Eagles trade 2003 3rd round pick Billy McMullen for undrafted free agent Hank Baskett.

So, basically, they traded this guy for someone they could have had for nothing a month ago.

6'3" 224lbs 4.5, 4.22 (shuttle), 6.8 (3cone)... decent, but not earth shattering. He's punted and can throw option passes though and has a better chance at making the roster... pre-draft he was projected as a 5th round pick. This trade definately classifies as a bit crazy... maybe they fell in love with his size and intangibles...

Baskett is a rare-sized athlete with a fine blend of size, strength and quickness. He emerged as a game-breaking threat during his senior year, his first season as a starter. This blue chip talent has a solid and blue-collar work ethic. He not only excels on offense as a receiver, but also demonstrates a strong arm for the option pass. He also relishes his role as a team leader.

Baskett was a three-sport standout at Clovis High School. He not only starred in football, basketball and track, but also excelled in the classroom, graduating with a 4.0 grade point average. As a senior, he played in six games at quarterback and four more at receiver, earning second-team All-State honors as a punter (handled that duty for three seasons) and receiver.

In track, Baskett was one of the nation's top schoolboy high jumpers with a state-record leap of 7'0" at the 2000 state track meet in Albuquerque, again winning that title in 2001 with a 6'11" jump. On the basketball court, Baskett averaged 15 points and 12 rebounds for the Wildcats, earning second-team All-State honors. He also was the Wildcats' Athlete of the Year as a junior.

blah blah blah

2005: 1,071 yards
2004: 908 yards
2003: 228 yards (17 catches)
2002: 21 yards (2 catches) - missed 7 games due to a spinal/neck injury




and mcmullen's been nothing but a scrub. he was like 6, 7, or 8 on their depth chart... just a throw in.

That would be great if Billy McMullen becomes a superstar wideout.

I don't know if any young Phili reciever has ever shown promise. Harold Carmichael maybe?

I think u r thinking of Reggie Brown, but McM showed some promise coming out of college but his time with the Eagles has been luckily unproductive.
