Top DL Fits on B/R Big Board
Don’t get it twisted, the Eagles currently have a good unit of interior defensive linemen with Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo. However, the position group currently lacks depth, and all three are only under contract through 2026. Granted, the organization will likely pick up Carter’s fifth-year option.
Given how Howie Roseman likes to stay a year ahead of the roster’s needs, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him use a mid-round pick on a replacement option for Davis and/or Ojomo.
All three prospects above have second-round or later grades from B/R’s scouting department, making them options for Philadelphia’s general manager.
Orange could be a good replacement option for Davis at nose tackle, since “Big Citrus” is known for his abilities to be a gap-filler against the run and occasionally collapse the pocket.
The same goes for Miller, and it’s been well-documented how much Roseman likes to draft defensive players from Georgia (i.e., Carter and Davis).Â
Durant could step in for Ojomo, since they’re similar in size: 6’1″ and 294 pounds for the former and 6’3″ and 292 pounds for the latter. Also, the Penn State product is a stout run defender who has some decent lateral movement skills to get penetration on stunts.
