If previous years are any indication, the Eagles are bound to take an offensive lineman a round or two earlier than the consensus might expect them to later this month.
It’s not for lack of reasons, either; the Eagles have a pretty impressive starting group going into next year but are depleting some of their depth by replacing Brandon Brooks with Landon Dickerson. With 34-year-old Jason Kelce taking it year by year, the philosophy of taking a guy a year early rather than a year late, the same approach that led the Eagles to take Dickerson in the second round last year, would make sense this offseason.
Some teams will scratch Linderbaum off the board because of his lack of scheme versatility, but he fits what the Eagles do incredibly well.Johnson’s stock has steadily risen this draft cycle and there’s a good chance he’s the first guard off the board. If the Eagles are exclusively looking for an early-round guard who resembles Brooks, Green will likely have the edge over Johnson. Which one teams prefer will likely come down to preference based on scheme.Parham has been oft-mentioned in this draft series because he’s one of the few mobile centers who will be available on the second day of the draft, perhaps even the third.
Hayes is one of the strongest guards in the class, but needs to improve his technique to become more consistent. Sounds like a job worthy of Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, who got an up-close look at Hayes at the Senior Bowl.Neal fits the mold of a top-5 tackle: A freakish athlete whose movement skills at 6-7, 337 pounds defies logic.
