Has Howie’s cornerback draft strategy hurt the Eagles?

Howie Roseman has been with the Eagles since 2000, when he broke into the league as an intern on the Eagles’ salary cap counsel. Ten years later, Howie became the Eagles general manager. Since then, discounting 2015 when Chip Kelly was general manager, Roseman has overseen nine drafts.

In those nine drafts, his positional picking has accumulated as follows:

  • QB: 5
  • RB: 7
  • WR: 7
  • TE: 3
  • OL: 11
  • DL: 16
  • LB: 9
  • DB: 15
  • K: 1

As you can see, the top two drafted positions in Howie’s tenure have been in the secondary and defensive line.
