With The 32nd Overall Pick, Your Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles Howie’d The Ravens
At 11:28pm on Thursday April 26th, your World Champion Philadelphia Eagles went on the clock.
At 11:33pm, they traded that pick.
Well, it wasn’t what fans wanted. But, the Eagles made the right move to help keep building the team into a dynasty. Coming into the draft with only 6 picks, the Eagles needed to gather more picks somehow.
So, in the most Howie way possible, Howie Roseman again fleeced his competition and held the 32nd overall pick ransom. Howie waited to the last possible moment to trade the pick and got the best return possible.
Eagles – #52 overall, #125 overall, and a 2019 2nd round pick
Ravens – #32 overall and #132 overall
First, what a trade. How is the league still letting Howie do this to teams.
Second, lets dive into not just one trade but two in one.
Howie moved down 20 selections at the price of a 2019 2nd rounder. But, he also made a secondary move-up in the trade. Moving up 7 spots in the 4th round, from 132 to 125, to add the cherry on the top of this trade.
Here is what Howie himself thought about the trade…
“It gets us an opportunity to still get a good player possibly, but more importantly, continue to build. For us, we want to win this year, but we want to continue to win. We want to win 2018, we want to win 2019, 2020.”
If you want to do business with Howie. Bring your check-book with you because you are going to have to pay.
