54. Doug Pederson is no fool.  As an offensive-minded guy, he knows this modern NFL runs through the quarterback position.  With Sam Bradford a 50/50 chance at best to stay, the Philadelphia Eagles must prepare to do whatever they can to get a quarterback for their future, including a trade up in the 1st round. <p>That is what they’re forced into.  Swinging a deal with Baltimore, they jump up to grab two-time FCS national champion Carson Wentz.   One of the hot names on the scouting circuit, he is a tall 6’6″ quarterback with better than average speed, creating plays with his legs.  He’s got a solid, over-the-top delivery that has velocity and good ball placement.  Physically he’s the total package.  Time will tell if the jump in competition reveals a problem.</p>. QB. North Dakota State. Carson Wentz. 6. player
