With two first-round picks, Eagles need to prioritize defense first, then wide receiver

Over the past decade, general manager Howie Roseman has overseen each draft except 2015, when Chip Kelly relieved him of that duty. Roseman’s title might have changed but his primary responsibility as a talent evaluator remains.

Whenever Roseman’s tenure concludes, he’ll likely be most remembered for helping piece together the Eagles roster that won the Super Bowl following the 2017 season. But it would be remiss to not mention the team’s ensuing downfall and how Roseman survived the breakup with coach Doug Pederson. How Roseman navigates and attempts to bring the team back to a level of frequent relevancy could serve as additional pillars to his legacy in Philadelphia.

With draft week finally here, Roseman is about to write the franchise’s next chapter.
