The Eagles build through the trenches, and as the defending Super Bowl champions take steps to retool a dominant roster, the offensive and defensive line will be the focus of attention.
The initial wave of NFL free agency is over, and the results could significantly impact April's NFL Draft, which will occur at the end of next month. Like every team in the league, Philadelphia worked hard to retain its talent on the open market while looking to set aside cash for future deals. With no big-money deals paid in free agency, the Eagles will rebuild through the draft over the next two years.
Philadelphia is set to have eight selections in this year’s draft and could use its first-round pick on a key player in the future. Aaron Wilson reports that former Oregon Ducks All-American offensive tackle Josh Cornerly Jr. has a top-30 predraft visit scheduled with multiple teams, including the Eagles.
Conerly is regarded as one of the top offensive line prospects in the draft and is a projected first-round draft target. Philadelphia currently holds the 32nd overall selection.
Philadelphia loves athletic offensive linemen, and Conerly fits that mold as Lane Johnson's eventual successor. The Seattle native, who started his career as a running back before transitioning to offensive tackle as a sophomore, doesn’t turn 22 until November. In his three seasons at Oregon, Conerly Jr. played 41 games and was a two-year starter. He played 1,881 snaps at left tackle in three seasons and had a 78.0 overall grade from PFF for the 2024 season.
