[ColtV]

[Mr.Debonair]

Lol cmon man 

[danlhart87]

Just woke up thanks

 

[HectorRoberts]

Pack your bags wentz!!!

[GoColts8818]

Thought they would bring an undrafted kid to compete with Eason for the backup job.  Interesting they use a draft pick on it.  

[jvan1973]

Headed for the practice squad 

[danlhart87]

so glad we drafted a longhorn 

[Pelt]

Wentz just demanded a trade...

[LiveAndLetAddai]

 Believe it or not, I thought they would go for a developmental QB late in the draft.

Most likely.

OK, gotta admit, did NOT see that coming. I'm laughing hysterically cuz I actually like Ehlinger a lot --- a lot more than almost anyone else. thought he should be rated higher, but did NOT see this!!!

i think he throws it better than people are saying. and he's a gamer. every game, against almost every opponent, he had Texas in the game.

we need to have 3 QBs on the roster if wentz goes down its better to develop our own young back up then to pick up hoyer or some other horrible journeyman

I thought qb was going to be a late day pick. That first Ballard press conference this offseason gave the impression that Eason had not developed as quickly as expected. No qb had been brought in to compete for qb2, so it made sense to take one late today. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I like this. We needed some competition for Eason. He will probably end up on the PS. I expect Eason to earn the job but this was needed. These late round picks are kind of just throw away picks anyway with a team this loaded with talent.

[Patrick Miller]

Seems like a throwaway pick but what do I know? Heck im more excited for the undrafted free agents than I am who we pick in the 6th/7th round.

a horrible journeyman who would probably cost 4mil on a one year deal!

[DougDew]

Somebody please post his stats

[Nesjan3]

but...but Eason bahhaa

[Four2itus]

I think they heard Longhorns....down around Saracosa...

[JediXMan]

Got some wheels on him lol.

[GoColts8818]

Given Wentz injury history I can get on board with this.  It’s a late pick so it’s not like it’s a huge investment.  

[IndyEric07]

I think Ehlingers the only pick I got in the draftpool!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This is so much better then having to look for some awful journeyman if Wentz gets hurt and Eason has to play.

this pick is backing up eason if wentz gets hurt .

For a long time the franchise was spoiled with Manning, who never missed a snap, and got away with 2 qb's on the roster. A 3rd qb was absolutely necessary

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Also we will see if teams carry three QB this year and where we are with covid. 
 

Kevin Bowen has been talking about how Eason needed some competition.

[Gigc]

Anybody here old enough besides me to remember Billy Kilmer?
