The correct answer for worst draft pick is Jerome McDougle. 15th overall, 0 career starts, 3 career sacks. If Brandon Graham never sees the field again, then he'll be right there as well.— sa_eagles- The correct answer for worst draft pick is Jerome McDougle. 15th overall, 0 career starts, 3 career sacks.

- Freddie Mitchell because Reggie Wayne and Chad Johnson were taken very closely after him. McDougle and Graham were seen as good picks and would have been selected very quickly if not taken by the Eagles. FredEx would have been a 2nd rounder at best.— regassert6
- Forget the draft!! The worst was hiring Marty Mornhinweg!! The best of course, is Jimmy Johnson. RIP, We miss you!— Geno D
- I hope Brandon Graham comes back strong. We'll see at training camp how his conditioning program is going - the kids got talent.
My worst draft pick was "LA" Freddie Mitchell, he was a total waste! Best pick has got to be B. Westbrook - the man put fear in the minds of the other team. And he did it all.— Laughingaloud123 - Jerome McDougal can't be the worst pick because it is silly to think the Eagles would know he was going to get shot.
Freddie Mitchell was widely considered a mid 2nd round pick. I dk where rega got that Graham was seen as a good pick becasue no Mock draft had him going earlier than the 23(one) and the rest had him as a 2nd rounder.— UncleStosh - The worst decision was not bringing a real talent evaluator to run the drafting process ( like the Packers and Giants did )— farley
- amen. — coloradoeagle
- Jerome Mcdougle was bad BEFORE he ever got shot. he did NOTHING before AND after. that was definetely one of the worst picks. but really thier analysis was terrible. Bunkley is a decent player, a much worse pick was a 2nd rounder on Matt McCoy an undersized linebacker from San Diego State or something who Sal Palantonio said "Was not even a special teamer" when the guy was still on the roster, and that he "should not even be in the NFL", and they used a SECOND ROUND PICK ON THAT GUY. ON A GUY THAT WASNT EVEN A GOOD SPECIAL TEAMER. HE WAS TERRIBLE. uh they left out about 15 other horrible picks all worse then anything they mentioned. Daneil Teo Nehsiem in the 4rd round, Quinten Demps, Macho Harris, Some DE in the 2nd round Bryan Smith ??? I CANT EVEN REMEMBER WHO HE IS HE WAS SO BAD...Andy Reid has been a moron talent selector for years who occasionaly gets lucky, at about the same rate as other teams, maybe even slightly worse, especially on the defensive side. He is a mediocre drafter and has been for years. AND ITS GOTTEN WORSE EACH YEAR.— CharlieGarner25
- Andy scored on LeSean McCoy and Westbrook. He has failed on EVERY defensive draft choice ever except for Trent Cole. And I mean it. EVERY single defensive draft choice. What Pro Bowl defensive players has he drafted?— king_of_lincolnfield
- put another way, which of these defensive players selected by Andy and the Accountants would make the roster of any NFL franchise that new anything about talent evaluation? — coloradoeagle
- McDougle was the worst, the Fireman is second...Danny, Danny, put it out!— BirdinParadise
- The best play FredEx ever made was introducing Chase Utley to his wife.— socfiend
- hard to pick just one. how about any defensive player taken by Mrs. Roseman's little boy, Howie?— coloradoeagle
- Why do they keep talking about Shawn Andrews as a Bad or Worst Andy Reid pick??? Andrews should have been drafted in the 1st round exactly where he was. He wasn't a reach pick, or a "find" deep in the later rounds. He played for 6 years, 3 of which he was injured for various reasons. 1st year broke his fibula (season), 3rd year Back injury (season), 4th year depression and back injury (season). The other 3 he was all-pro and voted into the Pro Bowl. Andrews would have been the most dominant G in the league if not for his bouts with depression and back problems. He is one of Andy's best picks. Hate him all you want. He was the Jason Peters of RG's. Add to the the fact that he and Peters were on the same team at Arkansas.— SeenGreen
