I liked this Athletic article about how the Eagles evaluated and eventually pursued and drafted Hurts. My initial reaction was similar after they drafted him. They just had Carson Wentz to a new contract, and drafted a QB in the second round? A QB in the 2nd round is considered borderline starting quarterback, for the future, and the Eagles just had Wentz. Anyway, it all turn out well, except for Wentz.
I feel for Wentz though. Nick Foles stole his thunder, and then they drafted Hurts. No wonder he did not taken the pick well.
