I also had mailbags published on Tuesday and Thursday this week, so be sure to give those a read as well. Anyway, let’s get on with it… Jarvin Driftwood : What do you think the odds are that the Eagles take a QB on Day 2? My gut take is that there’s a pretty good chance of that.

This isn’t an immediate overreaction to t he ESPN story from Jeremy Fowler and Tim McManus this week about Jalen Hurts . It’s more so taking a step back and looking at how the franchise has operated for a couple decades now. The “quarterback factory” bit was eye roll-worthy when it was first uttered, but it’s continued to prove true in the years since.

I was still a huge Carson Wentz proponent after the 2019 season and was among the many, many Eagles fans out there shocked and angered when the Birds drafted Jalen Hurts in the second round in 2020. It worked itself out! The hit rate of Day 2 quarterbacks isn’t nearly as good as it is for first-round picks, but there’s nothing more valuable in the sport than a good, young QB on a cheap rookie-scale contract.
