Roseman: 'A Pick Is a Pick' for 2028 First-Rounder

After the Eagles shipped Brown to New England for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round selection, Roseman emphasized that first-round picks hold value regardless of the draft year. 'We've always been in the mindset a pick is a pick — a first-round pick is a first-round pick,' Roseman stated. 'Doesn't matter. Teams are still going to be playing football in 2028.'

The Eagles reportedly would have preferred a 2027 first-round pick, but the value of the 2028 selection could increase if the Patriots struggle in 2027, potentially yielding a higher draft position. The relative strength of the 2028 draft class compared to 2027 remains unknown at this point. sweetbonanza.qpon
