Speaking to Angelo Cataldi in a radio interview on 94.1 WIP on Monday, Howie Roseman and Joe Douglass talked about a number of subjects, including (gasp!) the Eric Rowe trade, drafting for need vs. best player available, and whether or not Roseman is trying to rid the team of 'Chip Kelly guys.'

Scouts seek out specific players after practice and zero in on them. Here's who the Eagles spoke with after practices today.
