I did. I looked at the Eagles. Not that impressive.

Everyone has this impression that every other team hits on every pick.


Not true. At all.

You only looked at the 1st round. Drafts aren't won in the first round.
Drafts are won when you get the following Pro Bowlers AFTER THE FIRST ROUND
Brian Westbrook (91st pick)
DeSean Jackson (49th pick)
Trent Cole (146th pick)
Derrick Burgess (63rd pick)
LeSean McCoy (53rd pick)
Michael Lewis (58th pick)

That's drafting well. Missing on 1st rounders isn't good but the keys to being a great drafting team are
-Nailing QB picks
-Finding gems in late rounds

and that's not including guys like Brent Celek (162th pick), Sheldon Brown (59th pick), Raheem Brock (238th pick), and Todd Herremans (126th who started at LG for 100 games for Philly) that didn't make a pro bowl but were still great late round finds

So 8 pro-bowlers with McNabb and no HOF in 14 drafts is great drafting. No McNabb is not a HOF QB. I guess I have a higher standard.

It's not great, but it's not as terrible as you're making it out to be either.

Look at Bill Belichek's draft record and tell me his looks much better.
