Roseman confirmed to the media that Donahoe was upset because he wanted the team to pick another player.
Howie Roseman on the video of Tom Donahoe's reaction after the #Eagles took Milton Williams: "These guys spend all year scouting these guys and you get favorites, guys you feel strongly about, we all do. That's the fun part of being in the draft room, the emotions of it."
