Overall Grade: B+

Howie Roseman has a lot of skeptics and it is justified. Throughout his career in Philadelphia, Roseman has proven to be a pain to work with, and his personnel moves have been questionable at best.

It seems that Roseman learned a lot from his year off and did some great things in 2016, fixing a roster that was stripped razor thin of talented players by Chip Kelly.

Finding a franchise quarterback is the most important part and with Carson Wentz, Roseman may have found the Eagles’ next great QB.

Year two of the Roseman regime will be interesting. With some salary cap restrictions, Roseman will have to draft well, and find some explosive playmakers on both sides of the ball in order to fully maximize the prime years of players like Fletcher Cox, Carson Wentz and Jordan Hicks.

The VP of football operations stressed this team is going all in on a Lombardi trophy. The Eagles won’t settle for 10-6 and a one and done playoff appearance anymore. The mindset of this team is to win a championship and I believe Roseman can be the guy to help get them there.
