The story of how the Eagles made their 3 worst draft picks ever back-to-back-to-back

The Philadelphia Eagles have gone through multiple extended periods of ineptitude in their franchise history, with one of the more recently painful ones being the latter half of the 1980s. Perhaps the main reason Philly was in the dumps was their inability to hit on high draft picks.

In the span of three consecutive NFL Drafts between 1983 and 1985, the Eagles were gift-wrapped the eighth, fourth, and ninth overall picks, respectively. Philadelphia not only failed to land any stars with those picks, but all three of those names managed to bust.

Eagles fans can look at any one of these three players picked between 1983 and 1985 and argue that they are the worst draft pick in franchise history.
