Dear Philadelphia Eagles fans: Metcalf wouldn’t have worked here either

Something must be addressed before any of us go any further. There’s a theory floating around the Philadelphia Eagles fanbase that ‘The Birds’ again made the wrong move in the draft. You see, in the most recent selection meeting, Philly had two picks in the second round.

One they seemed to nail. The jury is still out on the other.

After adding a bonafide star in Miles Sanders at pick 53, Philadelphia had another decision to make as they were again on the clock just four picks later at 57. The theory was, after taking Andre Dillard in the first round and addressing the running back position with their first pick of the second, the Eagles were certain to take a wide receiver four slots later.
