Good things keep happening to the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason under GM Howie Roseman. But it's been about more than just luck.
When the Philadelphia Eagles made the 22nd pick in the 2024 NFL Draft last Thursday, Micah Parsons' face said it all. He shook his head, he rolled his eyes, and then he buried his face in his hands as the pick was announced on the Bleacher Report draft show. He couldn't believe that Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell, the consensus top cornerbck in the draft, had fallen all the way to the Eagles, who needed a cornerback so badly they were trying to trade up to get one.
Like in this year's draft when the Eagles made an NFL-record-tying eight trades — nearly one-third of the 28 trades made all around the league. That not only helped the Eagles move up for DeJean and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the fifth round, they also walked away with extra picks in the third, fourth and fifth rounds in 2025. 'When you have as many picks as we do, you go into it and say, ‘Hey, what would be a great goal?'' Roseman said.
