Philadelphia Eagles’ Howie Roseman tops GM Power Rankings

The Philadelphia Eagles typically get snubbed in power rankings — but not this time around. Howie Roseman is here to change that.

Power Rankings are one of the best, worst things in the offseason. If your team is high up on the list, then you’re happy. If they are low, then you obviously aren’t going to be thrilled. Regardless of how accurate they are or not, though, there’s always going to be some backlash. Typically, that backlash comes right out of Philadelphia as Eagles fans tend always to feel slighted for their team.

Let’s think back to the 2017 NFL season for a moment — the year of the underdogs. Throughout the entire season, the Eagles were squeaking out of games, but also destroying opponents. The scoreboard didn’t matter, though, in the end, they were winning. But for whatever reason, they couldn’t get crowned at the top via power rankings. Yet, the Eagles still came away with a Super Bowl victory, despite what the media said about them.

Now fast forward to this offseason, and the frustration with power rankings lie on the ones about head coaches. Doug Pederson, who has coached the Eagles to the playoffs in back-to-back years with countless injuries to starters on the team can’t seem to crack the top five. It’s strange, but for some reason, Coach Pederson and the Eagles struggle to get that recognition. At least there is a brand new General Managers power rankings though to reassure everybody we’re not too crazy.

Howie Roseman’s reputation soars outside of Philly

"“There isn’t a more creative GM in the league, and that includes Belichick. Howie Roseman always seems to be a step ahead of his competitors. His trades always seem to pay off. His decisions in free agency have improved the roster without killing the team’s cap situation. And no one is better at gaming the compensatory pick system.”"

Recently, USA Today’s For the Win put together an all-32 NFL General Manager Power Rankings. While we expected Howie Roseman to be somewhere around the top of the list — we were shocked to find out that he actually topped the list. At No. 1, Howie Roseman was crowned as the best General Manager in the league. And for once, the Eagles gain some recognition.

Throughout the previous two offseasons, including this year’s, Howie Roseman has made quite the name for himself. As he’s always involved in the trade market no matter who the player is, Roseman is never not getting busy and looking for his next deal. Whether it’s fleecing a team with mid-round picks for a proven veteran, or jumping ahead in the draft to get a player the next team up wanted, Roseman, is always in the know — and makes what he wants to happen… happen.
