The Philadelphia Eagles are doing it wrong.

Oh come on...... everyone knows that you have to first strip the organization down to 30 UDFAs, 20 draft picks and 3 hold over vets. Then you have to chase, and then set an NFL record for futility over your first two seasons.
Then after your 3rd draft and off season, you can go 5-11 which will set you up nicely for a 4th year 7-9 record..... all culminating in a 5th year 8-8 glory season for the ages.
^ Now that's how you do a Process.

How'd they come up with the 14 or so other starters not mentioned in the article????????
Oh... that's right they were there already... silly me... they only spent two years adding pieces to complete a pretty damn close to made team. Some of whom are in their last gig.

Well they did finish dead last in the NFC East with that abysmal 7-9 record the previous year.
I WISH we could have a 7-9 season.

The Eagles are not that good. Wentz is a bum. The only decent team they've played this year they lost to. They beat the shitty Redskins twice and Chargers and the Broncows. Oh! The Giants and the 49ers! Damn, they're world beaters! LOL they suck.

I'd love to suck my way to 8-1. Shit..that would be horrible. Best record in the NFL....jesus...why the hell would anyone want that. Can you imagine how good they would be if they had a stiff like Jeff Hogan playing QB and not that shitty Wentz dude?

Not comparable situations in any way.
Iggles had multiple PB-level or actual PB players at every level.. and went 7-9. Browns have... a total of 1. Or, as of this week, 0.
Until Browns have multiple PB players year-in and year-out, getting a championship-level team will take more than just a couple trades.
It sure doesn't hurt that Alshon Jeffrey is slightly better than Kenny Britt.

Interesting cause I see the eagles had 4 Pro bowlers and the Browns had 3.

The year before the Browns had 4 Pro Bowlers

I look at the rosters and they had half their offense in place in 2015, prior to drafting Wentz. They also used FA a lot, which - again - Haslam has repeatedly indicated he does not want to do... rather build through draft.
Also looks like their defensive roster is predominantly guys they drafted. Their drafts for the last 5 years were mostly defensive players with the exception of 2016.
So yeah, the model of building/drafting defense first, other offensive pieces next and only then going after the QB has been proven once more by the Eagles.
As for the Browns, it's pretty clear that a big deficiency lies in the people evaluating the draft talent. They've been horrible at it for almost 2 decades. Doesn't matter if it's 'football' people or the current method of relying on analytics and all that Combine data.
Since they can't evaluate draft talent and they have some salary cap space, why not buy a QB instead of relying on this ineffective set of scouts to draft one. Maybe they could do this while they overhaul their scouting and player personnel system.
