Eagles GM Roseman on Safety Shifts

0:00On March 31st, Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman dropped some real talk ahead of the NFL scouting combine last February. He shifting his view on tight ends, always loving the pass catchers, but now stressing blockers too as the games evolved. That mindset might spill over to safety, where he grabbed Drew McCuba in the second round last year at the 64th pick. Roseman's seeing the need for diverse skills across positions, especially after some roster tweaks. The Eagles' less-safety read-blankenship hit free agency and traded Sydney Brown to the Falcons, leaving gaps behind. Marcus Ebb steps up as the vet anchor with his steady play and leadership. They also brought in J.T. Gray, who's a special team's ace, but light on defensive snaps over his eight-year career. There are question marks by maybe shifting Michael Carter from Cornerback, where he played at Duke or elevating practice squad guy, Andre Sam. Roseman flat-out said the safety spot still a work in progress with the draft looming on April 24th and plenty of talent out there to build around.
