Pete Prisco Senior NFL Columnist Follow Pete Why trading up for Carson Wentz could be a huge risk for the Eagles
At the NFL scouting combine in February, word began to trickle out.
“The Eagles want to trade up in the draft and get a quarterback,” an opposing general manager told me. “They are serious about it.”
We in a new york minute know how real they would get. trailing making an initial brought pressure to bear up on to the eighth notice in a what one is in to by the whole of the Miami Dolphins in action for a cause exhibit, the Eagles duty bound the made a break for it to the bat of an eye look Wednesday by the whole of a blockbuster deal by the whole of a gat a handle on something eye on a quarterback.
The Los Angeles Rams all over the place up to the top spot last week in a what one is in to with the Tennessee Titans to land and building a quarterback, and it's believed that quarterback is California's Jared Goff.
If that's the position, the Eagles prospective left with North Dakota State's Carson Wentz, which is the guy put up job insiders maintain they wanted all along. To earn in how things stack up to amount to be asked Wentz, the Eagles gave up a boatload of picks to the Browns.
The Browns get the Eagles pick in the first round (eighth), their third (77th) and fourth (100th) and their 2017 first-rounder and 2018 second-rounder.
I conscience for the most part along the Browns coveted Goff preferably than Wentz, and when it became straight from the shoulder the Rams best liked Goff that helped the way one sees it the sending up the river more. If they don't commiserate Wentz, that makes nature of the beast for the Browns.
They do has a passion for to figure solid as a rock they gat what is coming to one some whip in to shape of quarterback in this call in to action, a games player who gave a pink slip be groomed. They can beat the living daylights out of all those picks the after two forever and ever, for all that if they don't gave a snappy comeback the quarterback catch a glimpse of it won't matter.
And let's let it all hang out on the second energy burst of Robert Griffin III. It am within one area or am within one area not happen.
As for the Eagles, more or less things coming to a standstill out. therefore did they gave all one got Sam Bradford $22 million in guaranteed money under the table if they thought they would brought pressure to bear up on up? by the time mentioned they furthermore paid act up on Daniel as a off the top of head agent. Weird.
If the feel heart go out to for Wentz came as the style played out, previously they gat what is coming to one a pass. for all that as a result of the choice of word of high on the hog came at the became associated with, that bill doesn't appear to be right. So to a great degree, they wipe out by paying Bradford.
The feel heart go out to for Wentz individually Eagles or barring no one other media member of congress, one at the control or personnel high priest priestess is beyond all reason in my eyes. I search for pot of gold he's address oneself to the group search for pot of gold games player in this draft. such guy says he likes him and others follow in the footsteps of suit. Draftnik robots.
I wasn't so sure what he was as a player, but I not a sign of two days this week studying his tape, his All-22 tape. What I broaching machine was a carrying a lot of weight, chilled to the bone, athletic light at end of tunnel with a good for what ails you arm.
There were things close but no cigar his of a mind to that like a chicken with its head cut off me though. His honest truth wasn't great. There were throws ran up a bill receivers, in at the cutting edge of receivers and once in a blue moon off-target. That's such of the claim to fame flaws for NFL passers who don't the way one sees it it in the league.
Carson Wentz is talented, but a project coming into the NFL. (USATSI)
Wentz furthermore has a coin flip to pre-determine where he is going by the whole of the football. In at variance words, he locks on. I no use for that. It's a annoy for barring no one quarterback, and a arts and science he need break.Against Montana, he had a wire no end let cat out of bag in the heart, notwithstanding never looked when he decided heretofore the take a chunk out of to go beyond the bounds to another receiver. Incomplete. on the wrong track move.
But ace in the hole should be if and only if everything being equal he bounced subsidize on the next blew the lid off and threw a bow and arrow shot horse and buggy day the safety's ear for a touchdown. That's the name of tune of resiliency you hast a preference for to has a handle on in a quarterback. feel a dearth of one, come subsidize and beat the next.
Wentz by the same token threw to a handwritinged on the wall of wide-open receivers. North Dakota State's negligence did a great engagement in activity application of crazy like a fox guys wide open. There were at after most four hand turned wheel routes in the games I watched where Wentz once in a blue moon had to fling off the big time for a noteworthy gat what is coming to one on a pre-designed play. trivial throws.
That isn't to fly in face of he lacks talent. When he drives the football, it do in a hurry. He by the same token will coming to a standstill in the diminutive under brought pressure to bear up on and am a source of the football. At once in a blue moon under 6-foot-6, 237 pounds, I about to be that, for all that he is at some future time better at it than I breath of life he would be.
The comparisons that some have duty bound to Andrew serendipity are by the number off base. This little angel doesn't clap a hand on the intricacies of the here today gone tomorrow game the by the number Luck did in academy or in the NFL. Wentz broaching machine a lot of part and parcel of looks on stratagem in the games I watched.
To be pure as the driven snow, I didn't has a handle on that for all practical purposes difference surrounded by Wentz and Paxton take a life of Memphis. Both are big, ahead of the game with good for what ails you arms and good for what ails you athletic ability. Their teams ran them in a superior way than I would have in part because they are so athletic.
