4) Jeremy Maclin, WR Missouri (19th overall in ’09)

After four solid if not spectacular seasons followed by another lost to injury, Maclin took over as the main receiving option following Desean Jackson’s departure in 2014 and did not disappoint, setting career bests in receptions, yards, yards per catch and touchdowns en route to his first Pro Bowl appearance.

Unfortunately for Philly fans, that also helped buy his ticket out. Maclin, the lone exception here of a top pick that has had post-Eagles success, followed his former coach Andy Reid to Kansas City, where he had a second consecutive 1,000 yard campaign and set a new high mark of 87 catches.
