How can anyone argue that Brandon Graham was the worst pick (at least recently). The Seahawks took Earl Thomas, a safety who we could have used 3 or 4 picks later, but even worse, the Giants took Pierre-Paul with the next pick!?!? Andy must go!— el nino- Whatever you do, KEEP THIS MAN"S HANDS OFF ANY DEFENSIVE CHOICES.— kenkap
- Its really funny in hind sight how we can look back and analyze bad picks. Andrews was a great pick wen he had his head on straight. yeah graham been injured plus he plays behind cole so of course no real playing time. Mitchell was a huge stud in college so it wasnt the pick that was bad it was simply mitchell was bad lol. AT usc he was stellar.And yes bunkley is decent if not spectacular. YOu think other teams dont make bad picks. they do we just dont hear about it as much.— Lambo1
- When you compare Earl Thomas stats with the Seahawks, and Nate Allen stats, Thomas has 174 Tackles, 14 Pass defended, and 7 interceptions. over two years. Allen has 107 Tackles, 15 Pass defended and 5 interceptions over two years.
Ed Reed of Baltimore in comparison has 89 Tackles, 24 pass defended, and 11 interceptions over the same period.
— Dexter - Allen looks a lot worse than he actually contributes.— Dexter

- This guy Bob Ford is an idiot... How could you list Shawn Andrews among the worst picks when he was an All-Pro in his second year. He was the best guard in football and would've been the best RT for 10 years if he didn't go through the depression and back injuries.
And FredEx... c'mon? The People's Champ!! If he doesn't make the 4th and 27 catch we never go to the bowl. And we never get the line "I'd like to thank my hands... for being so great." EPIC
How do you even mention Brandon Graham?? The guy was what 8 games into his rookie season and had a severe knee injury and is still coming back. Sure Pierre-Paul exploded but nobody could have predicted that... who's to say if Graham was healthy he's not getting all the "wide nine sacks" that Babin got?? Does everyone remember Babin the first time he was here?????
Ford... you're a hack— BuddyBall92 - Five years ago as I looked around the stadium at the jerseys the fans were wearing, it was obvious that number 5 was the favorite. Yes, we all could have done it better than Donovan, but he was and still is one of the most respected and loved QB Philly has seen in a long time. Remember, Andy called the plays and guys like Pinkston, Thrash and yes Freddy Mitchell were the guys who were supposed to get separation. Ever wonder why Westbrook was thrown to so often>— fums6
