The Philadelphia Eagles are just hours from being on the NFL draft clock and Howie Roseman will have a huge decision to make on the personnel front.
Roseman will indeed target wide receivers with his eight picks, but the questions and concerns center around who and when.
Roseman is known for being an active participant on draft night and his perfection with the salary cap is second to none. It’s Roseman’s player analysis and penchant for missing on players that have some Eagles fans nervous.
The Eagles have drafted eight wide receivers since Roseman became the Eagles general manager in 2010. Only Riley Cooper and Nelson Agholor can be deemed anything close to being successful.
With the Eagles not guaranteed a shot at the big four of Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs, and Jefferson, it’ll be even more pertinent for Roseman to make the correct decision on wide receivers in the draft.
With Roseman set to be on the clock, here’s a list of the previous wide receivers drafted under Howie as GM.

2010.
Riley Cooper, Florida, Round-5, Pick 159 overall
Most known for his comments at a Kenny Chesney concert, the former Florida Gators star was the first wideout drafted under Roseman.
Cooper spent six seasons with the Eagles, catching 169 balls in 88 total games, for 2,418 yards, and 18 career touchdowns.
His best season came in 2013 when Cooper caught 47 balls for 837 yards and 8 touchdowns.
