NFL Draft blog: Rams and Eagles take QBs with top picks

Philadelphia: No. 2- Carson Wentz, QB, NDSU

Carson Wentz is going from little-known North Dakota State to the NFL after being taken with the second overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles, who traded with the Cleveland Browns to move up eight spots in the draft and take Wentz.

Sam Bradford just signed a two-year deal to stay with the Eagles, so it's an interesting move for Philadelphia to move up to take a quarterback, mostly because Wentz will almost assuredly be relegated to the backup role this coming season.

Wentz won two FCS national championships with the Bison and is more of a pro-style quarterback than top pick Jared Goff.
