Eagles had a stretch of 2-3 years where their picks post SB didn’t make it. Dillard at LT, Reagor, JJAW etc.was he another howie "flop"
i saw that jj arrencbia whiteside was cut from seattle after being dealt there from philly...so howie drafted JJAW, Smith, Reagor?, Greg Ward, and only Smith panned out lmao
Happens to a bunch of players. I mean all of those WR before Metcalf like Campbell, Isabella, JJAW, etc heard about that.Reagor was not only a flop, he was taken ahead of Jefferson, and let me tell you, that guy never stopped hearing about it and never had a chance because of it. Now they’re teammates.
Different situation when it is round 3 guys and later.This move was definitely a combination of "We have literally no one who can return punts" + "We think we can fix him."
I'm not too upset about a 4th/5th and 7th. Worth the gamble. And especially seeing as they just cut almost a whole draft class less than a year later lol (different regime I know).

You hope that guys in round 3 can play sub packages for you at the very least over their rookie deals. Ideally you get a starter every other year or so.
Was it 2021 where Minny finished the draft having made like 14 selections?
That’s 48 guys in those 4 years that would be on a rookie deal. Baseline is 28 if you just have your own pick. So obviously guys will get cut.That was 2020 and they had 15. 11 in 2021. 12 in 2019.
I think they've had at least 10 every year since Spielman got the GM title in 2012. Spielman loved quantity over quality he'd rather have a bunch of 6ths and 7ths than fight for UDFAs. But all these guys can't make your team, so it's kinda dumb.
And then Kwesi had another 10 this year (9 made the 53).
With a regime change everyone is subject to get cut even veterans if they don’t fit the scheme.There’s such a nominal difference between the last 3 rounds of the draft and UDFA. After 2 training camps though you should still have anyone you drafted in the first 4 rounds.
Right, so when they get cut, that means the last group sucked.With a regime change everyone is subject to get cut even veterans if they don’t fit the scheme.

PS, the rookie contract guys can choose which club to join. Maybe better options to potentially get a promotion to the 53 man roster with another team. Again with the regime change there is no more loyalty or desire to promote you than any other team. So find the team that runs the best scheme for your skill set.Even if they're not a fit guys selected in the 3rd or 4th the year before should probably have some value around the league even if you only get a 7th back.
A veteran like Armon Watts, who maybe is slightly more than a JAG? Sure, doesn't fit the scheme, cut em.
Kellen Mond? Chazz Surratt? Wyatt Davis? If they have any talent, then you scheme around said talent, or at least get something for them in a trade. Surratt went unclaimed and signed with Jets PS (Not sure if he chose that or they just didn't want him back).
Plenty of other Spielman/Zimmer picks/signings at the end of the roster made the team or at least the PS. For example 6th RD G in 2020, Kyle Hinton, is on the PS for a 3rd straight year. 3rd RD G in 2021 Wyatt Davis isn't.
The guys they cut were just busts.
