“We look at the draft as kind of long-term decisions,” Roseman said. “We don’t want to just draft for immediate needs. It would be great if that’s what ends up happening with the right players. But we have gotten in problems here where we’ve said, ‘Hey, we have a need at this position, let’s draft the best guy at this position.'”
The Eagles could end up losing both starting linebackers in free agency in T.J. Edwards and Kyzir White. While Nakobe Dean is a clear choice to replace one of them, the Eagles will need to add depth as Kyron Johnson, Shaun Bradley, Christian Elliss and Davion Taylor are the only other inside linebackers on the 90-man roster. Dennis had 7 sacks last season as a senior.
