Harry Potter and the Top Ten Best Draft Picks under Reid

  • 1
    Brian Westbrook

    one of best runingbacks in recent years, a huge part of the reid era, and drafted in third round

  • 2
    Trent Cole

    great pass rusher, steal in 5th round

  • 3
    Stewart Bradley

    3rd round pick, looks like he will be one of the best linebackers in the next 10 years

  • 4
    Sheldon Brown

    really good corner, and i still love the reggie brown hit

  • 5
    Donovan Mcnabb

    look at the alternatives

  • 6
    Mike Patterson

    has looked really good of late, and that was one of the worst first rounds in nfl history

  • 7
    Correll Buckhalter

    contributed alot, especially for a 4th round pick

  • 8
    Desean Jackson

    looks like the next steve smith

  • 9
    Brent Celek

    great receiving tight end from the 5th round, only if he could block

  • 10
    Todd Herremans

    good tackle guard, from 4th round

    McNabb #1. we could have easliy ended up with Couch, Smith, Culpperper(although that wouldn't be THAT bad), and McNown. the rest is a really good list Potter
  • I think you meant the Reggie Bush hit but I think DJackson will be higher because everyone said he was way to small and would never make it in the NFL and plus he's only gonna get better!

      i agree about desean, and yeah i meant bush
  • Another bad list. Lito sheppard, shawn andrews Michael Lewis Corey Simon and Derrick Burgess all made the probowl before and none of them made the top ten list. What about the Raheem Brock in the 7th round that Doesn't make the list.

      YOU SUCK! i tried to not use too many high draft picks, michael lewis and corey simon didnt last here too long, burgess was a good pick but only had one good year with us, and raheem brock didnt play a down for us
      • Corey Simon was here 5 years. Michael lewis was here 5 years you got guys on your list who have been here one season.

          it ended ugly, and they were early picks, hard to call them "successes"
  • HakeemNicks
    Why is McNabb not #1? Let us not kid ourself, it is too early to start coining DeSean the next Steve Smith. Give him some time

      because he was the #2 pick overall, westbrook was a third round pick and has been the cornerstone of our offense the last few years

    Shawn Andrews is top 3

      i love shawn, but the fact they traded a first and 2nd to trade up for him makes him somebody that better be good, not a great pick
  • Bigwhit
    Potter, it hurts me to say this but, good list.
    • Why are you now sucking up to potter. Everybody on his list was on the team last season. He had some obvious omissions on both his list that he either forgot about or didn't know, and instead of admitting it he tries to justify it. He says probowlers aren't sucesses to support his argument that's ludicris.

        michael lewis had one good year and then they benched him, corey simon was overrated too, stfu
        • Michael lewis was good in 03, 04,05 young boy. you must have been watching Blue's clues. Your knowledge falls short of your opinion. Corey Simon had 9.5 sacks as a rookie was a pro bowler in 03.
  • They were Early picks? Donovan was the second pick in the whole draft...

      i know, but they could have made the mistake of taking akili smith, ricky williams, or cade mcnown, there is something to be said for making the right call when all of philly is calling you out on it
  • MidniteGreen
    Good list Potter. I understand the fact that you were talking about draft picks according to VALUE. Also, McNabb was the best choice of all the QBs that went that year, so that would be considered great VALUE.

    mcnabb should be number 1 and shawn andrews should be on it.
  • HarryPotter
    Placard_complete_small
    like i said, i do like the andrews pick, but to trade up for him makes it something they better get right
