The draft is a joke? Well, it may be somewhat of a crapshoot, but that's the nature of the beast. There are only so many teams and so many roster spots, so statistically speaking, most players will not find long-term success in the NFL. Not every player is going to work out, but if a team knows what they are doing, they can achieve sustained success by drafting well. In fact, drafting well is really the only way of winning consistently, and there are teams out there that are able to do it--the Eagles being one of them. You say that the Eagles would have been better served by obtaining proven talent they can plug-in immediately. Well, that's what the Redskins attempt to do year in and year out and what has that gotten them? Stockpiling draft picks and having the ability to evaluate talent is a proven recipe for success.

The Eagles will be lucky to be 8-8 next season..
