The wait is over for Southern Cal quarterback Matt Barkley.
The Eagles gave up a seventh-rounder to move up from 101st to 98th in the fourth round, and chose Barkley.
The move up was likely necessary to get him before the Chiefs or Raiders, who might have taken the guy many thought was a first-rounder.
Barkley doesn’t seem like a natural style fit with Chip Kelly and the Eagles, but Kelly’s won with different types of quarterbacks, and now with Michael Vick, Nick Foles and Dennis Dixon on had, they have another player with which to work.
