The Eagles agreed to terms with 2012 third-round draft selection Nick Foles on a four-year deal.

Foles is the highest drafted Arizona quarterback since 1962. Foles finished his collegiate career as the Wildcats all-time leading passer in yards (10,011), touchdowns (67), attempts (1,369) and completions (933).

As a senior Foles broke Wildcat single-season records with 560 attempts,  387 completions, 4,334 yards and.28 touchdowns.

Look at video of Nick Foles when the Arizona Wildcats had a senior offensive line (below) and you wonder why he dropped to the third round.

Foles doesn't play nearly as slow as the guy who ran the 5.1 40-yard dash at the scouting combine.

All of that said I'm reminded of telling research supplied NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock.

In the last eight drafts, 23 quarterbacks have been selected in the first round. Fifteen are starters.

In the last eight drafts, 82 quarterbacks were drafted in rounds 2 through 7. Only seven have become starters.

Statistically there's less than a 9 percent chance Foles is the Eagles' future starting quarterback.
