The Stupidest NFL Draft in Philadelphia Eagles History 

What, something stupid from Rich Kotite? I did not expect that! edit: Yeah the 1992 Draft sucked for the most part. The only guys who you could make a Hall of Fame claim for are Darren Woodson (said pick was one of the ones from the Herschel Walker trade I think) and Jason Hanson (this pick was passed through several times, but originated in the HW trade). But the low light of that draft was the Colts having the first two picks and (in hindsight) blowing them on Steve Emtman (1) and Quentin Coryatt (2)

Siran Stacy suffered unimaginable tragedy: On November 19, 2007, Stacy and his family were involved in a car accident in which six people were killed. Four of Stacy's children were killed in the accident, as well as his wife and the driver of the other car. Though severely injured, Stacy and one daughter survived the wreck. Think about losing 4 of your 5 children in the blink of an eye due to a reckless driver. Kind of makes the football part of his life seem unimportant.

After he left the Eagles, they probably said, "That's a wrap."

Rich Kotite??? Bahahahaha. Enough said

Tbf you probably brought up the Marcus Allen comparison more times in this video than everyone else did combined back in the day lol.

I remember Siran Stacy, I had no idea he was even drafted.

I guess you could say that Saran Stacy’s career was a wrap before it started

Man, underrated channel. Love your vids!

Would have thought Troy Vincent and Woodson would be in the hall of fame

I was going to type in that Marcus was a second tier Hall of Famer like Riggins and Thurman Thomas and then you make a fantastic case that he belongs in the top tier with Barry Sanders and Jim Brown. Oh, and by the way, "Marcus Allen is an elite player, but I can't commit to him being our starting RB" - Al Davis, ca. 1987

Stacy’s mom didn’t have it going on when she named him either

Yeah Rich Kotite was a moron and a stupid draft is expected from him. The funny thing is that 20 years later, a future hall of fame Eagles head coach would have a draft that would rival this incompetency, save for one sixth round pick.

Or they can compare Marvin Harrison, Jr. to his father; Marvin Harrison, Sr.

Me feeling psychological pain every time the Eagles are mentioned in a terrible light in a JG9 video.

I love how he compares the stats at the end to really drive the dagger through their hearts

1992 was Bill Cowhers first year and the Steelers had a good draft. Leon Searcy, Levon Kirkland, Joel Steed, and Darren Perry were all drafted.

Seeing that quote from Rich Kotite and I IMMEDIATELY knew it had to be something colossally stupid. The guy wasn't the worst OC ever (though not the best either) but as a HC he was HOOORRIBLE and you can make the case that the decline of the Randal Cunningham Eagles can be attributed to him alone.

In November 2007, Stacy was involved in a severe car accident. His wife and four of his children died. Stacy and one daughter survived but were severely injured. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siran_Stacy#Personal_life

Thats almost as bad as Skip Brainless saying Johnny Manziel was going to be a great quarterback.

You hit a guy low that had survived tragedy in 2007 when his wife and all but 1 kid was killed in a car wreck.

So what you're saying is that I have as many yards gained as Siran Stacy.

Siran Stacy did have a decent career over in the WLAF/NFL Europe with the Scottish Claymores after this draft.

Oh man, i have 0 yard too...i guess i was the next marcus allen

I always thought he was named after Sirhan Sirhan, which would be infinitely more interesting than being named after plastic.

Philly just drafts RB's like the Lions draft WR's 😂😂😂

This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made mini-movie about Michael Westbrook’s epic playoff performance against Tampa Bay in 1999.

In the 1988 NFL Draft, with the #1 pick the Atlanta FALCONS got roped in on the next LT Lawrence Taylor. Player name was Aundray Bruce, He went on to have a good career with the Raiders for seven seasons.

Yeah, think that was pointless, he was clearly comparing the style of runner, comparing somebody style to another’s isn’t comparing their quality, this is something that is proven more & more to go over Americans heads. In the real world of football (the one that they actually kick the ball around) people compare player free kicks style to David Beckham all the time, no one ever said they were as good as him, just that they take their free kick the same way, that’s all this comparison is & that 20 minutes of my life I won’t get back for a ‘none story’.

I’m getting “Dream Team” comment flashbacks from this

You said the secret word: Kotite

To be fair. His College tape does have some Marcus Allen feel to it. Those sideways cuts and the quick stop and start moves.

Stacy is an example of why the draft process is at best "educated guessing": had all the stats and numbers coming out of college, by all rights should have become at least an NFL starter...but did very little as a pro.

Maybe he hopped into the future and meant the Marcus Allen who played for the Steelers a few years back

