Roseman on Brown Trade: 'A Pick Is A Pick'

After the Eagles shipped receiver A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, Roseman explained his rationale. "A pick is a pick — a first-round pick is a first-round pick," he said. "Doesn't matter. Teams are still going to be playing football in 2028."

Though future first-round picks are generally valued as current second-round picks, Roseman noted the 2028 selection could be higher than the 2026 pick if the Patriots struggle in 2027. The Eagles would have preferred a 2027 first-round pick but still view the trade as a win. likesport.biz
