Howie Roseman's 2011 draft class featured top pick - and bust - Danny Watkins

Second of seven parts

In the summer of 2011, Howie Roseman sat in his office with an Inquirer reporter and watched film of Danny Watkins.

In retrospect, it's probably an interview he would have rather not given, much like the regret he would later feel after drafting the Baylor guard that spring.

"Look at how he uses his right hand to post!" Roseman raved after screening a play in which Watkins was initially beat, but recovered enough to slow an edge rusher with one hand.

Then the Eagles general manager, Roseman wasn't alone in his praise.
