North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz has drawn serious interest from the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Eagles want to try to trade up to draft him, according to NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein. ‘I know [Eagles head coach] Doug Pederson loves him,’ Zierlein said. ‘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 [to trade up for Wentz].’

Footballguys View: At this point last year they “wanted Mariota” so we’ll take that in the spirit of complete and utter disbelief, although Zierlein is definitely plugged in. That’s not to say that the Eagles wouldn’t love Wentz to fall to them but as Zierlein points out, it’s tough to move up and be certain you’ll get him. Certainly this could be an indication which supports the idea that Sam Bradford doesn’t have the franchise’s complete faith.
