Eagles

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com mentioned during an interview with 97.5 the Fanatic that the Eagles have interest in North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz and consider him to be the No. 1 prospect in this year’s draft class.

“Make no mistake about it, I still think the Eagles first and foremost are trying to find a way to get Carson Wentz,” Zierlein said, via PhillyMag.com. “I know Doug Pederson loves him. I know that from people behind the scenes, in the know. That’s who he wants and that’s who he likes. It’s just going to be tough.”

Zierlein added that the top two picks could both be for sale if someone is looking to move up that far.

“I think one or two could be for sale. For the first time in quite a while I do think there is at least a 50-50 chance that No. 1 or No. 2 is a potential trade-out spot,” said Zierlein. “Usually we talk about it a lot, it doesn’t happen, but I think it could happen this year because of the amount of excitement that Carson Wentz is generating in this draft.”
