Despite retaining Sam Bradford and signing career backup Chase Daniels, the Philadelphia Eagles are not done adding to their quarterback depth.
With the eight overall pick now in their pocket, the chance of the Eagles being able to draft a quarterback in the first round is significantly higher.
The Eagles brass has been out in full force recently, including private workouts and meetings with some of the top quarterbacks in this years draft class.
Eagles owner Jeff Lurie, General Manager Howie Roseman, and Head Coach Doug Pederson met with Carson Wentz in Fargo, North Dakota for dinner

Out of North Dakota State, Wentz is projected to be the first quarterback taken off of the board by many outlets.
Pederson and Roseman were also seen on a flight to California. They were believed to be visiting Jared Goff from Cal and Kevin Hogan of Stanford.
The Eagles are hosting Christian Hackenberg for a private workout.
Paxton Lynch is also getting a workout with the team. It’s clear that the fact they are looking at the top guys on most draft boards that they are not satisfied with sticking with Sam Bradford.
Some Eagles fans were content with letting Chase Daniels be a bridge quarterback heading into the 2017 draft where much more talent is projected at the quarterback position. It may just be that Sam Bradford is that guy who will play placeholder for 2016 while the Eagles build their defense and offensive line.
None the less, many are projecting the Eagles to be interested in the quarterback position early in this years draft. With no second round pick, their chances of getting a high-end passer in 2016.
