Rookie minicamp carries significant weight for the Eagles

The Eagles will be holding their rookie minicamp this weekend down at the NovaCare Complex and for all teams, this is their first opportunity to get a closer look at their rookies. For Philadelphia, the weekend will have much more significance than breaking the new guys in.

Howie Roseman orchestrated a successful NFL Draft where he focused on taking the best talent available with an emphasis on Uber-athletic prospects. With that said, he also left a lot of holes for those players to grow into over the long-term. The salary-cap stricken Eagles were unable to make a real splash in free agency, lending opportunities to younger players across the roster and allowing their new-look coaching staff to do its job and develop that talent over an extended period.
