injuries, an unfortunate truth.2023, Philly AGAIN picked ahead of the Packers at 9th overall on Day 11.9 - Jalen Carter, second time a "character discussed guy to some 'fell' " he is a BEAST1.30 - Nolan Smith edge - Nolan Smith showed everyone when allowed to just rush and not worry about run defense he is a speed demon.GB1.13 - Lukas Van Ness...consensus first round prospect but HAS NOT illustrated he is going to become the guy many felt he would - despite being a very young prospect.2.42 - Luke Musgrave....hit ground running rookie year and was pretty solid when able to be out there...injury issues of course unforeseen is an issue with him. However, most realize the weapon he is and can be.2.50 - Jayden Reed...stalled a little end of 2024 but he has been a dynamite pick.2024, Philly again picked ahead of the Packers.1.22 - Quinyon Mitchell CB - one of my favorite prospects of that season.2.40 - Traded up to get DeJean DB which just one year done but looks amazing.GB1.25 - Jordan Morgan OL...there is no telling but against PHI in the playoffs having Morgan not injured may very well have saved that game or made it even closer than it already was. Injuries simply cannot be predicted and sadly Gute in small or large ways has had injury bug bite three straight seasons in a first or second rounder.2.45 - Edgerrin Cooper...injury bug and than slow progress into an electric player for sure.2.58 - Javon Bullard....proved he is our best tackling slot guy pushed up towards box, absolute starter in the league.Overall just in first two rounds here is the two lists:PHI - DeVonta Smith, Landon ****erson, Jordan Davis, Cam Jurgens, Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, Quinyon Mitchell and DeJean. Philly has "hit" on their top picks at a rate and more importantly a level of which I don't recall ANY team doing in a four year stretch. Add in the fact this is following the 2020 draft where they had Hurts fall to them in the second (rest of the draft class hasn't given much at all really).GB has "hit" on a lot of NFL worthy starters but not any gamechangers outside of arguably Watson when healthy, Reed and Edgerrin so far.</blockquote>
