The Eagles are holding the 4th overall pick which unless the Jacksonville Jaguars look to take Geno Smith well...if the Eagles want him they can go get him. Before I get into Geno and Manuel is QB a need for the Birds? The roster currently holds Michael Vick, Nick Foles, Dennis Dixon, Trent Edwards so they have enough QBs but none are the future of this franchise which brings us to the draft. Its not every year that the Eagles are a 4-12 club so maybe we take advantage and take Chip Kellys QB with Geno. His arm is great he is a confident pocket passer and has some underatted speed and mobility. To me though you might be able to get a better fit for HC Chip Kelly in the second round with a more mobile guy in Florida State QB EJ Manuel. He has already shown interest in being a Eagle as Kelly recruited Manuel out of High School. I personally want to see a QB taken in Philly in the first two rounds now most likely as Kelly said they will not go QB #4 but maybe they trade back and take Geno or take a top notch tackle in Eric Fisher or Lane Johnson and then take a young guy in Manuel. So say the Eagles take Manuel who to me has just as good of an arm as Smith what does this do to the QBs on the roster? To me Foles will be on his way out, he just doesn't fit in the scheme and didn't show much last year he was solid but not spectacular. Michael Vick might start Week 1 but might be unseated by Manuel or hey they could buy out Vick and roll with Manuel. Dennis Dixon to me is a lock to be on this roster I think hes a great backup to help with the scheme that he ran with Kelly in College. Final QB Roster prediction for me is this.
1. EJ Manuel
2. Michael Vick
3. Dennis Dixon
So 3 very mobile guys who can run Kelly's offense and he even said they will need at least 3 guys to ran this offense as they will most likely have some injuries along the road. Geno if picked will start from week 1 and Dixon and Edwards will make the roster it all depends on where they go. They could go neither and take another guy later like Arizona Matt Scott.
