Examining Options If Eagles Trade Tanner McKee

One question is at what point in the draft would they take one? Roseman attempted an answer to that during his 15 minutes at the podium from Indianapolis and the Scouting Combine.

“It’s staying true to your board and making sure that at every position that you’re grading them clearly based on their value in the league, what kind of players they are, what they’re going to be in the league at what you project them to be, but you don’t have any guarantees on that,” he said. “You stack the board, and then you stack it horizontally and vertically, then when you get into the draft, you look where you are then you have the conversations about this or that at every position, including quarterback.”

The Eagles spent one of their picks in last year’s picks on local product Kyle McCord, who was taken in the sixth round and spent the season on the practice squad. He was picked up after the season by the Green Bay Packers. So, Roseman and company will likely try again in the draft.

Another question pertaining to the draft would be is there anybody good enough at the position to stick on an NFL roster?

It’s not considered a good class for QBs. It’s Fernando Mendoza, then who? Ty Simpson? Garrett Nussmeier? Taylen Green? Drew Allar?

The quarterbacks will work out at the Scouting Combine at 3 p.m. on Friday, along with receivers and running backs. It will be televised on the NFL Network.

Two other replenishment options would be in play: free agency and trades.

It’s not a strong free-agent crop of quarterbacks, and trades don’t always deliver the desired result. Last year, Roseman traded with the Browns for Dorian Thompson-Robinson and, later in training camp, with the Vikings for Sam Howell, who spent the season as the No. 3.
