Perfect mid/late-round QB fits for Eagles in 2022 NFL draft

Jalen Hurts is firmly entrenched as #FlyEaglesFly starting signal-caller but the QB factory must continue and so we’ve listed the perfect mid/late-round QB fits for the #Eagles in the #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2022

Jalen Hurts has done enough to warrant becoming the Eagles franchise quarterback going forward, so the 2022 NFL Draft process should be all about surrounding the dual-threat passer with weapons on both sides of the ball.

Philadelphia considers itself a quarterback factory, so even as the organization appears comfortable moving on with Hurts, Howie Roseman is still likely to add a young signal-caller during the draft process.

Gardner Minshew wants to be a starter and could be the subject of trades talks in March, while Reid Sinnett could remain on the roster and be subjected to waivers in a salary-cap move.

If Roseman does target a quarterback in the draft, the hope is that Philadelphia’s general manager has learned from the Carson Wentz saga, and will instead look to the mid or late rounds for his next project or asset.

Here are several mid to late-round quarterback prospects that the Eagles could look to target.

NFL draft fans haven’t paid much attention to Eastern Washington since Cooper Kupp was dominating opposing defenses for the Eagles, but it’s time for them to return their attentions to small town of Cheney.

That’s because their current quarterback, Eric Barriere just dropped some “NCAA Football 14 on freshman difficulty” numbers against Idaho on Saturday.

Barriere threw for 600 yards and seven touchdowns in a 71-21 victory, with no interceptions.

The 6-1, 210-pound senior is sure to turn some heads in the NFL scouting community after that performance, and with good reason.

Freddie Roberson, Andrew Boston, and Dennis Merritt were over 100 yards receiving.

Barriere ended the day in sole possession of second place with 103 touchdown passes at EWU, seven away from tying Vernon Adams Jr.’s record.
