player. 54. <p>The Eagles are nowhere near where they thought they’d be after the Chip Kelly experiment, and the biggest hole to fill this off-season is at quarterback.</p> <p>Sam Bradford doesn’t appear to be coming back to Philly, and without a quarterback, you don’t have an offense.  Now, this may be the only mock draft where you see a quarterback going this late, but this is really the only situation which is quarterback ready.</p> <p>The Eagles should look to improve the offensive line later in the draft as well.  If they do so, DeMarco Murray or Ryan Matthews can improve upon a rushing offense which looked effective at times, and disappeared at others.</p> <p>The receiver group isn’t the best, but it isn’t the worst either, and if Nelson Agholor can make good on his first round selection last year, Goff could have some tools in place to have a solid rookie season.</p>. QB. Cal. Jared Goff. 13
