Ranking Howie Roseman’s drafts from best to worst originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Next week, Howie Roseman will oversee his 14th draft as Eagles general manager, and the first 13 have ranged from brilliant to disastrous.
Roseman has drafted 105 players, ranging from a 1st-ballot Hall of Fame center to a 1st-round edge rusher that never started a game in the NFL.
During a recent Eagle Eye podcast, Dave Zangaro and I decided to rank each of Roseman’s first 13 drafts from best to worst, and this is what we came up with.
Remember, Roseman wasn’t in charge of the 2015 draft, which produced Nelson Agholor and Jordan Hicks. Head coach Chip Kelly served as de facto GM in 2015 before owner Jeff Lurie fired Kelly and restored Roseman’s control over personnel.
Roseman first joined the Eagles in 2000 and became general manager in January of 2010. Roseman’s first three drafts with the GM title Andy Reid had final say but Roseman had a strong voice in the draft room, so they’re included here.
1) 2018: Howie Roseman’s best draft came just a couple months after the Eagles won the Super Bowl. The Eagles didn’t have 1st- or 3rd-round picks in 2018, but they still found a top-10 tight end, a very good slot corner, a Pro Bowl edge rusher and an elite left tackle. Six years later, four of the five players the Eagles selected are still here (although they released Avonte Maddox and re-signed him). Even Matt Pryor, the one guy who didn’t really pan out here, is still in the NFL, heading into his seventh season.
2nd round: TE Dallas Goedert
4th round: CB Avonte Maddox, Edge Josh Sweat
6th round: OL Matt Pryor
7th-round: OL Jordan Mailata
2) 2012:. This draft was top-heavy with a Super Bowl MVP and a possible Hall of Fame defensive lineman. It might have been in the top spot if the Eagles hadn’t traded Foles and then brought him back. But Kendricks was an above-average starter – he’s started more games at linebacker than any other Eagle over the last 20…
