The Philadelphia Eagles were hoping to repeat as Super Bowl champions in 2025. Instead, the team didn't get past the Wild Card round.

Now, the team is hoping to reload enough this offseason to get back to contention in 2026. In free agency, the Eagles haven't been super busy, but they've added a couple of nice pieces. Riq Woolen should help out the secondary, while wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks Hollywood Brown should improve the pass-catcher room.

In the 2026 draft, the team will likely want players who can contribute immediately. However, one analyst thinks the team will actually use one of its top 100 picks on a luxury- an intriguing quarterback.

Eagles predicted to draft potential QB2 in 2026

Mike Renner of CBS Sports recently published a three-round mock, and in it, Renner has the Eagles drafting Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green with the No. 98 pick.

Green is an intriguing prospect, especially for a team like the Eagles. Green has plenty of college experience, having played 28 games for Boise State and 25 for Arkansas. The quarterback shined even on some bad Arkansas teams, and could have a future in the right system.

In 2025, Green threw for 2,714 yards with 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while completing 60.7% of his passes. The quarterback also made plenty of plays with his legs, rushing for 777 yards and eight more scores.

Green has prototypical quarterback size, standing at a massive six-foot-six, but he has the legs to be a true dual-threat as well. The quarterback doesn't have pinpoint accuracy, but he also didn't have the best supporting cast at Arkansas.

On paper, it doesn't really seem like using a top 100 pick on a quarterback makes much sense for the Eagles. The team has Jalen Hurts locked in as the starter while Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee are on the roster behind him.

McKee was once looked at as a potential player, but his results when forced into action in 2025 weren't that promising. It's possible that a dual-threat, big-armed quarterback like Green could outshine McKee and take over the QB2 role eventually.

A quarterback like Green also makes sense just as insurance for Hurts. Hurts and Green are both mobile quarterbacks from the SEC, while the veteran Dalton, and McKee, are more standard pocket passers. If anything were to happen to Hurts, there's a real possibility Green could run the offense better than the other options.
