Last year was a bit unusual for Eagles GM Howie Roseman in the NFL Draft. Instead of making a trade, he sat patiently and drafted Quinyon Mitchell at No. 22 overall.

But it's a new year. And NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah thinks this could be a time for Roseman to move up in the draft, especially because the Eagles are projected to have 20 picks in the next two years. Jeremiah was on the latest Takeoff with John Clark to talk about what his former boss, Roseman, might do in the upcoming draft with all these picks in his pocket.

"I think there's so many people that want to get out in this draft, that are trading back. What has Howie done his entire career? He's zigged when everyone else has zagged. And he's going to be able to see if we have a premier player start to slip, man, they're armed.

They're armed and ready to go. I'm sure we get to it..
