After reading some of the quotes tweeted today from the Philadelphia Eagles beat reporters’ sit-down with Howie Roseman, I came away convinced he must be an avid reader of Eagles Addict!
Consider the following:
Roseman indicates team putting less stock in combine and All-Star games, just “tweaks” to board since January.

Then this:
Roseman acknowledges that drafting a QB outside the top of the draft is “betting against the odds” #Eagles

And finally, this:
Roseman on DT: “I think it’s the deepest position in the draft.”

I haven’t dedicated an article solely to this topic, but I have mentioned it many times in multiple articles. I’ve mainly used the “draft is deep at DT” as justification for doing something different in round one other than take Fletcher Cox or another DT that early. For example, here is one of those articles:
Best Case Scenario For the Philadelphia Eagles In the 2012 NFL Draft
Now, this is all in jest here. Do I really think Howie reads this site? No, I’m sure he has much more important things to do rather than wait with baited breath for the next marvelous article with mind-blowing insight from Eagles Addict.
But hey, just in case…thanks for reading Howie!





Let’s hope Dave, I think we drafted better than Howie has the last two years.
It is amazing though seeing those quotes.
Yeah really Ron! Hopefully Roseman has learned a thing or two from the past 2 years…at least Watkins looks like a good pick though.
Can’t wait til next week!