I'm typically a fan of OJG9's videos, and I would have loved a video focusing on how poor the 1992 draft class was, especially the Colt's having the first 2 picks of the draft. However, I think the premise of this video is either disingenuous or just missing the point. Coaches and draft pundits will often use the "College _Player Smith_ reminds me of _All-Pro Player Jones"_ phrasing as a way to give the average viewer/reader a general idea of the prospect as a player. To support my take, I'll just look at the media coverage of the 2024 draft: As a Commanders fan, I've heard multiple talking-head draft-experts on ESPN stating Jayden Daniels reminds them of Lamar Jackson. I don't believe that person is making a statement that that Jayden is as good as Lamar is; furthermore, I don't the average NFL fan believes it either. The best draft analysts, the ones that scout all season long, are trying to condense a 2-5 seasons of a player's film into a 90 second segment, and they often use pro-player comparisons, specifically using "player X reminds me of pro player Y" phrasing, to give the average viewer an idea of the player's relative size, playing style, & skill-set. I'm not a Richie Kotite apologist, as I've never been a fan of his. My personal opinion is the man was handed a top-3 defense all-time (in terms of talent - IMO), and the league's most dynamic QB, and managed to win a single wild-card game. However, I don't believe for a second that Kotite was trying to claim they found the second coming of Marcus Allen when he drafted Stacy in the second round. I'm pretty sure Kotite was saying that he saw Stacy as a guy that who played fast, changed direction quickly, and could catch the ball, etc., and the best way to explain this to the average NFL fan** prior to the days of the internet and before there was a network entirely devoted to the NFL, is to make a pro player comparison. I want to reiterate that I'm a fan of OJG9's videos, and he often makes great points, and in my opinion, has pretty insightful takes. I just disagree in how I perceive the intentions in which these comments are made. In no way did Kotite say that Stacy was "exactly like" Marcus Allen, and he also didn't state or insinuate that Stacy was as talented, as skilled, or as good as Marcus Allen. To piggy-back another analogy used in the video - if a coach were to come out and say "I was really impressed with Maye's understanding of the offense and his ability to audible at the line, he reminds me of Peyton Manning." *** That coach is not saying that Maye is going to be the next Peyton Manning, he is only stating that he saw Maye make good audibles on film, and related that to people's existing knowledge of Peyton Manning. **NOTE: I understand no one has ever accused Philly of having average NFL fans, but I think my point still stands. *** Yes, I understand this isn't a realistic comparison, and a knock on Maye was his inability to get out of bad plays pre-snap, but I'm just using it for example purposes.

I can see from this highlight package dude can't break any tackles

Marcus Allen? Didn't he and Eminem do something?

What is Rich Kotite doing? Quite a history of draft day blunders.

When Siran Stacy Was Drafted By The Philadelphia Eagles In 1992 Was A Bad Draft Pick By Rich Kotite After 1994 Rich Kotite Was Fired From Philadelphia Eagles And Was Replaced With Ray Rhodes In 1995

1983 was just as bad for Philly because of the riches passed up. Picking a crap RB immediately before HOF OL Bruce Matthews, and also ignoring Jim Kelly and Dan Marino who were both available

I had a Siran Stacy card. I couldn't figure out who he was. The Eagles did get one good player out of the 1992 draft: 10th round cornerback Mark "Mighty Mouse" McMillian, who became a starter in his 2nd year and started five years in the NFL, three of those in Philly. Him being drafted in the 10th round was probably because he was 5'7" and 150 pounds. The second best player the Eagles drafted that year was probably Casey Weldon, who was a QB3. I had to stick up for McMillian though, he was a legitimate NFL player.

He said remind me like Marcus Allen he didn't say he is Marcus Allen

I'm from Staten Island originally,Kotite lived there and went to Wagner College and actually was drafted by the Giants playing there as a TE...When I was 16 I worked in a candy/cigar store and he would come in and buy Te-Amo's...The story about the 1-15 year with him hanging out with his "friends from the 5 families" during practice not paying attention to the players is hysterical. Went into complete seclusion after Jets firing

The team that seen the first round of the 1983 draft and said let’s draft Michael Haddix made another dumb pick? I’m not surprised.

the best thing Rich Kotite ever did was suck so bad 30 years later we could start a RU-vid channel just about THAT---thanks for throwing in the "decline the penalty and punt" incident 🤢🤮

Disagree on the McMillan being more known for the Saints, but great video.

@jg9 😂🎉 at 18:00-18:30 Thank You. Needed that

Don't forget that Marcus Allen was still in the league in the 92 season and it was his last season with the raiders before going on to the Kansas city chiefs for 5 years before hanging it up

But remember when Marcus Alien came in he was good but you don't think he heard when his guy was OJ think USC RB and highest paid but he heard what he may have ment how they run because they may have said but nobody knew Marcus would be HOF but when he came in he was a rookie

Still not as bad as the '75 Chiefs draft. Seriously, look it up. I don't think any team could have a worse draft if they literally tried, and my team has done its best multiple times.

Kotite was a clown 🤡

Maybe Coach Kotite got misunderstood/misquoted. I am pretty sure he was referring to what Marcus Allen would be next. Next to his playing career.

Thats a pretty bad running back class. Didn't Ricky Waters break out for the Eagles in '92?

Rich Kotite, yeah that sounds about right

I remember seeing Stacy when he was in college. I'm not sure why Kotite brought up Allen's name to begin with. If Stacy was really that dude, why did he last until the 2nd round?

Rich kotite was really stupid,wasn’t he? Comparing a draft pick to Marcus Allen was the dumbest statement he ever made! At least Saran Stacy had a good career in NFL Europe-leading his team to a NFL Europe championship! 😮😅😅😅😅😅

At the 20 minute mark you say “to be fair to Siran Stacy”. I don’t believe anything about this video is fair to Siran Stacy. He didn’t make those ridiculous Allen comparisons. His NFL career didn’t work out like hundreds of other draftees. It might have been a better video to talk about the man and the unthinkable tragedy that he suffered in 2007 and how he struggled to put his and his daughter’s life back together. I guarantee he’s not too worried these days about his failed NFL career. I’m sorry but this whole thing just seemed mean spirited to me.

An Alabama bum

Eagles fan here, I remember liking Mark McMillian as a player. He was a very short little guy who stuck in coverage well
