NFL Draft analyst mocks Trey Lance to Eagles

In the immediate aftermath of the Eagles’ decision to trade Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts, there have been differing opinions about whether the Eagles should-or will-draft a quarterback in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The Eagles selected Jalen Hurts in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, but the expectation was that Hurts would be an affordable backup to Wentz with some upside.

Hurts flashed some potential during his brief stint as starter near the end of the season, but he also experienced his fair share of struggles. The organization is reportedly optimistic about Hurts, but they may not be completely sold on him. On top of that, it’s rare for teams to pick near to the top of the draft, especially when there is what appears to be a deep quarterback class.

Trey Lance would be a controversial choice for multiple reasons. For one, some believe that the Eagles should give Jalen Hurts a chance to start in 2021 and prove that he can be the long-term answer at the position. Oh, and there’s also the fact that Trey Lance went to school at North Dakota State, the same small school program that produced Carson Wentz.

Should the fact that Lance went to the same college as Wentz matter? No.

Will it matter? Maybe.

Lance would be repeatedly compared to Wentz. The Philadelphia media would beat that story to death. Fan reactions would be mixed. Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie shouldn’t care about any of those things, but it’s hard to predict how that duo will handle things these days.
