53. Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts | QB | Oklahoma
Last night’s big surprise was the Packers trading up for Aaron Rodgers’ eventual replacement, and it looks like the Eagles just pulled a similar move by taking Hurts here.
One of the biggest wild-cards in this year’s draft, Hurts made huge strides as a passer in his senior season at Oklahoma. There’s no denying his intangibles and leadership, but he answered the biggest concerns about his skill set this past season.
The fit is intriguing with Carson Wentz in Philly, but the backup quarterback spot has proven its value for this team if it ever has for anyone. Keep an eye on this one moving forward.
