How The Eagles Fell In Love With Hurts

 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.

Post Draft Thoughts Part 1

Thoughts

1. Myles Garrett picked no 1 by the Browns. Smart move by the Browns playing smoke and mirrors, but Garrett is a safe pick. Trubisky? Go to no 2.

2. John Lynch plays poker with the Bears and Bears get Trubisky. Trubisky is a risky pick, but that shows how valuable a qb is in the league. Matt Glennon, enjoy the Bears gig, all the best!

3. I am rooting for Deshaun Watson to be a success for the Texans. I think he can better than Cam, in the long run.

4. Dalvin Cook over Leonard Fournette anytime. Both went to teams who will use them well.

5. My Skins made nice picks in the Bama boys :)
