The Philadelphia Eagles won’t find better prospects than Hurts in 2022’s class.

To replace Jalen Hurts, there must first be a prospect worthy of taking. Ask yourselves a serious question. Have you taken a moment to look over the 2022 draft class at the quarterback position? There isn’t much there.

If Philly had any intention of investing any draft capital into the quarterback position, they should have done it in 2021. The most recent draft class was rich with players at the quarterback position with a lot of upside and potential: Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields.

The 2022 NFL Draft class won’t have anyone as gifted as Trevor Lawrence. The 2022 draft class doesn’t have a Justin Fields or a Trey Lance. Heck, the next draft class may not have a Mac Jones or a Davis Mills.

As we move towards the next selection meeting, here’s a list of quarterbacks whose names you may hear more often: Matt Corral (Ole Miss), Malik Willis (Liberty), Sam Howell (North Carolina), Spencer Rattler (Oklahoma), Desmond Ridder (Cincinnati), Kenny Pickett (Pittsburgh), Aqeel Glass (Alabama A&M). Do you see where this is headed?
