Eagles select Hurts in 2nd round; Fans inflamed….<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Eagle Nation is not happy with General Manager Howie Roseman and his choice of Jalen Hurts as the second round draft choice in the NFL draft Friday night.\u00a0 Philadelphia fans are voicing their disapproval of the quarterback from the Oklahoma Sooners, via the Alabama Crimson Tide.\u00a0\u00a0 From Chris Meuller, Yardbarker.com:\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

If you\u2019d like to see what pure, raw anger looks like, head to Twitter and search \u201cHowie.\u201d Eagles fans were incredulous, furious and calling for their general manager\u2019s head after the pick. Even grading on the Eagles fan curve, where polite booing is actually a way to express happiness, the takedowns were brutal. Roseman might be the only person happy about being cooped up in his house; if he\u2019s paying attention to the fans, he won\u2019t want to show his face in public for a while.<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
The Philadelphia Enquirer<\/em> was just as brutal toward the General Manager.\u00a0 The pick was not expected, especially with the talent still on the board according to the Enquirer.\u00a0 As of the newspaper, “with touted star-level talents remaining on the board at many positions, including wide receiver (Denzel Mims from Baylor), safety (Jeremy Chinn from Southern Illinois) and cornerback (Kristian Fulton from LSU),” Roseman fouled up in his Hurts choice.<\/span><\/h6>\n

<\/h6>\n
Eagle quarterback Carson Wentz is 27 with a four-year, $128 million contract last year and the\u00a0\u00a0 “stunning move” by Roseman, the newpaper says, is “seemingly an admission of doubt about the franchise\u2019s plan to build around Wentz for the next decade.”\u00a0 <\/span><\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
All is not good in the town of the always disgruntled fans.\u00a0 The newspaper says that the pick seems to undermined Wentz as the leader of the team.\u00a0 Is team\/fan loyalty issues next for the Eagles as of this pick. Those in the City of Brotherly Love seem to think so. The love is not so brotherly with regard to Roseman and the Eagle fans.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
Further comments by Eagle’s passing game coach Press Taylor seems to add fuel to a possible fire for franchise. He says,\u00a0 Hurts “stood out \u2014 his strength, his ability to throw and run and make plays,\u201d Weidl said. \u201cHe\u2019s part of the new guard of mobile quarterbacks in the league, throwing it or running it. Just an uncanny toughness, poise, and his competitiveness. A natural leader that\u2019s led two college football teams to conference championships.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n
