Anyway, let's go ahead and look at the history of the 21st overall pick and the rest of the Eagles' known draft slots, going back, oh, 10 years, I guess. There are more misses than hits.

Ranking the Eagles' 2020 offseason needs from most glaring to most stable

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles have suffered an inordinate number of injuries over the last three seasons, and yet still managed to win a Super Bowl (2017), make an "elite 8' appearance (2018), and win the NFC East (2019).
