The talk of the offseason thus far for the Philadelphia Eagles and their fans has been the idea of trading up in the NFL Draft to select Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota. There has been a split among fans, who think that the birds should do the deal and other fans that think they should not do the deal.
A few weeks ago, our very own Adio Royster wrote about why the Eagles should not do the deal. Well, Adio you might have somebody joining the fight with you and that’s Eagles Vice President of Football Operations Howie Roseman.
Roseman believes that trading up is a bad idea and history has shown us it has not panned out. On Saturday, Roseman was at the MIT Sloan Analytics Conference in Boston and explained on how the team that trades down gets the better end of the deal.
“When you’re looking at trading up, at some point, your board drops off so dramatically in terms of how you evaluate that player, Roseman said via Philly.com. “But the history of trading up for one player, when you look at those trades, isn’t good for the team trading up and putting a lot of resources into it.”
