Ranking Eagles 2018 NFL Draft picks {including a 7th round steal}

Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata

Sometimes, as much as we pick on P Diddy as being a guy that we may not have ever truly cared about had he not had The Notorious B.I.G. on his Bad Boy roster, some things he’s done make us feel like he’s a genius.

Remember Total and how bad they sounded? Come on. You know they couldn’t sing, yet Diddy got a lot out of them, one platinum album and a gold follow-up to be exact.

That one’s still a head-scratcher as is the fact that, in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Birds took a flier on a rugby star via the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program and turned him into a starting left tackle. Less than four years later, before Philadelphia played a down of football during the 2021 NFL season, the Eagles inked Jordan Mailata to a four-year, $64 million contract including $40.8 million guaranteed.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is officially Howie Roseman and the Eagles organization’s ‘P Diddy moment’. It’s amazing how good this guy has become, and here’s what’s encouraging for the Eagles (and horrifying for everyone else).

Jordan Mailata hasn’t even scratched the surface of how good he can wind up being. He’s still figuring things out.
