The NFL is a quarterback-driven league and about 17 to 22 teams would gladly give up their signal-caller for the chance to land an elite guy at the position.
ESPN and their NFL Nation reporters re-drafted all 32 franchise quarterbacks around the league under the assumption that they were released from their contracts and re-drafted to new teams.
The list isn’t a clear ranking for all the teams but based on where Carson Wentz landed in the re-draft, the Eagles star isn’t receiving the Rodney Dangerfield treatment, as there was some respect put on his name.
Even though he landed behind Dak Prescott, Wentz still went high in the list, landing at No. 7.
7. Carson Wentz
Selected No. 11 overall in the NFL re-draft by Rich Cimini to the JetsWe already know the ceiling for Wentz, as he flexed it back during the 2017 season. He can be the MVP of the NFL (he likely would have been if not for a December ACL tear that season). Wentz’s accuracy, ability to keep plays alive and creativity inside the pocket are all exceptional. He’s a player who has shown himself capable of raising the level of play of others around him. There’s just one question, which is durability: While the Eagles have been to the playoffs for three straight years, Wentz has not been on the field at the end of any of their final playoff games within those seasons.
There are no questions about Wentz’s status around the league or where he ranks alongside his peers. The Eagles franchise quarterback simply needs to stay healthy and he’ll silence all of the critics this season.
Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson came off the board No. 1 and No. 2 while Philip Rivers was the final quarterback selected out of the group.
