One player does not an entire program make.
Plenty of generational draftees turn out to be decent players. We’ll be fine.
The real problem is that if the Eagles were inclined to not select Reid, that pick had an enormous amount of value and they could have turned it into probably three early picks and possibly a good young player or two. The drop off in value from 1 to 2 this year is quite large, certainly large enough that winning today is a big-time negative for the club.
