Draft factoids post #4

Yesterday we had the best offensive draft picks by the Eagles over the last 15 years, so today we'll look at the good sheet: Defense.

CB -- Bobby Taylor, 1995 Round 2
** Nine years with the Eagles, 119 games played, 19 interceptions and several great moments of shutting down Michael Irvin.

DE -- Ndukwe Kalu, 1997 Round 5
** When he’s healthy, he’s real fast: 18.5 sacks in the four years he’s been healthy.

DT -- Andy Harmon, 1991 Round 6
** In seven years he snagged 39.5 sacks, and delighted us all the year he broke his hand and used his cast as a club to beat QBs. No, I’m not making that up.

LB -- Willie Thomas, 1991 Round 4
** With all due respect to Jeramiah Trotter, Willie T. was nasty from the outside for nine years for the Eagles. His Philly resume: 33 sacks, 18 interceptions, and three TDs.

P -- Mitch Berger, 1994 Round 6
** A pro-bowl punter … for the Vikings. He only kicked in six games for the Eagles. But, he manages to squeak out top billing over the only other punter drafted, Pumpy Tudors.

DB -- Brian Dawkins, 1996 Round 2
** Do we need to cover this? Something you might not know about this future Hall of Famer: He’s the only player ever to have a sack, an interception, a fumble recovery and a TD reception in the same game. Oh yeah. Read that again.
