Offensive Line

Andre Dillard, Isaac Seumalo, Jason Kelce, Brandon Brooks, Lane Johnson, Landon Dickerson, Jordan Mailata, Jack Driscoll, Nate Herbig

This was actually one of the hardest groups to pick for me due to how much depth the Eagles currently have at the position. The team carried eight offensive lineman in 2020, but we’re going to go with nine here in 2021.

Starting first with the left tackle position, I don’t think Roseman is ready to give up on Andre Dillard quite yet. Despite all the trade rumors that have circulated, my guess is the Eagles will give their former first-round pick a proper chance to win the starting LT job.

After Dillard, the rest of the offensive line is pretty set in stone, with Jordan Mailata and Landon Dickerson to be the first two players off the bench in case of emergency.

I Initially was going to stick with eight players at this position, but I couldn’t choose between Jack Driscoll and Nate Herbig. Both players flashed some potential last season, and I can’t see the Eagles risking either one to waivers.

The Eagles added a few free agent O-Linemen and a few UDFA linemen this past offseason, all players who could have a spot on the practice squad as added depth.
