The Philadelphia Eagles have never been afraid to think two steps ahead, especially at quarterback. And league insiders are already wondering if Howie Roseman could pull another proactive move this April.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, one scenario gaining traction is Philadelphia targeting a QB as early as Day 2:

“One question around the league is do they draft a quarterback, maybe in Day 2? Apply a little bit of pressure on Jalen Hurts, who I believe is at a crossroad right now after the way last season went. And Jalen Hurts was drafted in the second round, eventually replaced Carson Wentz, who got a massive deal just that offseason before. Does that same thing now happen to Jalen Hurts eventually?”

It sounds familiar because it should.

The Eagles did this once already with Jalen Hurts, drafting him in Round 2 while Carson Wentz was fresh off a massive extension. A few years later, Hurts was the guy.

Smart teams, and the Eagles have traditionally been one of them, are always hunting for the “next guy,” because you never know when a Bryce Paup moment might happen.

This wouldn’t be about replacing Hurts tomorrow. It would be about leverage, competition, and solidifying the most important position on the field.
