8. Brian Dawkins, S, 1996
2nd round, 61st overall
A future Hall of Famer, B-Dawk appeared in seven Pro Bowls in his 13-year career as an Eagle and is one of the most beloved Birds of all time. The Eagles had two picks in that 1996 second round. Jason Dunn (54th overall) was the other.
7. Tommy McDonald, B, 1957
3rd round, 31st overall
Played seven seasons for the Eagles and caught 13 touchdowns in 1960, the last time the Birds won the NFL title. When McDonald retired in 1968, he was sixth all-time in receptions, fourth in receiving yards and second in TDs.
6. Harold Carmichael, WR, 1971
7th round, 161st overall
Pretty good value for a guy who ended up as the franchise's all-time leader in receptions (589), yards (8,978) and touchdown catches (79). Mel Gray, who ended up playing for the Cardinals for 12 years, was a sixth-round pick.
5. Steve Van Buren, B, 1944
1st round, 5th overall
Won the NFL rushing title four times and was the offensive leader of the 1948 and 1949 NFL title teams. The 205 yards he ran for against Pittsburgh in 1949 remain a team record. Van Buren was named a member of the NFL's 75th anniversary team in 1994.
4. Wilbert Montgomery, RB, 1977
6th round, 154th overall
The Eagles traded their picks in the first four rounds and still ended up with Montgomery, the team's all-time leading rusher. Ran for 194 yards in the NFC Championship Game against Dallas to send the Eagles to the Super Bowl that followed the 1980 season.
3. Donovan McNabb, QB, 1999
1st round, 2nd overall
Quarterbacks were supposed to be the strength of the 1999 draft, but the Eagles picked the only one who really amounted to anything. He never won a championship, but McNabb was the face of the franchise during its greatest time of sustained success.
2. Brian Westbrook, RB, 2002
3rd round, 91st overall
