A few weeks ago, Howie Roseman spoke to the media for the first time since trading Carson Wentz and discussed his other major offseason decisions-from the 2021 NFL Draft The 6th pick went back to 12th.

In defending this move, he explained that he wanted Eagles to have options and “Flexibility creates opportunities“This means that he will be able to make a variety of different decisions based on the decline in chips during the important draft weekend.

Immediately afterwards, the transaction received various comments, but the facts proved that his view was correct. Bird will be able to get an additional first-round pick in 2022 (they returned to 12 in the trade), while also being able to move up two positions to get the one they want back to the No. 6 pick and expand the scope of the draft. . DeVonta Smith.

But maybe this is not actually Flexibility to create opportunities, Roseman talked about it.

Maybe he meant it from a longer-term perspective. Perhaps what he meant was about the most important position in all sports: the quarterback.

The first show in 2021 is the loss of Jalen Hurts-the Hawks’ second-round pick a year ago has the means to succeed, from a healthy and energetic offensive line to Smith anchoring an improved hunger attack, and then to Multi-faceted running.

The Eagles will learn what they have in injury. Then, by 2022, they will have the right to choose. In fact, they have almost all options.

The injury proves that he is a man

This may be an ideal situation, but no one can really be sure whether this is a possible situation. Hurts showed a flash when he took over from Wentz in 2020 and showed that he is a capable NFL offensive playmaker.

He also played with a group of brutal, inexperienced receivers and behind the temporary offensive line. It is difficult to correctly evaluate his performance since last year.

His accuracy and decision-making ability are sometimes unsatisfactory, but after all, he is a rookie with poor offensive performance and is designed for others to participate. Injuries will have a greater chance of success in 2021. The problem is that defense can become scary, Nick Sirianni’s coaching staff is a brand new brand, and losing the record may also force the Eagles to play, even in a weak department like NFC East. Good value for money, The Eagles have a +550 chance of winning According to Pickswise, this year is led by Hutts.

However, if they get the final position again, the Eagles may fall into another top ten, and they have no choice but to…

Drafting of franchise QB

There is no Trevor Lawrence-like prospect, but the Hawks may have 3 first-round picks and 8 of the first 5 rounds (including two draft picks, which are based on Birds’ own picks and Miami’s draft pick), Philadelphia may sit in the driver’s seat to boost any QB qualifications it wants in the 2022 draft.

The value of NFL insider Peter King lies in Consider their capital draft: “Obviously, the Eagles will become a powerful agent next spring. I bet the cheese steak general manager Howie Roseman (Howie Roseman) has not completed the first round of the transaction.”

What kind of cheese steak?

It does make sense. Sam Howell of UNC, Spender Rattler of Oklahoma, JT Daniels of Georgia and others will be watched. With so many ammunition sitting in the driver’s seat like this, it is rare that Rothman will undoubtedly give himself a chance to make him fall in love with the prospect of a quarterback and try to revitalize his legendary factory.

Change to an aging superstar

However, this is not the only thing that the excess funds can be used to solve.

Aaron Rodgers is dissatisfied. Russell Wilson (Russell Wilson) is the same. Kirk Cousins ??and Jimmy Garoppolo can be bought at reasonable prices. Are the Eagles interested? Should it be?

It’s hard to avoid seeing the Hawks connect with the well-known QB, but it seems to take the liberty to consider collateralizing the future to add one of them to an unprepared team (especially the defense) to compete for a playoff spot without wasting a lot of resources.

But there is another big-name veteran there, he may be younger, and may be the missing part of the puzzle…

Seize Watson’s opportunity

And Deshaun Watson (Deshaun Watson) has been mentioned many times for the Eagles, the latter wanted to leave Houston at the beginning of the offseason, but if his legal problems can’t be resolved soon, he may withdraw National Football League (NFL). After countless allegations of sexual assault (in fact, nearly two of them), Watson’s future has been questioned, but the rumors continue to spread.This is the latest of these, from Peter King at NBC’s professional football lecture:

I think that predicting Deshaun Watson’s future is full of hope, it is impossible. I just think that one year from today, he will have a new home. This is an intuition. Many legal issues are involved and the future cannot be predicted. And, depending on the outcome of the case, several teams may not even want to consider Watson. If he can play football freely in 2022 without being bound by legal issues, then my odds for Watson’s next football team are the highest:

3-1: Philadelphia. The possible need, plus the Hawks are in the best position to handle the three first-round picks (if Carson Wentz played three-quarters of the Indy season).

3-1: Carolina. Owner David Tepper (David Tepper) will find resources to conduct transactions. [Pro Football Talk]

This is the Hawks’ recognition of Watson, the odds are 3-1. The future development is also very far away. There are many different variables, from everything we discussed above to all the possible outcomes of Watson and his problems, and even his departure from Houston, it is impossible to reasonably predict or predict from the perspective of football. It works.

However, it is certainly possible that Hawks fans should begin to prepare for almost any choice, because Philadelphia hopes to find the next QB1. Jalen Hurts? Star veteran? Top picks? It seems that both Rothman and the Eagles are on the table.
