And all this is why I HATE trading away two of your best young players. You win by building a team of better players. When you have them, keep them. Every draft pick--even number one quarterbacks--is a crap shoot. If you have proven stars, keep them!
The idea of Tanking and then drafting your way to instant success is ludicrous TBD.

No one outside of TBD can figure this one out, VD has been aweful in game action ?????
Okay, same article . . . Sure looks like he went from 1 to 3 to me
ACTUAL 2016 EAGLES WIDE RECEIVER DEPTH CHART1 - Jordan Matthews

No, he wasn't. He was going down the Philly depth chart. He was expendable because they added better players--something our new front office doesn't understand.
The fact that the Philadelphia Eagles have some actual NFL wide receivers now is just so ... refreshing ... after watching a painfully disastrous wide receiving corps each and every week last year.
Now that the Eagles officially have both Alshon Jeffery (story here) and Torrey Smith (story here) in the fold, let’s take a look at Philadelphia’s 2017 depth chart at wide receiver.

This, which is what makes the "theory" behind trading two of your best young players for draft picks even more maddening - draft picks in general, especially 2nd round and beyond, are a hope, not a reality. And hope is the cruelest of virtues.
