MOBILE, Ala. – As the Eagles decamped to this bayside city for Senior Bowl week, it sure seemed the brain trust was acutely aware of a lack of public confidence in the personnel acumen of de facto general manager Howie Roseman.
The team website's preview of this week of college all-star prospect evaluation was given by first-year player personnel vice president Joe Douglas. Douglas also accompanied Roseman to Monday's appearance on the 94WIP morning show, and when host Angelo Cataldi brought up Roseman's contention that most of his draft misses have been a result of reaching for "need" positions, Roseman quickly turned the conversation to Douglas, hired after last year's draft from the Bears, but boasting a long prior tenure in the highly regarded Ravens personnel operation.
