The Facts: As the Eagles bid a fond farewell to Carson Wentz on Wednesday, the team's brain trust also began looking to the future. Despite a report last week that team owner Jeffrey Lurie has instructed the team's decision-makers to prioritize making Hurts successful in 2021, as opposed to creating a quarterback competition, the Eagles aren't closing the door on drafting a quarterback with the sixth overall choice. GM Howie Roseman said the Eagles "won't put a cap on what we're going to do at that position."
Diehards Line:They expect to consider every option as they address depth and competition at quarterback. Why should they say anything otherwise? It is in the team's best interest to keep other teams guessing about their intent on draft day. Hurts, a second-round choice in 2020, is the only quarterback under contract and thus the presumed starter. The 22-year old started four games late last season, going 1-3 with 1,061 passing yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions. Hurts added 354 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.
