What They're (and We're) Saying: 2016 Carson Wentz Draft Edition (NFCE)

So, the NFL draft is over and with our first pick, we selected QB Carson Wentz out of North Dakota. The polls are in and they indicate that a majority of fans agree with the pick.

I began throwing together the "What They’re Saying: 2016 Draft Edition", but kinda enjoyed looking through our own draft experience. Still working on the WTS Draft Edition, but figured I would throw together one for us as well.

Thursday night marked the first time that the Eagles have drafted a QB in the first round since McNabb, and while we were all pretty sure of who we were getting, nothing was set in stone until the Rams, who had the first over all selection, formally announced their pick. With the Rams on the clock @ 8pm, it gave us draft dwellers some time to discuss important issues leading up to our pick, including serious questions, observations, and hopes for the future.

Of course a BGN draft evening wouldn't be complete without a pinch of Negladelphism...

The time had come for the LA Rams to make their selection, pretty much securing our option at QB. Anxiety was at an all time high.

The Rams went on to select their mediocre, 8-8 QB of the future, Jam BraGoff, allowing Wentz to fulfill his destiny as the Eagles Next starting QB.

With our turn to pick, it was natural that Eagles fans experienced some discomfort, as the last couple of draft days included some interesting picks.

In the process of working on a reaction version for everyone's own draft pics, because I would say about 75% percent of the fan bases hated their team's pic and called for their GM's head. Good times.
