2010 – Grade C-

Howie Roseman's first draft as GM produced netted the Eagles 13 picks. While he didn't have final say over the selections – coach Andy Reid did – Roseman's influence was felt almost immediately. The 2010 draft wasn't a complete failure, but there were far more misses than hits. It's easy to point out the players the Eagles could have drafted. In fact, many team's drafts could look cringe-worthy when applying the same practice in retrospect. But there were some notable whiffs, considering who the Eagles otherwise took, in the first four rounds. They also avoided plenty of busts. The names, in most cases, aren't familiar. But that's the point. And in some circumstances – represented by a "N/A" -- the Eagles did about as well (or as bad) as they could have in that round.
