The Eagles have traded out of the first round just twice since 1999, but they’re not ruling it out in this year’s draft. When speaking with reporters this week, Eagles GM Howie Roseman indicated that the No. 32 pick could be for sale. 
“I would say overall we’re open for business,” said Roseman (via Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice). “We’re open for business in every round if it’s something that we think makes sense for our team, we’re going to do it. But at the same time, we’re ready to pick. We have 32 guys we feel really good about. We can’t operate under the assumption that we’re going to bail out, so we’re ready to roll.”
The final pick in the first round has been traded in three of the last four drafts. The No. 32 pick may not seem sexy, but it holds value over the first pick in the second round since those players can be controlled for an extra year through the fifth-year option.
Most GMs like to say they are “open for business” at this time in the offseason, so it’s hard to tell how serious the Eagles are about the prospect of moving back from No. 32. However, as Kempski notes, the Eagles have moved out of their original draft slot in nine of the last 19 drafts, so, historically speaking, they are willing to deal.
Every…single…GM…says…the…same…thing.
Howie looks like he’s walking like Vince McMahon in this pic
Arby’s commercials are great. “Arby’s we got the beef”
Hope they have an awful draft! The rest of the division will need help somehow due to the Eagles’ coaching being so considerably better.
Haha wah wah
That last pick of the first is always a hot commodity. No real news there from the eagles.
The lips move while nothing is said. Howie has a promising future in politics.
