The NFL Draft is a time for teams to restock, build up their player base with cheaper and younger talent in the hopes of finding building blocks that will sustain the franchise for years to come.
Howie Roseman has done a tremendous job of doing this over the last half-decade, and with a substantial number of those picks, like center Cam Jurgens on Monday, locked them into big-money, long-term deals after they had produced tremendous value on their rookie contracts. That effort will continue starting on Thursday night as the Eagles hold the final pick in the first round of this weekend’s NFL Draft.
