The Philadelphia Eagles are set to embark on another NFL draft under salary cap wizard and team GM Howie Roseman.
Roseman, known for never sitting still, has always been an active draft night trader, and will likely make a move or two next Thursday and Friday during rounds 1-3.
In all, Roseman has conducted 26 draft-day trades over the previous nine years, not including the 2015 draft when coach Chip Kelly snatched control of personnel.
With the Eagles looking to make moves, we’ve broken down and examined all of Roseman’s draft-day trades since taking the reigns on two separate occasions.

1. 2010
His first draft as general manager, Roseman came out the gate swinging, turning the Eagles’ 2010 second-round selection into six picks over two drafts.
Roseman first traded away two third-rounders to move up for defensive end Brandon Graham in the first round, he then made four more trades over the course of four rounds.
Roseman traded a 1st round draft pick (New England flipped the pick to Dallas who selected WR Dez Bryant) and two 3rd round draft picks to Denver for a 1st round draft choice that would become Brandon Graham.
Roseman then traded a 2nd round draft pick (LB Sean Lee) to Dallas for a 2nd round draft pick that he traded to the Browns for 4th round draft pick.
Roseman then traded a 6th round draft pick in 2011 to Detroit for a 7th round draft pick.
Roseman then traded a 5th round draft pick to San Diego for a 5th round draft choice and a 5th round draft choice in 2011.
Roseman then traded a 3rd round draft choice to Green Bay for a 3rd round draft choice and a 4th round draft choice.
Roseman then traded a 2nd round draft choice to Cleveland for a 3rd round draft choice (later traded to Green Bay) and two 5th round draft choices, one of which was traded to San Diego.
Roseman flipped those picks into Daniel Te’o-Neshiem, Mike Kafka, Clay Harbor, Ricky Sapp, and Riley Cooper while missing out on linebacker Sean Lee.
