Eagles general manager Howie Roseman sees free agency as time to tackle team needs and the draft is the time to add the most. talented players, whether they play a position of need or not.
Roseman said the Eagles tried to sign players they thought they needed in free agency , including running back Saquon Barkley, pass rusher Bryce Huff and defensive back C.J. Gardner . -Johnson, defensive end Matt Hennessy and inside linebackers Zack Baun and Devin White — so the draft could be about acquiring talent.
“What we try to do with his best ability, “It’s about trying in the draft to fill as many needs as possible through free agency, so we can be open to the best players in the draft ,” Roseman said.
That has been the Eagles’ long-term approach, and it was quite successful during Roseman’s campaign. mission in Philadelphia. The Eagles’ draftees next week will be those they believe have the best chance for long-term success, even if they don’t intend to start as rookies.
