Michael Conroy/Associated Press

One of the more creative minds in football is Eagles coach Doug Pederson.

One of the most brittle quarterbacks in football is Carson Wentz.

One of the most versatile and talented athletes in the draft is Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Combine all of that, and you understand why the Philadelphia Eagles took Hurts in the second round on Friday in one of the more surprising—but brilliant—picks of the draft.

Two teams with whom B/R communicated said they felt this was one of the best selections because it's a perfect fit for both the Eagles and Hurts.
