Wikipedia names Howie Roseman 'master of all the draft'

Those last two things have since been deleted, but not before the team could post the entry on their social media account. The problem with Wikipedia is that anyone can anonymously edit its content without permission. It would have been just as easy to say that Roseman had a horrible 2023 NFL Draft, but too many are on the record saying otherwise.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper gave the Eagles’ draft an A. He thinks Roseman "crushed it" by filling clear needs with Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith and the trade for D’Andre Swift. Sportingnews.com’s Vinny Iyer did Kiper one better and gave Philly’s draft an A+. Iyer also liked the Swift trade and sees Alabama OT Tyler Steen as a great future stash for a veteran offensive line.

USA Today’s Nate Davis also gave the Eagles an A+ and believes Roseman had the best draft of any general manager. He was particularly impressed with getting Smith with the 30th pick and sees the Eagles as favorites to reach Super Bowl LVIII.

All make valid points, but Roseman’s greatest trick might be winning over Philadelphia’s demanding fanbase. No one seems to remember when Roseman used a first-round pick to draft a 26-year-old firefighter named Danny Watkins in 2011, or the time he passed on LSU’s Justin Jefferson to take TCU’s Jalen Reagor.

None of that matters anymore. All Eagles fans know now is that Roseman just added some of the draft’s best talent to one of the NFL’s deepest rosters.
