Grades for every cornerback Philadelphia Eagles have drafted since 2010

This one points out a few things about the Eagles franchise and some of the coaches that they have employed because, despite the fact that Philadelphia got nothing out of Jordan Poyer, he’s still enjoying a successful career in the NFL albeit with the AFC East’s Buffalo Bills.

Sure, the argument can be made that he also failed as a member of the Cleveland Browns and it took him five seasons to reach his potential, but come on. He’s a former seventh-round selection, and some guys are late bloomers. That’s also why these teams have coaches. Sometimes, a player’s failure is their own fault. Sometimes, it’s bad coaching.
