27. Philadelphia Eagles 2020 NFL Draft
– Really, Philadelphia. What are you going to do with Jalen Hurts? You don’t take a quarterback with the 53rd overall pick just to design a few packages for him, and he’s not a receiver or special teamer. Basically, a team that had a whole lot of needs just got the guy who can step in and play when – not if – Carson Wentz gets hurt again. But if Wentz is able to stay in one piece, this big call might not work.

– The rest of the draft is a big bag of whatever. The Hurts picks was actually inspired – it’s taking a chance on greatness – but that’s about it. Taking a fun wide receiver playmaker in Jalen Reagor one spot ahead of LSU’s Justin Jefferson will make or break the Eagle draft.
– Five of the team’s picks came from the fifth round on. Southern Miss WR Quez Watkins and Auburn OT Prince Tega Wanogho in the sixth could be fantastic.
Best Value Pick: WR Quez Watkins, Southern Miss (6th)
Biggest Reach: LB Davion Taylor, Colorado (3rd)
Late Flier That Could Work: OT Prince Tega Wanogho, Auburn (6th)
