2010 Class:

13: Brandon Graham

37: Nate Allen

86: Daniel Te’o-Nesheim

105: Trevard Lindley

121: Keenan Clayton

122: Mike Kafka

125: Clay Harbor

134: Ricky Sapp

159: Riley Cooper

200: Charles Scott

220: Jamar Chaney

243: Jeff Owens

244: Kurt Coleman

Description: Howie’s first draft was meh with the exception of Brandon Graham who is an Eagles legend but beyond Graham the rest of the 2010 class weren’t the best.

2011 Class:

23: Danny Watkins

54: Jaiquawn Jarrett

90: Curtis Marsh

116: Casey Matthews

120: Alex Henery

149: Dion Lewis

161: Julian Vandervelde

191: Jason Kelce

193: Brian Rolle

237: Greg Lloyd, Jr.

240: Stanley Havili

Description: This draft class was mostly terrible except for one man, the best center in franchise history and a legend in the 6th round. JASON KELCE Kelce is going to be in the hall of fame but the rest of this draft class with the exception of Dion Lewis are forgettable.

2012 Class:

12: Fletcher Cox

46: Mychal Kendricks

59: Vinny Curry

88: Nick Foles

123: Brandon Boykin

153: Dennis Kelly

194: Marvin McNutt

200: Brandon Washington

229: Bryce Brown

Description: This draft had a lot of good picks, Cox, Kendricks, Curry, and Foles all went down as part of the Super Bowl 52. Foles is a legend in Philly, Cox is going to the hall of fame, and both Kendricks and Curry had long careers. Dennis Kelly has had a long career as a serviceable lineman. The Eagles also hit on Brandon Boykin who had a solid 2013 season and is known for sealing the division title, and Bryce Brown who had a few good games for the Eagles.

2013 Class:

4: Lane Johnson

35: Zach Ertz

67: Bennie Logan

98: Matt Barkley

136: Earl Wolff

212: Joe Kruger

218: Jordan Poyer

239: David King

Description: The 2013 class had two more franchise legends selected Lane Johnson whose likely going to be in the hall of fame and is still an Eagle, and Zach Ertz. Both players were apart of that SB winning roster with Ertz catching the game winning TD. Bennie Logan was a solid run stopper. Jordan Poyer did not play much as an Eagle but has been a great player for the Bills. Matt Barkley was a journeyman backup.

2014 Class:

26: Marcus Smith

42: Jordan Matthews

86: Josh Huff

101: Jaylen Watkins

141: Taylor Hart

162: Ed Reynolds

224: Beau Allen

Description: This draft was a step back for Roseman, Marcus Smith, and Josh Huff were bad picks in the 1st and 3rd round, Jordan Matthews had a solid 3 year stretch but wasn’t a superstar WR. Jaylen Watkins, Taylor Hart, and Ed Reynolds had short careers. Eagles found a diamond in the rough in 7th round pick Beau Allen.

2015 Class:

Note: This class was done by Chip Kelly not Roseman so this won’t count.

2016 Class:

2: Carson Wentz

79: Isaac Seumalo

153: Wendell Smallwood

164: Halapoulivaati Vaitai

196: Blake Countess

233: Jalen Mills

240: Alex McCalister

251: Joe Walker

Description: This draft was decent with Seumalo, Wentz, Mills, Vaitai, and Smallwood all being apart of the Super Bowl winning team with Mills, Seumalo, and Vaitai being starters in the SB. As for Walker he had a solid career as a journeyman. Overall this draft class all had moments as part of the Eagles.

2017 Class:

14: Derek Barnett

43: Sidney Jones

99: Rasul Douglas

118: Mack Hollins

132: Donnel Pumphrey

166: Sheldon Gibson

184: Nate Gerry

214: Elijah Qualls

Description: This 2017 draft class was awful for the Eagles. Derek Barnett was decent but is now a depth piece who is on the trade block, and Sidney Jones was an injury ridden bust. The middle round had Rasul Dougkas and Mack Hollins leaving Philly and breaking out with other teams. Donnell Pumphrey was injury ridden, and Sheldon Gibson barley played. Nate Gerry was alright for a 6th round pick, and Elijah Qualls was a 7th.

2018 Class:

49: Dallas Goedert

125: Avonte Maddox

130: Josh Sweat

206: Matt Pryor

233: Jordan Mailata

Description: This draft class was a great class for Roseman as all of them were key members of the Eagles over the last half decade. Excluding Pryor the rest of the players were all starters on this years teams, Sweat as a PB player, and Mailata has had a hollywood story. Overall Howie made the 5 picks count as all of them have had successful careers.

2019:

22: Andre Dillard

53: Miles Sanders

57: JJ Arcega Whiteside

138: Shareef Miller

167: Clayton Thorson

Description: This draft class has been a complete disaster, with the exception of Miles Sanders who had a PB 2022 season and an overall decent stretch for the team the rest of these players have been awful. Dillard was a backup, Whiteside switched to TE, Miller was PS guy, and Thorson is out of the NFL.

2020:

21: Jalen Reagor

53: Jalen Hurts

103: Davion Taylor

127: K’von Wallace

145: Jack Driscoll

168: John Hightower

196: Shaun Bradley

200: Quez Watkins

210: Prince Tega Wanogho

233: Casey Toohill

Description: Most of this draft was awful, Jalen Reagor and Davion Taylor were awful. Reagor is a practice squad guy now, and Taylor is out of the league. K’von Wallace and Casey Toohill never developed here. John Hightower had stone for hands and was out of Philly after Y2. Despite that Shaun Bradley, Jack Driscoll, Quez Watkins, and JALEN HURTS saved this draft. Bradley being a star special teamer since coming to Philly, Watkins having his moments but is what you’d expect from a 6th round pick, and Jack Driscoll being an alright backup. Other than that you have Jalen Hurts who has exceeded expectations. Hurts turned this franchise around after an awful 4-11-1 campaign, and he has made the Eagles future filled with hope.

2021 Class:

10: Devonta Smith

37: Landon Dickerson

73: Milton Williams

123: Zech McPhearson

150: Kenneth Gainwell

189: Marlon Tuipulotu

191: Tarron Jackson

224: JaCoby Stevens

234: Patrick Johnson

Description: The 2021 draft was a massive hit for the franchise, every single pick has been great for the team. Devonta Smith, and Landon Dickerson being starters on the offense, Milton Williams being a solid player for the defensive line, Zech McPhearson a solid special teamer, and Kenneth Gainwell being a solid receiving back. Marlon Tuipulotu has been a solid rotationary depth piece, and both Patrick Johnson, and Tarron Jackson had moments, the one player whose not in the NFL is JaCoby Stevens.

2022 Class and 2023 Classes:

Note: These classes are still relatively new so it still needs another few years to see how those classes turn out.

    Largely agree, but any draft that you pick up a franchise QB from is a home run regardless of what else happens in the other rounds.
