The first selection the Eagles make in the 2016 NFL Draft will be one the proverbial “Village Idiot” can make.
There are two quarterbacks rated as having “franchise” potential – Jared Goff from the University of California and Carson Wentz from North Dakota State University.
The Los Angeles Rams traded an aircraft carrier worth of assets to the Tennessee Titans for the first pick and whichever quarterback they want.
The Eagles traded a battleship worth of assets to the Cleveland Browns for the second pick and whoever is left.
Then it will be a 77-player wait until the Birds get to select again, and that is when Howie Roseman and his scouting staff need to earn their stripes.
