5 QBs the Philadelphia Eagles could bring in to compete with Jalen Hurts
By David Esser
Mystery rookie QB!?
Last but not least, the potential for the Philadelphia Eagles to add to their “quarterback factory” through the 2021 NFL Draft is very much a real possibility this offseason.
Right off the bat, the Eagles are going to have to make a decision with the sixth pick.
If either Justin Fields or Zach Wilson are still available at that spot (they probably won’t be), it might be tough for Howie Roseman to pass on the opportunity to completely reboot the franchise with a new quarterback altogether. Even someone like Trey Lance might entice Roseman.
If the Eagles opt away from drafting a QB at pick #6, snagging another young arm in one of the mid-to-late rounds is equally as in play.
While most people interpreted the Eagles looking to bring in QB competition this offseason as Howie looking to add in a veteran alongside Jalen Hurts, that doesn’t have to be the case. Simply drafting another rookie in the spring to battle it out with Hurts during training camp could totally be the strategy the Philly front office is employing at the moment.

Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles proved during the 2020 Draft that they don’t really value the quarterback position the same way the rest of the NFL does, so I would in all honesty keep everything in play when attempting to determine who will make up the team’s QB room moving forward.
