Eagles GM ranks top dog among the field in GM power rankings
Howie Roseman was listed as the top general manager in the latest GM power rankings.
The Philadelphia Eagles know that they have a top dog in the front office.
But now Roseman is earning respect from the NFL media conglomerate. Gregg Rosenthal, a member of NFL.com's media network, put together his NFL GM Power Rankings and Roseman was ranked the No. 1 general manager in the league.
Here is what Rosenthal had to say:
"No team does a better job using every avenue for player acquisition, balancing current needs with the future. The Jalen Hurts pick in 2020 was a great example of forward-thinking that changed the course of the franchise. The top three picks in last year's draft class (Jordan Davis, Cam Jurgens, and Nakobe Dean) mostly had what amounted to redshirt rookie seasons, but players selected in the class before (DeVonta Smith and Landon Dickerson) helped the team nearly win a title in 2022."
"The Eagles are great at self-scouting and spend a premium on line play (Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata, and Josh Sweat) while finding ways to keep their productive longtime veterans like Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham. Most importantly, Roseman has nailed bringing in players just about to hit their prime, such as A.J. Brown, Haason Reddick, and Javon Hargrave (the latter of whom left for San Francisco this offseason). They recognize value, whether that means scooping up James Bradberry late last offseason or finding a way to keep him and Darius Slay this time around. Hurts' looming big contract will test Roseman's flexibility, but this is a front office that finds answers."
Roseman coming in as the top general manager in the NFL comes as no surprise. No one has been more productive the same way he has recently. He built a Super Bowl contender and also has the quarterback of the future on his roster.
The sky is only up for the Eagles moving forward.
