The Eagles have been very high on quarterbacks in the Draft. They have already worked out four, and will work out a fifth next week.
But really, the two worth mentioning are Jared Goff and Carson Wentz. The reason being is that the Eagles would likely have to trade up to select either.
The Eagles worked out Carson Wentz on Wednesday, but it went much further than just a workout. Owner Jeffrey Lurie, head coach Doug Pederson and other Eagles management were seen having dinner with Wentz at a Fargo restaurant.

The Eagles have said they have been putting due diligence into looking at potential quarterbacks via the Draft, but this is something different. The Eagles have clearly expressed interest in Wentz, and there's no way to prove that they have followed the same process — workout then dinner — with the others like Goff or Paxton Lynch.
That said, the proof is in the picture, and this one is worth a thousand words at the moment.
