Please !!!!!!! No more scrambling QB's. Draft Chance Wartmack for the blocking up the middle, have our QB sit back tere and fire.

The Eagles are going to need a quarterback, if not this season soon. If Kelly has any abilities, he's going to find some success with the skill position players he has. That being my prognosis, I don't expect the Eagles to be in the position to select within the top 5 picks again.

If there's remotely a chance to acquire a franchise Quarterback in this draft without reaching but truly getting in on the best player available, they should get a Quarterback and come back in round 2 and select a capable Offensive Tackle to also develop.

The Crux of a team seems to be a QB and Tackle. I don't see a lot of game changing defenders in this draft. the talent is spread out and in the first 67 players the Eagles have 3 picks. There is no reason they can't come away with some solid contributors to reinforce their foundation.
