  1. Philadelphia Eagles

Paxton Lynch – QB – Memphis

Going against the norm here. Sam Bradford is a free agent and a new Chip Kelly-less regime is coming to the City of Brotherly Love. What better way to start a new reign than to take a potential franchise quarterback?

Bradford may not have been the problem, but he certainly wasn’t the solution in Philadelphia. With his size, skill and arm strength, Lynch is an ideal quarterback prospect who seldom lost at the college level and the Eagles need some stability at the position.

Chip Kelly really took a bat to this team, so if they don’t go quarterback with their pick there’s plenty of other holes to fill. Conklin and Decker are options at offensive tackle while Shaq Lawson could be plugged into the defensive line to add to the pass rush.
