The first-round draft pick, quarterback Carson Wentz, could very well spend the 2016 season in the NFL’s version of mothballs, on the sidelines on gamedays holding a clipboard. We’ll see how that transpires. You know the vision for the quarterback position, and barring a sudden change of plans, that’s not going to change. But it doesn’t mean the 2016 Rookie Class will be idle for the Eagles.
In fact, and this is a way-too-early call, it is possible the Eagles could have at least three significant contributors from the draft in Year 1. Third-round pick Isaac Seumalo is still catching up after missing most of the spring practices due to the NCAA graduation rule, but he’s here now and he cuts an impressive figure at left guard with his size, athletic feet and natural movement.
