Roseman: 'A pick is a pick' for Brown trade

Eagles GM Howie Roseman defended the team's trade of receiver A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick, asserting that 'a first-round pick is a first-round pick' regardless of the draft year.

After the Eagles shipped Brown to New England for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, Roseman explained the decision was partly motivated by avoiding cap consequences from trading before June 1. 'We've always been in the mindset a pick is a pick,' Roseman said, noting that teams will still be playing football in 2028.

While many teams value future first-round picks as current second-round selections, and the Eagles would have preferred a 2027 pick, Roseman maintained the trade was a win for acquiring a first-round selection for a player no longer wanted. piekny-pies.pl
