Did Eagles general manager Howie Roseman do it again?

The Eagles’ wizard talent scout and salary cap guru may have pulled off another profitable and productive recent draft that will keep the Birds back in contention for another Super Bowl run.

In this week’s version of my Inside the Huddle column, I’ll have a synopsis of the Eagles’ picks, as well as a sketch of former No. 1 picks over five-year periods.

Also, I’ll recall a former Lehighton quarterback who made his mark at Syracuse before he began a successful collegiate coaching career.

Sizing It Up ... Overall, the Eagles had 10 picks, and Roseman addressed the defensive line, offensive line and secondary — three areas that helped carry his team to success.

Even though all of Roseman’s picks appear to follow his script, some of them don’t adhere to the Eagles’ usual super-sized deals.

First-round pick, Alabama’s Jihaad Campbell, looks like a sleeper, even though Philly moved up a pick to get him. He is coming off shoulder surgery, and that curtailed his stock in the draft. But Campbell will have the versatility to be plugged in as an outside linebacker or edge rusher with his size.

Second-round pick, Texas safety Andrew Mukuba, is a ballhawk with speed and fits nicely into the picture. The lone drawback will be his 5-11, 186-pound frame that surely will be tested. Like Mukaba, fifth-rounder Mac McWilliams could be considered an undersized corner, but he ran a 4.4 in the 40.

Fourth-rounder, Nebraska defensive tackle Ty Robinson, is a bit under the norm for them at 288 pounds, but Robinson recorded seven sacks. He also played as a fullback, and the Cornhusker scored on seven of his eight snaps. Welcome Ty to the tush-push.

The draft wouldn’t be complete without adding another Georgia Bulldog, and Roseman took Smael Mondon, who can play linebacker or a nickel. However, Mondon is coming off surgery in March to repair a stress fracture.

The Eagles added depth to their offensive line with center Drew Kendall, and tackles Myles Hinton and Cameron Williams. Kendall’s father Pete played the same position for 13 season with Seattle, and Hinton’s father Chris was a seven-time Pro Bowler who played for the Colts, Falcons and Vikings. There are some good blood lines there.

Hinton, who is 6-7 and 323, and Williams at 6-6 and 317, figure to be naturals in the scheme.

Center of Attention ... With an apparent solid core on both sides of the ball, the real steal of the Eagles draft could be Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord, who somehow slipped to the sixth round.

McCord topped all FBS passers, and also set the ACC single-season mark with 4,779 yards, along with 34 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Over four years, McCord threw for 61 touchdowns and just 20 interceptions with 8,555 overall yards.

Tanner McKee is the current backup behind Jalen Hurts, but McCord has the potential to skyrocket up the charts.

Will Roseman’s draft work? We’ll get the first look when the club begins their mandatory mini-camp in mid-June.

They had the Potential ... With Ron Jaworski, Randall Cunningham, Donovan McNabb and Jalen Hurts among others who registered themselves as starters, there have been a number of drafted quarterbacks who never made the big show.

See how many you can remember.

1967 - Ben Monroe, New Mexico; 1969 - Sonny Wade, Evan and Perry; 1983 - David Magnum, Baylor; 1987 - Ken Lambiotte, William and Mary; 1988 - Don McPherson, Syracuse; 1991 - Craig Erickson, Miami; 1992 - Casey Weldon, Florida State; 1995 - Dave Barr, California; 2010 - Mike Kafka (current Giants’ offensive coordinator); and 2019 - Clayton Thorson, Northwestern.

Fears and Flops From Fives ... From 1960, the Eagles have had some first-round picks who have either been Pro Bowlers or consistent contributors, or have been busts.

Here is a list of their top picks for every fifth year since 1960:

1960: Ron Burton, running back - Burton signed with the Boston Patriots of the AFL. Linebacker Maxie Baughan, their second pick, started every game.

1965: Ray Rissmiller, guard - He was a second-round selection from Easton High grad who played three seasons, one each with the Eagles, Saints, and Bills.

1970: Steve Zabel, linebacker - He became a force in the middle in five years and also played for the Patriots (four years), and the Colts (one year).

1975: Bill Capraun, tackle - Due to the Bill Bergey trade, he wasn’t chosen until the seventh round. However, he never played in the league.

1980: Roynell Young, cornerback - Young had nine solid seasons with the Birds and was a one-time Pro Bowler.

1985: Kevin Allen, tackle - Allen made four starts and was gone after his first year that featured a litany of issues.

1990: Ben Smith, cornerback - Smith played three years with the Eagles before he was traded to Denver, where he spent one season. He played his final two years with Arizona.

1995: Mike Mamula, linebacker - Mamula also was a bust, as he dealt with knee issues and inconsistent play. He was released after five seasons.

2000: Corey Simon, defensive tackle - Simon played five seasons with the Birds, but became a free agent after contract squabbles. He signed a two-year pact with the Colts, but missed the second season due to injuries. Simon then inked a deal with the Titans, but retired in October of that season due to polyarthritis.

2005: Mike Patterson, defensive tackle - Patterson had an average eight-year career with the Eagles until he was released. He signed with the Giants and played two years there.

2010: Brandon Graham, defensive lineman - Graham had a stellar 15-year career with the Eagles, and became the heart and soul of the team in recent years before his retirement in February.

2015: Nelson Agholor, wide receiver - Agholor had five productive years in Philly before he elected to try the free-agent market with the Raiders. After that, his career fizzled with other stops with the Patriots and Ravens. He is currently a free agent.

2020: Jalen Reagor, wide receiver - Reagor had a two-year stint with the Birds until he was traded to the Vikings. He had a one-year stay there and then stops with the Patriots and Chargers.

Scrapbook ... Each column, I’ll look back at a former standout from the area.

In his senior year of 1978, Lehighton’s Dave Warner completed 81 of 141 passes for 1,257 yards with 17 touchdowns. Also a star baseball and football player, Warner played in the Big 33 game. He was regarded as the greater Lehigh Valley’s top quarterback for the second straight year.

Warner accepted a scholarship to continue his quarterback career at Syracuse University, where he was recruited by assistant coach and future Giants’ head coach Tom Coughlin.

While at Syracuse, Warner was a three-year letter-winner and completed 209-of-415 passes (50.4%) for 2593 yards and 12 TDs. He rushed 342 times for 1,139 yards and 16 touchdowns. He guided Syracuse to an Independence Bowl victory over McNeese State. Warner also guided the Orangeman to an upset victory over Doug Flutie and Boston College, and led an upset over No. 20 West Virginia.

Warner was in the Eagles’ camp for a tryout in 1982, and was also in a similar situation with the USFL’s New Jersey Generals in 1983.

From there, Warner embarked on a long coaching career, serving in roles as an offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, passing game coach, running backs coach and wide receivers coach.

His stops along the way were with Kent State, Kansas, Michigan State, Bucknell, Connecticut, Southern Mississippi and the University of Texas El-Paso. At Michigan State, Warner directed one of the more prolific offenses in school history, and had future NFL quarterbacks Brian Hoyer, Kurt Cousins and Conner Cook under his guidance.
