From Unknown to Unstoppable: Why Alabama QB Ty Simpson is This Year’s NFL Draft Enigma

This is a sneaky one and not anything that I think would be in play for the 23rd overall pick. That said, I can’t get it out of my mind that general manager Howie Roseman stunned everyone — including some people inside his own organization — when he decided to take Jalen Hurts with the 53rd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. As the pick-from-your-home-office COVID draft, it feels like a lifetime ago. And maybe people forget that at the time, it seemed unthinkable that the Eagles would take a quarterback in the second round with Carson Wentz already entrenched as a young franchise starter. But Roseman saw two things: Wentz being difficult to coach and value in Hurts. I doubt Roseman would be that bold twice, but I put nothing past him if Simpson were to somehow trickle down to the 54th overall pick.
