Only 15 days left until the eve of Draftsgiving Day, the most wonderful holiday in all of late April. As it gets closer we'll talk move about the proper way to celebrate the NFL Draft and what the plans are at the Fort, but to get you in the right frame of mind I've got 15 posts over the next 15 days recapping the last 15 years of Iggles drafts.
So, without further ado....
Top 10 names from Eagles past 15 drafts
10 -- Ephesians Bartley, LB, 1992 Round 9
** As far as I can tell, he’s the only LB ever drafted who was named after a New Testament book. As for the Old Testament, we all remember LB Deuteronomy Jones of the 1938 team…
9 -- Howard Smothers, OT, 1995 Round 7
** A tackle named Smothers? How did this guy fail?
8 -- Scott Kowalkowski, LB, 1991 Round 8
7 -- Doug Brzezinski, OG, 1999 Round 3
** Gotta get a few of the Poles in here. What's worse, a pair of Ws and three Ks or two Zs?
6 -- Ndukwe Kalu, DE, 1997 Round 5
** Better known as N-D, because none of us have bothered to find out how his name is really pronounced.
5 -- Joey Mickey, TE, 1993 Round 7
** Gave up football in 1995 to rejoin the mafia.
4 -- A.J. Feeley, QB, 2001 Round 5
** He's a headcase too, which makes him Touchy Feeley. Ba da bum.
3 -- Siran Stacy, RB, 1992 Round 2
** One of the worst names and worst players ever picked up by the Birds. That’s an enviable record pair.
2 -- Pumpy Tudors, P, 1992 Round 11
** I’m so depressed this guy never played a down for the Eagles. Can’t you hear the “punt it, Pumpy” chant going up among the faithful?
And the number one name in Eagles draft history….
1 -- Brian Dawkins, FS, 1996 Round 2
** Why? Because it’s Brian freakin’ Dawkins. That’s why.

I <3 Dawkins.
Draftgivings Day is pretty cool too. I've never been to a Draftgivings Day party, but watching the Draft, playing video games, and drinking beer sounds like a great idea.
Dude, you are coming, right? We've already set up a beer bong for you. It'll be nice and warm by the time you get here.
Dude...must come to Draftsgiving...must consume mass quantities of food and beverage of the alcoholic persuasion...but Captain Awesome already denied my request to sit in the bushes and light up cars with paint ball.
Beer Pong anyone?
Dingus -- good call with the beer pong. But we only needed to hear it once, Mr. double poster.
DOH!!!! Damn you back space!!!!
BY the way, just a note...the correct pronunciation of ND Kalu is (say it as its written) en-doo-quay. And you said I never studied...
