Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagle

[Don Ho]

Part of me is holding out hope they're flipping him to the Jags for Ngawouke but I think we would have heard rumblings by now

Now that is interesting!

Even if he is the next Taysom Hill that novelty on offense isn't worth a 2nd round pick/backup

exactly, which is why they took him to be the starter. or at least this is a possible scenario. then its worth it...but you better be right that hes going to be SPECIAL and yea 0 people think this.

you know its actually a worse pick if they took him to be their future starting QB over carson wentz than if they did for trick play offense reasons?

theoretically you are never wrong to take a qb should that qb turn out to be really good. will hurts be really good? no. but they obviously seem to think so.

HE CANNOT PLAY QB IN THE NFL

he could barely play it in college

this jew said this

it makes perfect sense....wentz isnt making another contract

they are going to get 2-3 more years out him then move to hurts.

nobody

didnt mean you as in marginassi...you as in anybody

nobody takes a qb in the 2nd round to be a 1 contract backup/trade bait and gimmick player. they are drafted to be starters. i dont know how else to look at this.

[Eagaholic]

So we addressed punt returner and back up qb so far...guess we're taking a long snapper in the 3rd

That's the secret plan why they drafted Hurts. He's also going to be the long snapper. Dual threat. Hope this is all coming together for everyone now.

i take back everything. the eagles are going to reinvent football

i know you didnt mean me im saying it it was you that said its a defensible maybe even a good pick if hes a carson replacement which is ludicrous

The only scenario that makes sense is they've either given up on AO1 and will use Hurts as his replacement or they took him for someone else. 

I mean it's insane in every possible sense of the word, but it is plausible.

If Howie picked him as a gimmick, then he gotta go.

This sums it up nicely

What the hell is this? Unless the Eagles have a trade lined up where they can ship Jalen Hurts, this makes absolutely no sense, and I think Howie Roseman has lost his mind. There's no reason to take a quarterback here, period, with Carson Wentz not even in his prime yet. And yet, this is a major reach. Jalen Hurts' ceiling is very low, so he should've been a fourth-round pick. This is the worst pick of the draft so far unless a trade is pending.

Eagles plan to try to win games 42-40

Defense? For who? For what?
