Daily News | On Jalen Hurts and more Eagles topics from Howie Roseman and Nick Sirianni at the NFL combine | Jeff McLane
INDIANAPOLIS — Jalen Hurts is currently the Eagles’ starting quarterback, and odds are he will continue to be when next season opens in six months.
“I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t listen,” Schneider told reporters on Wednesday at the NFL combine. “In terms of players on different teams, no matter what position, don’t feel comfortable [talking] about players on other teams.” Teams have increasingly done better to lock up their own premium talent. If a player is to reach the open market, there is often some baggage. And if not, the Eagles have often avoided getting into extravagant bidding wars .The Eagles own three first-round picks — the 15th, 16th, and 19th overall — and 10 total. Under normal circumstances, that would be more than enough capital to move up for a top quarterback prospect, but many NFL evaluations have deemed this year’s class as underwhelming.
He declined to assess the edge rusher group in this year’s draft — most analysts deem it among the deepest — but it would be a shock if the Eagles didn’t expend one of their first-rounders on the position. “We talked about it at the end of the season; we need Jalen to take another step. We need Jalen to do some of the things we drafted him to do. He knows that. There’s no secret about that. We’ve told him the same things.”
“We have been in communication, we’re hopeful,” the coach said. “There has been no final decision made.” In other words, interested teams will have to make a significant offer — perhaps as much as a first-rounder — to pry Dillard away. His preference would likely be to have an opportunity to start full-time, though.Ultimately, not many. Jonathan Gannon, despite being a finalist for the Texans head coaching job, returned as defensive coordinator.
