Eagles continue to make poor personnel decisions

About a month prior, I expounded on the Eagles' offseason exchange that sent DeMarco Murray to the Tennessee Titans as move I sort of wished to have back.

However, there's a moment arrangement that appears as though it exploded backward on the Birds: the one where cornerback Eric Rowe, simply falling off his new kid on the block season, went to the New England Patriots for a contingent fourth-round draft pick.

I wasn't unpleasantly vexed about this at the time, yet I do believed that exchanging with the Pats once in a while turns out well.

All things considered, it didn't, on account of Rowe is currently beginning for New England, the top seed in the AFC, and Philly simply completed a 7-9 normal season where cornerback was one of its weakest positions (alongside wide recipient).

What's more, to aggravate matters, Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman supported managing Rowe, a moment round draft decision in 2015, by saying the Birds had no arrangements to sign him to an agreement augmentation.

Give me a chance to check whether I have this straight. You knew you weren't going to re-sign Rowe despite the fact that he had quite a while left on his new kid on the block bargain and any choice on his agreement status wouldn't have to made at any point in the near future?

Why abandon Rowe that rapidly? It's unmistakable the Patriots saw his potential even after a here and there new kid on the block crusade.

So this again raises the point: Can the Birds ever turned out to be Super Bowl contenders with Roseman as GM?

His staff reputation is average, best case scenario. I can't recollect the last time the Eagles had a better than average draft, where they handled a few long haul starters.

Additionally, other than Fletcher Cox, what Roseman-drafted Eagle has been chosen to more than one Pro Bowl?

A portion of the issues with late drafts can be faulted for Chip Kelly, obviously, however Roseman's drafts earlier weren't precisely perfect works of art.

You can't construct a title group without sharp ability evaluators, and who in the Birds front office falls into that classification?

Absolutely not Roseman.
