INTERESTING draft fact about the SB champion Eagles

[SCO96]

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.

All I know is they drafted a stellar TE when they already had franchise one that won them the SB.

Difference between loser and winners fug you Hurney.

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.

It's ok Ace Hurney will draft a big fat WR to convert to TE.

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.
