I hate this pick as much as the next guy, but there could be more to it. Maybe Carson has bigger health issues? Maybe the team (read: the players) don't like him or something? Idk trying to rationalize this
There’s probably some level of concern with Wentz & wanting security. But I think the Taysom Hill factor & just falling in love with Hurts the person is honestly more prevalent in the selection.
Like honestly if you’re a team that drafts a lot & has a good development system in place it’s not crazy to take a development QB even if you don’t really have much use for them. As you could flip them at later date possibly for better draft capital. New England would do it for example as would Andy Reid.
But that’s obviously not the case with the Eagles & this pick. They don’t have that luxury to make that pick there with so many needs & their poor draft history as of late.
